The paper investigates marine-to-freshwater fish transitions in Sahul rivers, finding that diversification success depends on paleoenvironmental dynamics rather than just ecological opportunity.

The paper analyzes skull diversification in eupercarian fishes, showing habitat and trophic ecology independently shape skull shape, with rapid evolution in certain clades and convergence in freshwater lineages.

This study investigates the evolutionary history of North American cavefishes, finding three independent cave colonisations linked to ancient climate changes and relaxed selection.

This study uses phylogenomic and phenotypic data to show that deep-sea anglerfishes have greater diversity and faster diversification rates than shallow-water relatives, challenging expectations about habitat constraints.
