Comparative cytogenetic of six species of Amazonian Peacock bass (Cichla, Cichlinae): intrachromosomal variations and genetic introgression among sympatric species [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2020 Cytogenetic data for the genus Cichla Bloch et Schneider, 1801 are still very limited, with only four karyotype descriptions to date. The sum of the available cytogenetic information for Cichla species, points to a maintenance of the diploid number of 48

Genetic characterization of native and introduced populations of the neotropical cichlid genus Cichla in Brazil [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009 A molecular phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA and Control Region sequences from native and introduced populations was undertaken, in order to characterize the introduction of Cichla (peacock bass or tucunaré) species in ...

Climate change may increase the suitable habitats for invasive freshwater cichlids in a Neotropical basin [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlthough climate change may facilitate the spread of invasive alien species (IAS), research assessing this link remains limited. Recognizing suitable habitats where IAS have been introduced is crucial for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem ...

Reduced genetic diversity and the success of the invasive peacock bass (Cichliformes: Cichlidae)
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Several species of Cichla successfully colonized lakes and reservoirs of Brazil, since the 1960’s, causing serious damage to local wildlife. In this study, 135 peacock bass were collected in a reservoir complex in order to identify if they represented a ...

Coexistence of endemic peacock basses (Cichla) in a Neotropical reservoir (Cichlidae: Cichliformes) [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2022 Peacock basses (genus Cichla) are predatory fish widely distributed across the Amazon, where two or more species normally coexist in a same drainage. The mechanisms that allow coexistence remain poorly understood, although these species share a number of

Metazoan parasite fauna of two peacock-bass cichlid fish in Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2013 A parasitological study of two freshwater cichlid fish of the genus Cichla (C. kelberi and C. piquiti) from six different aquatic ecosystems in Brazil was performed. Based on the survey, a checklist of the component community of the metazoan parasites of
