Do constructional constraints influence cichlid craniofacial diversification?
Constraints on form should determine how organisms diversify. Owing to competition for the limited space within the body, investment in adjacent structures may frequently represent an evolutionary compromise. For example, evolutionary trade-offs between eye size and jaw muscles in cichlid fish of the African great lakes are thought to represent a constructional constraint that influenced the di...
متن کاملCichlid Evolution: Lessons in Diversification
With an estimated 3000 species, distributed from Central and South America, across Africa to Madagascar, the Middle East, and southern India, cichlid fishes (Cichlidae) represent the most species-rich family of vertebrates. In total they account for about 10% of extant teleost diversity. Throughout their distributional range, cichlids have repeatedly demonstrated their capacity for undergoing a...
متن کاملCichlid Evolution: Lessons in Diversification 2012
This is the second special issue on cichlid evolution hosted by the International Journal of Evolutionary Biology. Once more, we are overwhelmed by the vivid responses to our call for contributions, and thank the authors for their great work. The thirteen papers in this issue, including two reviews, span geographically from Africa to South America and address a wide variety of evolutionary topi...
متن کاملDo the diversification choices of individual investors influence stock returns ? $
This paper shows that the diversification choices of individual investors influence stock returns. A zero-cost portfolio that takes a long (short) position in stocks with the least (most) diversified individual investor clientele generates an annual, risk-adjusted return of 5–9%. This spread reflects the combined effects of sentiment-induced mispricing, narrow risk framing, and asymmetric infor...
متن کاملWhy Subject Relatives Prevail: Constraints versus Constructional Licensing
Relative clauses containing subject relative-pronouns are the prevalent type both across languages and in conversation, accounting for 65% of relative clauses in the American National Corpus (Reali and Christiansen 2007). This fact appears attributable to processing constraints, as per Hawkins 1999, 2004: subject extractions are the most local filler-gap dependency and therefore impose the leas...
