The genetic architecture of male colour differences between a sympatric Lake Malawi cichlid species pair.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2007

Barson N J, Knight M E, Turner G F

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of traits involved in reproductive isolation is a key parameter in models of sympatric speciation by sexual selection, a potential mechanism driving the explosive radiation of East African cichlids. Analysis of hybrid crosses between two sympatric Lake Malawi cichlid species, representing the extremes of the extant colour distribution, generated Castle-Wright estimates of four to seven loci...
