A story we've been working on for 10 years is finally out in Current Biology. We found that exposure to the same source of divergent selection results in variable degrees of convergence across different levels of biological organization. #TeamFish#Fish#Evolutionwww.cell.com/current-biol...
Convergent evolution is rarely studied in disparate but sympatric lineages. Greenway et al. study extremophile fishes and find that exposure to the same source of divergent selection results in variab...
🤩 thanks, we will add it to the collection! 🤣💯

Yes, more horned cavefishes please! 😍
Caves as species pumps: key innovations, isolation, and periodic introgression drive the world's largest cavefish radiation in a dynamic karstic landscape https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.12.612638v1
Species diversification is shaped by intricate interactions among biotic drivers, including gene flo
