Ecomorphological divergence and habitat lability in the context of robust patterns of modularity in the cichlid feeding apparatus
Abstract Background Adaptive radiations are characterized by extreme and/or iterative phenotypic divergence; however, such variation does not accumulate evenly across an organism. Instead, it is often partitioned into sub-units, or modules, which can differentially respond to selection. While it is...
