Brain Transcriptomics Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Cave Adaptation in Triplophysa Loaches
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study compares brain transcriptomes of cave (Triplophysa shilinensis) and surface‐dwelling (T. xiangshuingensis) loaches to uncover molecular adaptations to subterranean life. We identified widespread gene down‐regulation in the cave ecotype, with enriched pathways in energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, sensory perception, and body coloration ...

An introgressed wing pattern acts as a mating cue. [PDF]
, 2015 Heliconius butterflies provide good examples of both homoploid hybrid speciation and ecological speciation. In particular, examples of adaptive introgression have been detected among the subspecies of Heliconius timareta, which acquired red color pattern

Evolutionary divergence of novel open reading frames in cichlids speciation
Scientific Reports, 2020 Novel open reading frames (nORFs) with coding potential may arise from noncoding DNA. Not much is known about their emergence, functional role, fixation in a population or contribution to adaptive radiation.

Molecular mechanisms underlying nuchal hump formation in dolphin cichlid, Cyrtocara moorii
Scientific Reports, 2019 East African cichlid fishes represent a model to tackle adaptive changes and their connection to rapid speciation and ecological distinction. In comparison to bony craniofacial tissues, adaptive morphogenesis of soft tissues has been rarely addressed ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2641-2659, December 2025.ABSTRACT The environment experienced by a mother influences offspring phenotype through maternal effects, which can have significant adaptive benefits for both the mother and the offspring. However, the ways in which maternal environments influence offspring development are extremely diverse, and empirical studies using an outcome‐based approach often ...

Protein and amino acid requirements of warm-water fishes: a tool to efficient and low-cost fish feed production in Nigeria [PDF]
, 1993 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

Non‐breeding social behaviour as an investment in reducing future territoriality costs
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2726-2737, December 2025.ABSTRACT Territoriality is costly, and animals should adopt strategies to cope with these costs. Seasonal territoriality for breeding – a common strategy in many groups of animals – can reduce costs during the non‐breeding season but requires establishing new territories every breeding season.

Computer simulations on the sympatric speciation modes for the Midas cichlid species complex [PDF]
, 2007 Cichlid fishes are one of the best model system for the study of evolution of the species. Inspired by them, in this paper we simulated the splitting of a single species into two separate ones via random mutations, with both populations living together ...
