Abstract: Abstract It is widely believed that species richness patterns (SRPs) are shaped by both ecological and evolutionary processes. However, the relative roles of these processes remain unclear, especially for aquatic organisms. In this study, we… read more here.

Abstract: Rhodopsin (RH1), the temperature-sensitive visual pigment, attained cold adaptation by functional trade-offs between protein stability and activity. Recent studies suggested convergent selection pressures drove cold adaptation of rhodopsin in high altitude catfishes through nonparallel molecular… read more here.
