The transcriptional correlates of divergent electric organ discharges in Paramormyrops electric fish

Abstract Background Understanding the genomic basis of phenotypic diversity can be greatly facilitated by examining adaptive radiations with hypervariable traits. In this study, we focus on a rapidly diverged species group of mormyrid electric fish in the genus Paramormyrops, which are characterized...
