With its more than 500 young and ecologically diverse species, the Lake Malawi cichlid adaptive radiation provides a great system to study the evolution of biodiversity and...

Lake Malawi cichlid fish went through a recent adaptive radiation event, which generated more than 500 closely related species in less than 200,000 years. With similar genomic...

East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. Although...

This research project considers the genetic mechanisms of vertebrate diversification from two perspectives. The first is that of population genetics. How many genes experience...

Convergent evolution of melanic horizontal stripes has been linked to a single locus harboring the gene agouti-related peptide 2 (agrp2). However, where and when the causal...

Whole genome sequences are beginning to revolutionise our understanding of phylogenetic relationships. Yet, even whole genome sequences can fail to resolve the evolutionary...

Cichlid fishes are known for their differential expression of opsin genes. Opsin gene expression differs between adults of different species. In addition, some species vary...
