Genetic Mapping of Orofacial Traits Reveals a Single Genomic Region Associated With Differences in Multiple Parameters of Jaw Size Between Astyanax mexicanus Surface and Cavefish

open access: yesEvolution &Development, EarlyView.
By performing a genetic association study in cave × surface fish F2 hybrids, we discovered that premaxilla width, dentary length, and maxillary length are all significantly associated with a region on Chromosome 13 containing 109 genes. ABSTRACT The regulation of bone size is a poorly understood and complex developmental process.

A new species of Gyrodactylus (Monogenea, Gyrodactylidae), an ectoparasite from the endemic Iranocichla hormuzensis (Teleostei, Cichlidae), the only Iranian cichlid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Iranocichla hormuzensis occupies a biogeographically peculiar position. This endemic of southern Iran is the only Iranian cichlid. While it is phylogenetically related to African oreochromine members of the cichlid family, it remains unclear how it has ...

Evolution: Cichlid Models on the Runaway to Speciation [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
Rapid speciation has fascinated biologists for a long time. A recent study shows that ecological opportunity and sex-biased color differences increase the likelihood of speciation in African cichlid fishes.

Sex‐biased dispersal in the Arabian babbler (Argya squamiceps)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Sex‐biased dispersal plays a central role in shaping social structure and reproductive strategies in many bird species. In the Arabian Babbler Argya squamiceps, a cooperatively breeding species with pronounced male philopatry, dispersal occurs individually or in kin‐based same‐sex coalitions.

Effects of some environmental factors on the fecundity of Tilapia species (Family Cichlidae) in Kigera Reservoir, New Bussa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The effects of some environmental factors on the fecundity of Tilapia species (Family Cichilidae) was carried out at the Kigera dam. Four Tilapia species caught were Tilapia zilli, Hemichromis fasciatus, Sarotherodon galilaeus and Oreochromis niloticus ...

Opsin expression predicts male nuptial color in threespine stickleback. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Theoretical models of sexual selection suggest that male courtship signals can evolve through the build-up of genetic correlations between the male signal and female preference.

Hearing in the jewel cichlid [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1982
An in-depth analysis of hearing sensitivity for the jewel cichlid, Hemichromis bimaculatus was made using neurophysiological techniques to measure sensitivity at various levels of the auditory system and psychophysical techniques to measure whole-system sensitivity. For physiological studies, fish were stimulated by sinusoids generated by a loudspeaker
