This project examines the evolutionary mechanisms behind phenotypic diversity in cichlid fish, focusing on color and behavior. By utilizing genomic tools, it aims to identify genetic factors influencing these traits and their implications for competition and selection in natural populations.
One of the most intriguing questions in evolutionary biology is why some groups of animals contain many species while others contain only a few.
One important factor influencing biodiversity is selection on a male secondary sexual trait arising from aggressive competition between males to gain access to females or resources.
Colour polymorphic species are excellent to study effects of competition on the evolution of phenotypic diversity.
Typically one morph is behaviourally dominant over the oth…
