    • Evolutionary determinism and convergence associated with water-column transitions in marine fishes 

      Rincon-Sandoval, Melissa; Duarte-Ribeiro, Emanuell; Davis, Aaron M.; Santaquiteria, Aintzane; Hughes, Lily C.; Baldwin, Carole C.; Soto-Torres, Luisángely; Acero P., Arturo; Walker Jr, H.J.; Carpenter, Kent E.; Sheaves, Marcus; Ortí, Guillermo; Arcila, Dahiana; Betancur-R., Ricardo (2020-12-16)
      Repeatable, convergent outcomes are prima facie evidence for determinism in evolutionary processes. Among fishes, well-known examples include microevolutionary habitat transitions into the water column, where freshwater ...

    • Marine fish diversification along the water column gradient: a tale of many threads 

      Emanuell, Duarte Ribeiro (2022-08-04)
      Decades of investigation about the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for the astonishing diversity of fishes have suggested habitat transitions along the water column as a prominent ecological divergence axis affecting ...
