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.

Individual variation in male mating preferences for female coloration in a polymorphic cichlid fish (2008)
Journal Article

Female color polymorphisms are common in the cichlid species radiations of Lake Victoria and Lake Malawi. According to theory, when a population harbors variation in sex-determining factors, polymorphism in female-linked coloration might generate ind...
