Abstract: (1) Background: Adaptive diversification of complex traits plays a pivotal role in the evolution of organismal diversity. In the freshwater snail genus Tylomelania, adaptive radiations were likely promoted by trophic specialization via diversification of their… read more here.

Abstract: A trade-off between aquatic and terrestrial locomotion is self-evident at broad phylogenetic scales. While the effects of more subtle trade-offs in the evolution of closely related species are less clear, they are hypothesized to drive… read more here.
