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

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A new species of ghost electric knifefish, Porotergus sambaibensis sp. nov., is described from the Javaés River, a tributary of the Araguaia River in Brazil. The new species was assigned to the genus Porotergus as the closest relative to Porotergus gimbeli through maximum likelihood reconstruction of a concatenated multilocus dataset ...

Carotenoid-based coloration in cichlid fishes
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2014 Animal colors play important roles in communication, ecological interactions and speciation. Carotenoid pigments are responsible for many yellow, orange and red hues in animals. Whereas extensive knowledge on the proximate mechanisms underlying carotenoid coloration in birds has led to testable hypotheses on avian color evolution and signaling, much ...

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 ...

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Vocal signalling is an important mode of communication in fishes. The two species of lionfish in the Pterois complex, the Indo‐Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the red lionfish (Pterois miles), are both known to produce different types of sounds with sonic muscles attached to the swimbladder.
