Geographic variation in opsin expression does not align with opsin genotype in Lake Victoria cichlid populations
Abstract Sensory adaptation to the local environment can contribute to speciation. Aquatic environments are well suited for studying this process: The natural attenuation of light through water results in heterogeneous light environments, to which vision‐dependent species must adapt for communicatio...
