Evolutionary genetics of cave-dwelling fishes of the genus astyanax.

John C. Avise, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1972 - 
TL;DR: The genic character and degree of variability in troglobitic and epigean populations of the characid fish Astyanax mexicanus in Mexico are compared to show the impact of climatic changes associated with glaciation on population genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution and speciation on holey adaptive landscapes

Sergey Gavrilets
- 01 Aug 1997 - 
TL;DR: A new framework is emerging for deepening the understanding of evolution and speciation, which provides a plausible multidimensional alternative to the conventional view of rugged adaptive landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Fate of Clades in a World of Recurrent Climatic Change: Milankovitch Oscillations and Evolution

Roland Jansson, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2002 - 
TL;DR: Clades that have survived climatic shifts during at least one entire period of the longest significant Milankovitch oscillations (100 kyr) are named β-clades, which lead to sorting at many levels of genealogic inclusiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Model of Sympatric Speciation by Sexual Selection

George F. Turner, +1 more
- 22 Jun 1995 - 
TL;DR: A simulation model indicates that reversal of female mate preference in a single individual can lead rapidly to full reproductive isolation in a small population, and suggests that differences in mating system and its genetic bases may account for some of the differences in speciation rates among lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Combinatorial View on Speciation and Adaptive Radiation

David Alexander Marques, +6 more
- 01 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: Why old variants are particularly good fuel for rapid speciation, and hypothesize that variation in access to such old variants might contribute to the large variation in speciation rates observed in nature.
