Visual sensitivities tuned by heterochronic shifts in opsin gene expression
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cichlid fishes have radiated into hundreds of species in the Great Lakes of Africa. Brightly colored males display on leks and vie to be chosen by females as mates. Strong discrimination by females causes differential male mating suc...
