A phylogeny of the genus Limia (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) suggests a single-lake radiation nested in a Caribbean-wide allopatric speciation scenario
Spikes, Montrai; Rodríguez-Silva, Rodet; Bennett, Kerri-Ann; Bräger, Stefan; Josaphat, James; Torres-Pineda, Patricia; Ernst, Anja; Havenstein, Katja; Schlupp, Ingo; Tiedemann, Ralph (2021)The Caribbean is an important global biodiversity hotspot. Adaptive radiations there lead to many speciation events within a limited period and hence are particularly prominent biodiversity generators. A prime example are ... -
Feeding strategies and diet variation in livebearing fishes of the genus Limia (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae) in the Greater Antilles
Rodríguez-Silva, Rodet; Spikes, Montrai; Iturriaga, Manuel; Bennett, Kerri-Ann; Josaphat, James; Torres-Pineda, Patricia; Bräger, Stefan; Schlupp, Ingo (2022)Feeding specialisations are known to play an important role in the ecology and evolution of many organisms. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on the data of the gut content of eight species of the ... -
