The repeated evolution of stripe patterns is correlated with body morphology in the adaptive radiations of East African cichlid fishes

Abstract Color patterns are often linked to the behavioral and morphological characteristics of an animal, contributing to the effectiveness of such patterns as antipredatory strategies. Species‐rich adaptive radiations, such as the freshwater fish family Cichlidae, provide an exciting opportunity t...
