Anterior-posterior gene expression differences in three Lake Malawi cichlid fishes with variation in body stripe orientation
Morphological differentiation among closely related species provides opportunities to study mechanisms shaping natural phenotypic variation. Here, we address variation in the orientation of melanin-colored body stripes in three cichlid species of the tribe Haplochromini. Melanochromis auratus displa...
