The Biology of Polymorphic Melanic Side-Spotting Patterns in Poeciliid Fishes
Melanin-based color patterns are an emerging model for studying molecular and evolutionary mechanisms driving phenotypic correlations. Extensive literature exists on color patterns and their correlated traits in the family Poeciliidae, indicating that these fishes are tractable models. We review the...
