Phylogenomics of trophically diverse cichlids disentangles processes driving adaptive radiation and repeated trophic transitions

Abstract Cichlid fishes of the tribe Tropheini are a striking case of adaptive radiation, exemplifying multiple trophic transitions between herbivory and carnivory occurring in sympatry with other established cichlid lineages. Tropheini evolved highly specialized eco‐morphologies to exploit similar...
