Divergence in larval jaw gene expression reflects differential trophic adaptation in haplochromine cichlids prior to foraging
Abstract Background Understanding how variation in gene expression contributes to morphological diversity is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Cichlid fishes from the East African Great lakes exhibit striking diversity in trophic adaptations predicated on the functional modularity of their two s...
