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

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 ...

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
