Viviparity stimulates diversification in an order of fish
Live birth and an annual life cycle potentially enable access to new ecological niches and subsequent species diversification. Here, Helmstetter et al.build the phylogeny for fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes and find that, though live birth and annualism have each evolved multiple times, only li...

Sumario: | Live birth and an annual life cycle potentially enable access to new ecological niches and subsequent species diversification. Here, Helmstetter et al.build the phylogeny for fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes and find that, though live birth and annualism have each evolved multiple times, only live birth is associated with increased diversification. |
