Genomics of adaptation and speciation in cichlid fishes: recent advances and analyses in African and Neotropical lineages.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 5 Feb 2012

Fan Shaohua, Elmer Kathryn R, Meyer Axel

Abstract excerpt

Cichlid fishes are remarkably phenotypically diverse and species-rich. Therefore, they provide an exciting opportunity for the study of the genetics of adaptation and speciation by natural and sexual selection. Here, we review advances in the genomics and transcriptomics of cichlids, particularly regarding ecologically relevant differences in body shape, trophic apparatus, coloration and patterning, and sex...
