Outline of Research at the Start |
We hypothesize that differences in pigmentation pattern ontogeny between Amphiprion ocellaris and A. percula are linked to variations in thyroid hormone (TH) signaling. We will document and compare pigmentation patterns, measure TH levels, and analyze gene expression related to TH signaling. This study aims to uncover the developmental and genetic mechanisms behind phenotypic diversity in these species, offering insights into their ecological and evolutionary significance.
