Diversification of freshwater fishes on islands is considered unlikely because the traits that enable successful colonization-specifically, broad salinity tolerances and the potential for oceanic dispersal-may also constrain post-colonization genetic differentiation. Some secondary freshwater fish, however, exhibit pronounced genetic differentiation and geographic structure on islands, whereas others do not. It...
