Divergent selection and phenotypic plasticity during incipient speciation in Lake Victoria cichlid fish.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2009

Magalhaes I S, Mwaiko S, Schneider M V, Seehausen O

Abstract excerpt

Divergent selection acting on several different traits that cause multidimensional shifts are supposed to promote speciation, but the outcome of this process is highly dependent on the balance between the strength of selection vs. gene flow. Here, we studied a pair of sister species of Lake Victoria cichlids at a location where they hybridize and tested the hypothesis that divergent selection acting on several...
