Extremophile Poeciliidae: multivariate insights into the complexity of speciation along replicated ecological gradients
BMC EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 16.
author keywords: Hydrogen sulfide; Gambusia; Ecological speciation; Life-history evolution; Morphometrics; Poecilia; Reproductive isolation
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological; Animals; Biological Evolution; Cyprinodontiformes / metabolism; Cyprinodontiformes / physiology; Ecosystem; Extremophiles / metabolism; Extremophiles / physiology; Female; Gene Flow; Genetic Speciation; Hydrogen Sulfide / metabolism; Male; Multivariate Analysis; Phenotype; Poecilia / metabolism; Poecilia / physiology; Reproductive Isolation; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
Progress toward ecological speciation was variable, partially reflecting variation in the strength of divergent selection, highlighting the complexity of selective regimes even in natural systems that are seemingly governed by a single, strong selective agent.

2014 journal article
Colonisation of toxic environments drives predictable life-history evolution in livebearing fishes (Poeciliidae)
ECOLOGY LETTERS, 17(1), 65–71.
author keywords: Divergent natural selection; ecological speciation; extreme environments; Gambusia; life-history evolution; phenotypic convergence; Poecilia; replicated evolution
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Body Size; Clutch Size; Female; Fertility; Hydrogen Sulfide / toxicity; Poecilia / physiology; Pregnancy
TL;DR:
This work examines nine poeciliid species that independently colonised toxic environments, and shows that these fishes have indeed repeatedly evolved much larger offspring size at birth in sulphidic waters, thus uncovering a widespread pattern of predictable evolution.

2014 journal article
EVOLUTION OF MALE COLORATION DURING A POST-PLEISTOCENE RADIATION OF BAHAMAS MOSQUITOFISH (GAMBUSIA HUBBSI)
EVOLUTION, 68(2), 397–411.
author keywords: Animal communication; condition dependence; indicator traits; predation; sensory drive; sexual selection and ornamentation
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Size / genetics; Cyprinodontiformes / anatomy & histology; Cyprinodontiformes / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Genetic Speciation; Genetic Variation; Male; Pigmentation / genetics; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
A promising approach is illustrated for gaining a detailed understanding of the many contributing factors in the evolution of multivariate sexual signals by testing the effects of resource availability, male body size and other life‐history traits, key aspects of the transmission environment, sex ratio, and predation risk on variation in multiple male color traits of Bahamas mosquitofish inhabiting blue holes.

Predation's Role in Life-History Evolution of a Livebearing Fish and a Test of the Trexler-DeAngelis Model of Maternal Provisioning
AMERICAN NATURALIST, 181(1), 78–93.
author keywords: adaptive radiation; convergent evolution; divergent natural selection; ecological speciation; Gambusia; Poeciliidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Bahamas; Biological Evolution; Body Composition; Cyprinodontiformes / physiology; Female; Food Chain; Male; Perciformes / physiology; Reproduction; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
This study offers strong evidence for convergent evolution of similar life histories in similar predation regimes, largely matching previous phenotypic patterns observed in other poeciliid lineages, and further supports the notion that matrotrophy is most likely to evolve in stable high-resource environments.

Speciation by selection: A framework for understanding ecology's role in speciation
CURRENT ZOOLOGY, 59(1), 31–52.
author keywords: Speciation; Ecological speciation; Mutation order; Reinforcement; One-allele mechanism; Reproductive isolation
TL;DR:
A unified framework of speciation is presented, pro- viding mechanistic descriptions of fundamentally distinct routes to speciation, and how these may interact during lineage splitting and how all three mechanisms can occur side-by-side during speciation.

Shared and Unique Patterns of Embryo Development in Extremophile Poeciliids
PLOS ONE, 6(11).
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological; Animals; Ecosystem; Embryonic Development; Hydrogen Sulfide; Phenotype; Poecilia / anatomy & histology; Poecilia / embryology
TL;DR:
The results clearly demonstrate that even among sister taxa convergence in phenotypic traits is not always achieved by the same processes during embryo development, and discusses how the apparent ability of cave mollies to overcome this carotenoid-dependency may represent another potential mechanism explaining the lack of gene flow between surface and cave molls.
