Although there are many examples of color evolution potentially driven by sensory drive, only few studies have examined whether distinct species inhabiting the same environments evolve similar body colors via shared sensory mechanisms. In this study, we tested whether two sympatric freshwater fish taxa, halfbeaks of the genus <i>Nomorhamphus</i> and ricefishes of the genus <i>Oryzias</i> in Sulawesi Island, converge in both body color and visual sensitivity. After reconstructing the phylogeny se ...[more]
