A paper by Sina Rometsch was published as an open access paper by The Royal Society Publishing

The article titled " Evolu­tion­ary dynam­ics of pre- and postzy­gotic repro­duc­tive isola­tion in cichlid fishes" by HFA doctoral student Sina Rometsch examines the repro­duc­tive isola­tion barri­ers of cichlid fish.

Cichlid fishes are excep­tion­ally species-rich, speci­ated at explo­sive rates and, hence, are a model system in speci­a­tion research. Yet, their repro­duc­tive isolat­ing barri­ers have, so far, not been compre­hen­sively studied. This article displays current knowl­edge on pre- and postzy­gotic mecha­nisms in cichlids.

This article is part of the theme issue ‘Towards the comple­tion of speci­a­tion: the evolu­tion of repro­duc­tive isola­tion beyond the first barri­ers'. The Open Access paper was produced in collab­o­ra­tion with Hector Fellow Axel Meyer, as well as Ralf Schnei­der and Julián Torres-Dowdall of the Depart­ment of Zoology at the Univer­sity of Konstanz.
