Abstract excerpt
Pigment patterns of Danio fishes are a tractable system for assessing the developmental genetic bases for the evolution of adult form in vertebrates. These pigment patterns include multiple horizontal melanophore stripes in the zebrafish D. rerio, a complete absence of stripes in D. albolineatus, a few broad stripes in D. kerri, and a combination of stripes and spots in D. nigrofasciatus. Here we assess the...
