| Research Abstract |
Animal color patterns are not only the most vivid examples of the enormous biodiversity, but also the potential cause for the biodiversity. To explore and evaluate the effect of 'pattern blending' by hybridization on the color pattern diversity and speciation, numerical simulation was performed. The color patterns of pufferfish (genus Takifugu) were also examined as illustrative examples.
