Figure 2

Chromosomes of four African Nothobranchius species. DAPI stained chromosomes of (a) a female specimen of the N. furzeri GRZ strain, (b) a male specimen of the sympatric species N. orthonotus, and (c) a male specimen of the allopatric species N. hengstleri and (d) N. eggersi, respectively. Note the dull DAPI fluorescence at centromeric regions in N. furzeri chromosomes (indicated by arrowheads), which is indicative of the presence of G+C-rich constitutive heterochromatin and not observable in the three closely related Nothobranchius species.
