DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3829-z
Abstract: Lake Malaŵi cichlids have evolved rapidly, extensively, and in some cases iteratively to fill an array of ecological niches; however, neither species richness nor trophic diversity is distributed equally across lineages. In the context of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14772019.2017.1359689
Abstract: A key step in the evolutionary history of Odontoceti (echolocating toothed cetaceans) is the transition from the ancestral heterodont condition – characterized by the presence of double-rooted cheek teeth bearing accessory denticles – to the… read more here.
