The Significance of Colour Patterns in Fish for the Study of Some Fundamental Issues in Behaviour
نویسنده
چکیده
In this lecture I shall try to serve two p u r p o s e s : (1) I hope to give you an impression of the way ethologists s tudy the behaviour of fish, (2) I want to show you why fish can be extremely valuable subjects for the s tudy of a number of behaviour problems of crucial fundamental importance. As this special suitability is based on the capacity of changing rapidly and reversibly the body colouration and its (usually black) marking patterns, I shall restrict myself to examples of the relation between colours and behaviour in fish.

Conventional cytogenetic is the standard technique for detection of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Evaluation of abelson murine leukemia/breakpoint cluster region (abl/bcr) fusion using dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) is an alternative approach allowing rapid and reliable detection of the disease. We employed the technique of interphase D...
