Secondary contact seeds phenotypic novelty in cichlid fishes.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Theory proposes that genomic admixture between formerly reproductively isolated populations can generate phenotypic novelty for selection to act upon. Secondary contact may therefore be a significant promoter of phenotypic novelty that allows species to overcome environmental challenges and adapt to novel environments, including during adaptive radiation. To date, this has largely been considered from the...
