The cichlid oral and pharyngeal jaws are evolutionarily and genetically coupled

Modular, rather than integrated systems are classically thought to allow functional diversity to evolve rapidly. A study of cichlid fish shows integration between divergent jaw systems at the phylogenetic, population, and genetic scales, suggesting integration can and does facilitate rapid, coordina...

Sumario:Modular, rather than integrated systems are classically thought to allow functional diversity to evolve rapidly. A study of cichlid fish shows integration between divergent jaw systems at the phylogenetic, population, and genetic scales, suggesting integration can and does facilitate rapid, coordinated trait evolution.
