Novel Candidate Genes Underlying Extreme Trophic Specialization in Caribbean Pupfishes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2017

McGirr Joseph A, Martin Christopher H

Abstract excerpt

The genetic changes responsible for evolutionary transitions from generalist to specialist phenotypes are poorly understood. Here we examine the genetic basis of craniofacial traits enabling novel trophic specialization in a sympatric radiation of Cyprinodon pupfishes endemic to San Salvador Island, Bahamas. This recent radiation consists of a generalist species and two novel specialists: a small-jawed...
