The genomics of convergent adaptation to intertidal gravel beaches in Mediterranean clingfishes

2025-09-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Introduction</h4> Understanding the genetic basis of widespread phenotypic convergence, particularly for complex morphological traits, remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. The Mediterranean gravel beach clingfishes of the genus Gouania provide an excellent system to study this phenomenon. Within this genus, two distinct morphotypes, “slender” and “stout”, have repeatedly evol...
