Abstract

The body colouration extending into ultraviolet wavelengths in three species of Lake Malaŵi rock‐dwelling cichlids, Metriaclima zebra , Metriaclima benetos and Metriaclima barlowi was quantified. All three species were ultraviolet reflective with interspecific differences in reflectivity. In addition, individuals were able to behaviourally mediate their reflectivity.
