To investigate the origins and stages of vertebrate adaptive radiation, we reconstructed the
spatial and temporal histories of adaptive alleles underlying major phenotypic axes of …

The origins of novel trophic specialization, in which organisms begin to exploit resources for
the first time, may be explained by shifts in behavior such as foraging preferences or feeding …

Behavioral changes in a new environment are often assumed to precede the origins of
evolutionary novelties. Here, we examined whether an increase in aggression is associated with …

Dietary specialization on hard prey items, such as mollusks and crustaceans, is commonly
observed in a diverse array of fish species. Many fish consume these types of prey by …

Trophic niche partitioning is observed in many adaptive radiations and is hypothesised to
be a central process underlying species divergence. However, patterns of dietary niche …

Reinforcement can occur when maladaptive hybridization in sympatry favors the evolution
of conspecific preferences and target traits that promote behavioral isolation (BI). In many …

Determining the direction and magnitude of mating preference is fundamental to many
questions in evolutionary biology. Unlike the measurement of traits such as body size, the …

To investigate the origins and stages of vertebrate adaptive radiation, we reconstructed the
spatial and temporal histories of genetic variants underlying major phenotypic axes of …

Many factors such as divergence time, shared standing genetic variation, frequency of
introgression, and mutation rates can influence the likelihood of whether populations adapt to …

Adaptation to novel ecological niches often includes shifts in behaviors, such as new
foraging preferences or changes in kinematics. Investigating prey capture kinematics is an …
