TL;DR: This work identifies the ecological and molecular basis of divergent evolution in the cichlid visual system, demonstrates associated divergence in male colouration and female preferences, and shows subsequent differentiation at neutral loci, indicating reproductive isolation.

TL;DR: Parallel evolution in two cichlid genera under strong divergent selection in a gene that affects both is demonstrated, showing that the reciprocal fixation adapts populations to divergent light environments.

TL;DR: It is argued for the need for local, regional, and global programs to monitor intraspecific genetic variation and it is suggested that such monitoring should include two main strategies: intensive monitoring of multiple types of genetic variation in selected species and broad‐brush modeling for representative species for predicting changes in variation as a function of changes in population size and range extent.

TL;DR: Results indicate that Taiwania diverged first, and then Athrotaxis diverged from the remaining genera, and found acceleration of evolutionary rates in Cupressaceae s.s. in accordance with previous morphological groupings and the analyses of molecular data.

TL;DR: The results suggest that natural selection was responsible for the generation of the FUT2 polymorphism in European-Africans and in Iranians.
