eLifeCichlid fishes inhabiting the East African Great Lakes, Victoria, Malawi, and Tanganyika, are textbook examples of parallel evolution, as they have acquired similar traits independently in each of the three lakes during the process of adaptive radiation.

Selectivity in regeneration of the oculomotor nerve in the cichlid fish, Astronotus ocellatus [PDF]
, 1965 It has long been considered a general rule for nerve regeneration that the reinnervation of skeletal muscle is nonselective. Regenerating nerve fibers are supposed to reconnect with one skeletal muscle as readily as another according to studies covering ...

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]
, 2015 Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.

Food habits of three non-native cichlid fishes in the lowermost Chao Phraya River basin, Thailand
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2019 The food habits of three non-native cichlid fishes, Mayan cichlid (Mayaheros urophthalmus), Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) and Nile tilapia (O. niloticus), in the lowermost Chao Phraya River basin, Thailand, was examined by stomach contents

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cage culture for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Lake Victoria is central to food security and profitable development in East Africa. Nevertheless, viral conditions affect the sustainability of this sector, with significant imbalances in livelihood, trade and aquaculture adaptability.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Conservation and sustainable utilization of Nigerian ornamental fishes [PDF]
, 2005 The paper assessed qualitatively the threat status of nigerian freshwater fishes that are presently being exported and those that have potential in aquarium trade using such criteria as rarity, size at maturity, mode of reproduction, human population ...

Heterokairic Genes and the Eco‐Evo‐Devo of Timing
Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 2, June 2026.Heterokairic genes as the bridge (Heterokairic Pathways?): Heterokairic genes are heterochronic regulators whose activity is modulated by environmental conditions. External cues (e.g., temperature, nutrition, oxygen, density: yellow box) are sensed (yellow arrows) and converted into endocrine and metabolic signals (purple box and arrow into fish's ...
