Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization and adaptive radiation

TL;DR: A concept that reconciles views of hybridization and ecological speciation theory is developed and adds a new twist to this debate, which predisposes colonizing populations to rapid adaptive diversification under disruptive or divergent selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cichlid Fish Diversity Threatened by Eutrophication That Curbs Sexual Selection

TL;DR: Cichlid fish species of Lake Victoria can interbreed without loss of fertility but are sexually isolated by mate choice, and human activities that increase turbidity destroy both the mechanism of diversification and that which maintains diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Speciation through sensory drive in cichlid fish

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish

TL;DR: This article found an excess of gene duplications in the East African lineage compared to Nile tilapia and other teleosts, an abundance of non-coding element divergence, accelerated coding sequence evolution, expression divergence associated with transposable element insertions, and regulation by novel microRNAs.
