Female preference for male color is necessary and sufficient for assortative mating in 2 cichlid sister species (2014, background): “The haplochromine cichlid fish of the East African Lakes have become a model system in speciation and adaptive radiation research (Kocher 2004; Seehausen 2006).”
Sympatric diversification as influenced by ecological opportunity and historical contingency in a young species lineage of whitefish (2010, background): “habitat and food resources) is expected to facilitate population divergence (Losos and Schluter, 2000; Schluter, 2000; Seehausen, 2006a).”
EARLY BURSTS OF BODY SIZE AND SHAPE EVOLUTION ARE RARE IN COMPARATIVE DATA (2010, background): “Recent analyses indicate a prevalence of early rapid accumulation of lineages followed by a slowdown in net diversification through time (Nee et al. 1992; Seehausen 2006; McPeek 2008; Phillimore and Price 2008; Rabosky and Lovette 2008; Linder 2009).”
Error in Phylogenetic Estimation for Bushes in the Tree of Life (2013, neutral): “, African cichlids; [71]).”
Unifying measures of biodiversity: understanding when richness and phylogenetic diversity should be congruent (2013, background): “…have long internal branches and many short terminal branches representing recent speciation events (e.g. the Cape Flora, Linder, 2005; cichlids, Seehausen, 2006) or assembly processes that select for clades of closely related species (Cadotte et al., 2010a; Helmus et al., 2010), the…”
Natural fragmentation in river networks as a driver of speciation for freshwater fishes (2013, background): “…a process that similarly affects highly isolated islands and lakes, where local speciation has largely contributed to an increase in endemism richness over evolutionary timescales (Heaney 2000, Losos and Schluter 2000, Barluenga et al. 2006, Seehausen 2006, Algar and Losos 2011).”
The Role of Parasitism in Adaptive Radiations—When Might Parasites Promote and When Might They Constrain Ecological Speciation? (2012, background): “These systems are particular as they harbour a tremendous diversity of hundreds of cichlid fish species each that have emerged in the lakes in a few ten thousand to one or two million years [63–65], representing spectacular examples both of biodiversity and adaptive radiation, and of the high rates ”
Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations (2017, neutral): “…how multiple adaptive radiations in the Lake Victoria Region, together forming 700 species, could arise in just 100–200 thousand years 31,32 , including 500 þ genetically and phenotypically well-differentiated species endemic to Lake Victoria which evolved in probably just 15,000 years 32,35 .”
Ecology and Evolution of the African Great Lakes and Their Faunas (2014, background): “This study and others (Michel et al. 2004, Salzburger & Meyer 2004, Seehausen 2006, Vadeboncoeur et al. 2011) suggest that several macroecological principles apply to the AGL: (a) Taxonomic diversity tends to increase with area (species-area effect), (b) more ecological niches (i.e., presence of…”
Ancient Lake Ohrid: biodiversity and evolution (2008, background): “On the other hand, there are lakes with incredible biotic diversity that are considered to be relatively young (e.g., Lake Victoria, Seehausen, 2006).”
Ecology of plant speciation (2010, background): “All of the highest rates of net diversification known across organisms are for young clades (e.g., 2.93 Ma–1 for Bermin Tilapia, 6.1 Ma–1 for Malawi Astatotilapia, and 178.8 Ma–1 for Natron Oreo chromis, with stem ages of 0.75 Ma, 1.00 Ma, and 0.009 Ma (see data of Seehausen, 2006).”
New insights on early evolution of spiny-rayed fishes (Teleostei: Acanthomorpha) (2014, background): “Acanthomorphs include also some of the most spectacular examples of explosive freshwater radiations, such as the African rift lakes cichlid flocks (Seehausen, 2006), the North American temperate water darters (Near et al., 2011), or the Lake Baikal sculpins (Sherbakov, 1999).”
On the role of male competition in speciation: a review and research agenda (2018, background): “T ab le 1 C on tin ue d Empirical support for a role of male competition in sympatric speciation comes primarily from cichlid fish, a model system for studying adaptive radiation (Seehausen 2006).”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “The increasing availability of genomic data for species in adaptive radiations (e.g., Dar-Adaptive win’s ﬁnches: Abzhanov et al. 2004, 2006) and the ability to combine detailed studies of natural selection and genomics will immeasurably advance our understanding of adaptive radiation; such work is…”
