Genetic linkage of distinct adaptive traits in sympatrically speciating crater lake cichlid fish.

Nature communications - 6 Sept 2016

Abstract excerpt

Our understanding of how biological diversity arises is limited, especially in the case of speciation in the face of gene flow. Here we investigate the genomic basis of adaptive traits, focusing on a sympatrically diverging species pair of crater lake cichlid fishes. We identify the main quantitative trait loci (QTL) for two eco-morphological traits: body shape and pharyngeal jaw morphology. These traits diverge...
