Background The East African riverine cichlid species Astatotilapia burtoni serves as an
important laboratory model for sexually dimorphic physiology and behavior, and also serves as …

Divergence in body shape is one of the most widespread and repeated patterns of
morphological variation in fishes and is associated with habitat specification and swimming …

East African cichlids display extensive variation in sex determination systems. The species
Astatotilapia calliptera is one of the few cichlids that reside both in Lake Malawi and in …

Simple Summary Skull and jaw shape are critical to how an animal eats. The goal of this work
was to examine how facial variation evolves and the genetic basis of these changes. We …

Pigment patterns are incredibly diverse across vertebrates and are shaped by multiple selective
pressures from predator avoidance to mate choice. A common pattern across fishes, but …

Since Darwin, biologists have sought to understand the evolution and origins of phenotypic
adaptations. The skull is particularly diverse due to intense natural selection such as feeding …

Divergence along the benthic-pelagic axis is one of the most widespread and repeated
patterns of morphological variation in fishes, producing body shape diversity associated with …

Mountainous areas in tropical West Java Province of Indonesia are dominated with volcanic
soil where vegetable production is carried out intensively since decades. Low temperature …

… In describing the potential of technology to facilitate “global networks”, Roberts also cautions
that using technology to build contacts among different groups “has never automatically led …

Do you consider yourself one of two extremes, UTOPIA-minded or HEAVENLY-minded, or
