New genetic analyses of cichlids in Lake Victoria highlight several candidate genes that may drive adaptive radiation and provide evidence for decisive selective events that cause particular genetic ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Textbook examples of adaptive radiation often show rapid morphological changes in response to environmental perturbations. East Africa’s Lake ...
Different species of fish, called cichlids, swim in East Africa's Lake Victoria. More than 700 cichlid species have evolved in the Lake Victoria region over the past 150,000 years. Disclaimer: AAAS ...
Lake Victoria cichlids are known to use differing chromophore mixtures (van d er Meer and Bowmaker, 1995). However, the new study of Terai et al (2002) is one of the first to examine the variability ...
Biologists use the term adaptive radiation to describe a phenomenon in which new species rapidly evolve from an ancestral species, often in response to changes in the local environment that lead to ...
