Developmental effects of environmental light on male nuptial coloration in Lake Victoria cichlid fish
Background Efficient communication requires that signals are well transmitted and perceived in a given environment. Natural selection therefore drives the evolution of different signals in different environments. In addition, environmental heterogeneity at small spatial or temporal scales may favour...
