| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project is to investigate the genetic and ecological mechanisms controlling the diversification of the anemonefish white bars. This will allow to understand how variation in fish color patterns arise at the molecular level and its biological significance, therefore providing an explanatory scaffold on pattern diversification.
To achieve this goal:
1.Comparative transcriptomics and breeding experiments to identify genes underlying bar pattern diversity
2.Mutagenesis experiments to directly test gene function
3.Behavioral experiments to test if bar number is used for species recognition
