Manuscript on #craniofacial variation in #sympatric #ecomorphs of #ArcticCharr
This darling is nearly ready for submission. Very cool results from a study led by Guðbjörg Ósk Jónsdóttir and Sarah Steele, based on pioneering work by Finnur Ingimarsson and Sigurður S. Snorrason.
Diversity in the internal functional feeding elements of sympatric morphs of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)

Tasty, fun to catch, and excellent models of speciation! Salmonids have it all! 🐟🍣🎣🧬😎
Specifically, co-ocurring (aka #sympatric) #salmonid #morphs that have #evolved recently, repeatedly, and independently can be thought of as natural replicates of #speciation!
Intrigued? Check out this talk I recently gave on "Evolutionary Insights from Sympatric Salmonid Morphs" at the #FishBase Salmonid Symposium at the Swedish Museum of Natural History!
