Ecol Evol
. 2023 Oct;
13(10):e10613.
PMID: 37859830
Geometric morphometrics (GM) enable the quantification of morphological variation on various scales. Recent technical advances allow analyzing complex three-dimensional shapes also in cases where landmark-based approaches are not appropriate. Pelvic...

Genome Biol Evol
. 2023 Jul;
15(8).
PMID: 37493080
Transitions from no parental care to extensive care are costly and involve major changes in life history, behavior, and morphology. Nevertheless, in Sulawesi ricefishes, pelvic brooding evolved from transfer brooding...

PMID: 37104600
Annotating coding genes and inferring orthologs are two classical challenges in genomics and evolutionary biology that have traditionally been approached separately, limiting scalability. We present TOGA (Tool to infer Orthologs...

. 2022 Sep;
283(11):1451-1463.
PMID: 36169091
Teleost fishes show an enormous diversity of parental care, ranging from no care to viviparity with maternal provisioning of embryos. External brooders carry their developing eggs attached to their bodies....

PMID: 35741791
(1) Background: Adaptive diversification of complex traits plays a pivotal role in the evolution of organismal diversity. In the freshwater snail genus , adaptive radiations were likely promoted by trophic...

Evolution
. 2022 Mar;
76(5):1033-1051.
PMID: 35334114
The evolution of complex phenotypes like reproductive strategies is challenging to understand, as they often depend on multiple adaptations that only jointly result in a specific functionality. Sulawesi ricefishes (Adrianichthyidae)...

32(3):715-724.e4.
PMID: 34932936
The evolution of pregnancy exposes parental tissues to new, potentially stressful conditions, which can trigger inflammation. Inflammation is costly and can induce embryo rejection, which constrains the evolution of pregnancy....
