Effect of craniofacial genotype on the relationship between morphology and feeding performance in cichlid fishes.

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between morphology and performance is complex, but important for understanding the adaptive nature of morphological variation. Recent studies have sought to better understand this system by illuminating the interconnectedness of different functional systems; however, the role of genetics is often overlooked. In this study, we attempt to gain insights into this relationship by examining the effect...
