Ontogeny of coloration patterns in Neotropical cichlids of the Tribe Heroini (TELEOSTEI: CICHLIDAE: CICHLASOMATINAE)
Muška, Milan ; Říčan, O. ; Novák, J.
We have studied the ontogeny of Cichlid fishes of the tribe Heroini, using developmental series. By observing the development of pigment patterns in larval, juvenile and adult cichlids, the homologous elements of the lateral barring pattern have been hypothesized. Although pigmentation is often disregarded as a source of characters containing historical information, the congruence of many of these characters with a recent phylogeny of heroini, suggest their utility. A common mechanism underlying pattern formation is suggested based on similarities between Neotropical and African Cichlids.
