    BMC Evol Biol 9:194. 2009
    ..However, one critical assumption of this hypothesis, that diversification rates in teleosts increased soon after the acquisition of a duplicated genome, has never been tested...

    Luke J Harmon
    Department of Biological Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho 83844, USA
    Evolution 64:2385-96. 2010

    Luke J Harmon
    Department of Biological Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho 83844, USA
