Diverse prey capture strategies in teleost larvae [PDF]
eLifeAnimal behavior is adapted to the sensory environment in which it evolved, while also being constrained by physical limits, evolutionary history, and developmental trajectories. The hunting behavior of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio), a cyprinid native to

GROWTH OF Geophagus brasiliensis REARED AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES AND FEEDING REGIMES
Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2021 The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth performance of Geophagus brasiliensis rearedb under distinct temperatures (24.3 ± 0.9, 28.1 ± 1.0, and 31.7 ± 0.8°C) and feeding regimes (apparent satiety and a supply of 4% of the total biomass).

Freshwater hydrozoan blooms alter activity and behaviour of territorial cichlids in Lake Tanganyika [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Blooms of gelatinous zooplankton can represent dramatic environmental perturbations for aquatic ecosystems. Yet, we still know little about how blooms impact fitness-related behaviours of fish caught within their areas of effect, especially for ...

The evolution of monogamy in cichlids and marine reef fishes
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the emergence of social monogamy, its origin is still intensely debated. Monogamy has many potential drivers, but evolutionary causality among them remains unclear.

The Evolutionary Dynamics of the Mitochondrial tRNA in the Cichlid Fish Family
Biology, 2022 The mitochondrial transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) attract more attention due to their highly dynamic and rapidly evolving nature. The current study aimed to detect and evaluate the dynamics, characteristic patterns, and variations of mitochondrial tRNAs.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Cichlid fishes of the tribe Tropheini are a striking case of adaptive radiation, exemplifying multiple trophic transitions between herbivory and carnivory occurring in sympatry with other established cichlid lineages. Tropheini evolved highly specialized

Genome-wide protein phylogenies for four African cichlid species
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background The thousands of species of closely related cichlid fishes in the great lakes of East Africa are a powerful model for understanding speciation and the genetic basis of trait variation.

Effects of different sampling intervals on apparent protein and energy digestibility of common feed ingredients by juvenile oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus)=Diferentes intervalos de coleta na determinação da digestibilidade aparente da proteína e da energia de ingredientes comuns para o apaiari (Astronotus ocellatus) [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2012 This study evaluated the apparent protein and energy digestibility of common feed ingredients (soybean meal, fish meal, wheat meal and corn) by juvenile oscars using two different sampling intervals (30 min. and 12h).
