The paper shows that chromosomal inversion drives speciation in riverine fishes despite ongoing gene flow, revealing evolutionary convergence in genomic architecture.

This study generates a phylogeny of marine fishes in the Carangoidei clade using UCEs and finds widespread sympatry among sister species pairs.

The paper uses ddRAD sequencing and CT scans to identify a second species in the ancient Bowfin lineage, dating diversification to the Pleistocene.

The paper examines diversification patterns in Antarctic fishes under periodic environmental disturbance, finding repeated trait space diversification and niche complementarity.

This study investigates the morphological expansion of spiny-rayed fishes after the K-Pg extinction, finding a prolonged diversification driven by body elongation and lineage radiation throughout the Cenozoic.

This study shows that historical contingency, not adaptive evolution, drove key skeletal modifications in Antarctic notothenioid fishes before polar conditions arose.
