Recent research in the African Great Lakes: fisheries, biodiversity and cichlid evolution [PDF]
The East African Great Lakes are now well known for (1) their fisheries, of vital importance for their rapidly rising riparian human populations, and (2) as biodiversity hotspots with spectacular endemic faunas, of which the flocks of cichlid fishes ...

ABSTRACT Columnaris‐causing bacteria (CCB) represent a group of four Flavobacterium species, previously classified under Flavobacterium columnaris, causing a threatening condition in salmonid farming characterised by cutaneous and gill lesions, commonly referred to as ‘saddleback disease’. A peracute skin disease outbreak with high mortality in rainbow

Protein and amino acid requirements of warm-water fishes: a tool to efficient and low-cost fish feed production in Nigeria [PDF]
Numerous investigations have utilized various semi-purified and purified diets to estimate the protein and amino acid requirements of several temperate fishes. The vast literature on the protein and amino acid requirements of fishes has continued to omit

ABSTRACT Colour polytypism represents an example of phenotypic diversification shaped by genetic divergence and ecological pressures. Poison frogs of the genus Oophaga (Dendrobatidae) are highly polytypic in coloration, making them an ideal system for investigating the genetic and physiological basis of colour variation.

ABSTRACT Sympatric morphs provide valuable systems for studying incipient divergence despite incomplete reproductive isolation. In connected waterbodies with spatially heterogeneous habitats, one or more morphs may form metapopulation structures, generating eco‐evolutionary dynamics unlike those in single lakes.

ABSTRACT Intraspecific competition due to for example, density, has substantial influence on fitness dynamics and life histories, but the underlying physiological mechanisms are often complex and the molecular basis unclear. Further, designing laboratory experiments to measure physiological responses that reflect natural conditions is challenging. Here,

ABSTRACT A major bottleneck to the projected expansion of the aquaculture industry is disease outbreaks caused by bacterial pathogens. Fish diseases caused by Flavobacterium pathogens are persistent in salmonid aquaculture, and treatment is limited to antimicrobials, which contaminate the aquatic environment and promote antimicrobial resistance ...

Development of Primary Cell Cultures from Haplochromine Cichlid Bone-Derived Tissues
Bone is a dynamic tissue with ecological and evolutionary importance, as it can grow and remodel itself in response to mechanical stimuli. In mammals, osteocytes are widely recognised as the central regulators of bone formation and mechanotransduction ...

Rapid adaptive evolution of colour vision in the threespine stickleback radiation. [PDF]
Vision is a sensory modality of fundamental importance for many animals, aiding in foraging, detection of predators and mate choice. Adaptation to local ambient light conditions is thought to be commonplace, and a match between spectral sensitivity and ...
