[PDF][PDF] Convergent evolution within an adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes

M Muschick, A Indermaur, W Salzburger - Current biology, 2012 - cell.com
The recurrent evolution of convergent forms is a widespread phenomenon in adaptive
radiations (eg, [1–9]). For example, similar ecotypes of anoles lizards have evolved on different …
