Annual review of genomics and human genetics - 1 Jan 2014
Henning Frederico, Meyer Axel
Abstract excerpt
With more than 1,500 species, cichlid fishes provide textbook examples of recent and diverse adaptive radiations, rapid rates of speciation, and the parallel evolution of adaptive phenotypes among both recently and distantly related lineages. This extraordinary diversity has attracted considerable interest from researchers across several biological disciplines. Their broad phenotypic variation coupled with recent...
