Neural innervation as a potential trigger of morphological color change and sexual dimorphism in cichlid fish.

Abstract excerpt

Many species change their coloration during ontogeny or even as adults. Color change hereby often serves as sexual or status signal. The cellular and subcellular changes that drive color change and how they are orchestrated have been barely understood, but a deeper knowledge of the underlying processes is important to our understanding of how such plastic changes develop and evolve.
