Genital morphology and allometry differ by species and sex in Malawi cichlid fishes

HYDROBIOLOGIA, 791(1), 127–143.

By: E. Moore n & R. Roberts n

author keywords: Genital morphology; Cichlid fishes; Sexual dimorphism; Anogenital distance; Genital papilla
TL;DR: It is found that the most sexually distinct morphology is in the Lake Malawi rock cichlids and the least sexual dimorphism in the riverine outgroup; additionally, diversity in metrics within genus indicates that these traits are recently evolving. (via Semantic Scholar)
