Abstract: Cichlidae have a magnificent ecological versatility that provides the species to explore many trophic niches, and behavioural biology. This versatility was achieved by modifications in the cranial and pharyngeal apparatus of cichlids. Accordingly, we aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icz103
Abstract: Coral reefs are complex marine habitats that have been hypothesized to facilitate functional specialization and increased rates of functional and morphological evolution. Wrasses (Labridae: Percomorpha) in particular, have diversified extensively in these coral reef environments… read more here.
