The effect of selection on a long wavelength-sensitive (LWS) opsin gene of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 26 Nov 2002

Terai Yohey, Mayer Werner E, Klein Jan, Tichy Herbert, Okada Norihiro

Abstract excerpt

In East African Lake Victoria >200 endemic species of haplochromine fishes have been described on the basis of morphological and behavioral differences. Yet molecular analysis has failed to reveal any species-specific differences among these fishes in either mitochondrial or nuclear genes. Althou...
