Disruptive sexual selection on male nuptial coloration in an experimental hybrid population of cichlid fish (2008)
Journal Article
Stelkens, R. B., Pierotti, M. E., Joyce, D. A., Smith, A. M., van der Sluijs, I., & Seehausen, O. (2008). Disruptive sexual selection on male nuptial coloration in an experimental hybrid population of cichlid fish. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 363(1505), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2008.0049

Theory suggests that genetic polymorphisms in female mating preferences may cause disruptive selection on male traits, facilitating phenotypic differentiation despite gene flow, as in reinforcement or other models of speciation with gene flow. Very l... Read More about Disruptive sexual selection on male nuptial coloration in an experimental hybrid population of cichlid fish.

Helmholtz solitons: Maxwell’s equations, interfaces, bistability & counterpropagation (2008)
