Assessing morphological differences in an adaptive trait: a landmark-based morphometric approach.

The Journal of experimental zoology - 1 May 2001

Albertson R C, Kocher T D

Abstract excerpt

East African cichlid fishes have evolved a stunning array of oral jaw morphologies. To better understand the adaptive evolution of this trait, we performed a morphological analysis of the jaws of two closely related species from Lake Malawi that have very different modes of feeding. Labeotropheus fuelleborni forages along the substrate with a "biting" mode of feeding, while Metriaclima zebra feeds in the water...
