The paper examines how nocturnality and transitions to diurnality in bony fishes and vertebrates influenced survival during mass extinctions and post-extinction diversification.

The paper examines how the adaptive radiation of African cichlid fishes influenced viral diversity and evolution, finding accelerated hepacivirus diversification during periods of rapid cichlid diversification.

The paper describes the organization and success factors of a long-running bioinformatics workshop on population and speciation genomics, highlighting its educational impact and scientific outcomes.

The paper examines diversification dynamics in African cichlid fishes along an ecological gradient, finding that divergent selection drives early speciation while periods of allopatry contribute to speciation completion, with varying levels of parallelism observed.

The paper identifies sex chromosome signatures in 79 cichlid taxa, showing high rates of sex chromosome turnover and non-random recruitment of chromosomes as sex chromosomes.

The paper uses 3D-printed shell replicas to study preference functions in cichlid fish, finding that intactness, length, and aperture width are key factors in shelter choice.

This study shows ancestral hybridisation contributed to diversification in Lake Malawi cichlids by introducing genetic variation that was differentially selected during speciation.

The paper identifies multiple rod opsin expansions in deep-sea fish genomes, showing that some species use multiple rod opsins for vision in dim light.

The paper uses Bayesian divergence-time estimation with genome-wide SNP data to reanalyze sea catfishes' speciation, suggesting vicariant speciation in the Late Miocene before the final Panamanian Isthmus closure.
