Independent Transitions to Freshwater Environments Promote Phenotypic Divergence, Not Convergence, in Stingrays.

Integrative and comparative biology - 21 Nov 2024

Magnuson A, Dean M N, Weaver J C, Fontenelle J P, Lovejoy N R, Kolmann M A

Abstract excerpt

Instances of convergent or parallel evolution provide a potent model system for exploring contingency and determinism in evolutionary biology. Likewise, the multiple, independent habitat transitions from saltwater to freshwater biomes offer opportunities for studying convergent evolution within and among different vertebrate lineages. For example, stingrays have invaded freshwater habitats multiple times across...
