Analysis of BAC end sequences of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) using in silico approaches (W046) [PDF]
, 2011 Tilapias are the second most important fish group in aquaculture and a primary source of animal protein for millions of people in developing countries. Over the past years a great effort has been done to increase the genomic tools in tilapia by obtaining

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

Ecological and Mutation‐Order Speciation in Senecio
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Natural selection shapes how new species arise, yet the mechanisms that generate reproductive barriers remain actively debated. Although ecological divergence in contrasting environments and mutation‐order processes in similar environments are often viewed as distinct speciation mechanisms, we show they can occur simultaneously and act as part

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

Unusual Diversity of Sex Chromosomes in African Cichlid Fishes
Genes, 2018 African cichlids display a remarkable assortment of jaw morphologies, pigmentation patterns, and mating behaviors. In addition to this previously documented diversity, recent studies have documented a rich diversity of sex chromosomes within these fishes.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Resource heterogeneity is a widespread phenomenon, as resources are rarely spaced evenly across a landscape. Variation in resource density and distribution can have a myriad of behavioural, ecological, and evolutionary consequences for populations, yet clarifying these effects is still challenging.

Molecular biology and evolution, 2019 Cichlid fishes provide textbook examples of explosive phenotypic diversification and sympatric speciation, thereby making them ideal systems for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying rapid lineage divergence.

ZW and XY Sex Chromosomes Drive Rapid and Distinctive Evolution of Sex‐Biased Gene Expression
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cichlids are a textbook model system of adaptive radiation and a fascinating example of rapid sex chromosome evolution. Yet in these fish, as in most other taxa, the mechanisms causing sex chromosome turnover and the subsequent impact thereof are unknown.

Crater lake cichlids individually specialize along the benthic-limnetic axis [PDF]
, 2014 A common pattern of adaptive diversification in freshwater fishes is the repeated evolution of elongated open water (limnetic) species and high-bodied shore (benthic) species from generalist ancestors.

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 The initial sequencing of 5 cichlid genomes revealed an accumulation of genetic variation, including extensive copy number variation in cichlid lineages particularly those that have undergone dramatic evolutionary radiation.
