Divergent Selection on Opsins Drives Incipient Speciation in Lake Victoria Cichlids (2006)

Yohey Terai, Ole Seehausen, Takeshi Sasaki, Kazuhiko Takahashi, Shinji Mizoiri, Tohru Sugawara, ...

Divergent natural selection acting on ecological traits, which also affect mate choice, is a key element of ecological speciation theory, but has not previously been demonstrated at the molecular...

The effect of selection on a long wavelength-sensitive (LWS) opsin gene of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes

Terai, Yohey, Mayer, Werner E., Klein, Jan, Tichy, Herbert, Okada, Norihiro

In East African Lake Victoria >200 endemic species of haplochromine fishes have been described on the basis of morphological and behavioral differences. Yet molecular analysis has failed to reveal...

The complexity of alternative splicing of hagoromo mRNAs is increased in an explosively speciated lineage in East African cichlids

Terai, Yohey, Morikawa, Naoko, Kawakami, Koichi, Okada, Norihiro

The adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in the lakes of East Africa is a prime example of speciation. The choice of cichlid mates on the basis of a variety of coloration represents a potential basis...

Parallelism of amino acid changes at the RH1 affecting spectral sensitivity among deep-water cichlids from Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi

Sugawara, Tohru, Terai, Yohey, Imai, Hiroo, Turner, George F., Koblmüller, Stephan, Sturmbauer, Christian, ...

Many examples of the appearance of similar traits in different lineages are known during the evolution of organisms. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms have been elucidated in very few cases....

A Second-Generation Genetic Linkage Map of Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.)

Lee, Bo-Young, Lee, Woo-Jai, Streelman, J. Todd, Carleton, Karen L., Howe, Aimee E., Hulata, Gideon, ...

We constructed a second-generation linkage map of tilapia from the F2 progeny of an interspecific cross between Oreochromis niloticus and Oreochromis aureus. The map reported here contains 525...
