Male-male competition and speciation: Aggression bias towards differently coloured rivals varies between stages of speciation in a Lake Victoria cichlid species complex (2006)
Journal Article
Dijkstra, P. D., Seehausen, O., Pierotti, M. E., & Groothuis, T. G. (2007). Male-male competition and speciation: Aggression bias towards differently coloured rivals varies between stages of speciation in a Lake Victoria cichlid species complex. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 20(2), 496-502. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2006.01266.x

Sympatric speciation driven by sexual selection by female mate choice on a male trait is a much debated topic. The process is problematic because of the lack of negative frequency-dependent selection that can facilitate the invasion of a novel colour...
