Phenotypic plasticity in the lower pharyngeal jaw dentition of Astatoreochromis alluaudi (Teleostei: Cichlidae).

Archives of oral biology - 1 Nov 1995

Huysseune A

Abstract excerpt

The potentially molluscivorous cichlid fish Astatoreochromis alluaudi is known to exhibit a pronounced phenotypic plasticity in its pharyngeal jaw apparatus. Two phenotypes (wild-caught snail-eating specimens and specimens raised on soft food) were examined for differences in the number, size, shape, spacing and wear of functional teeth on the lower pharyngeal jaw. During growth, snail-eating specimens maintain...
