Genetic and developmental origins of a unique foraging adaptation in a Lake Malawi cichlid genus

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Biologists have long been captivated by novel traits because they provide insights into both the origin of and constraints on morphological variation. The iconic adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes have led to incredible diversity of form,

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

The root of the East African cichlid radiations

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background For decades cichlid fishes (Perciformes: Cichlidae) of the East African cichlid radiations (Teleostei: Cichlidae) have served as natural experimental subjects for the study of speciation processes and the search for potential speciation key ...

Genomic Insights Into Diversity, Phylogeny, Hybridization and Evolutionary History of Palearctic Fish Genus Rutilus (Leuciscidae)

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Using a widely distributed and frequently hybridising fish (genus Rutilus) in the Palearctic as a model system, we re‐evaluated a series of hypotheses on phylogeny, taxonomy, phylogeography and the role of hybridization in evolutionary history based on the first large‐scale analyses of nuclear SNPs together with mtDNA data obtained from ...

Sulawesi Stream Fish Communities Disconnected From the Sea: Absence of Diadromous and Dominance of Exotic Species

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Barriers can profoundly alter the composition of stream communities. In the tropical island of Sulawesi, streams are inhabited by a diversity of secondary freshwater fishes, mostly diadromous species. Many streams, however, are modified by human activities for various reasons, involving the construction of barriers that impede fish migration ...

Convergence of gut microbiotas in the adaptive radiations of African cichlid fishes

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2017
Ecoevolutionary dynamics of the gut microbiota at the macroscale level, that is, in across-species comparisons, are largely driven by ecological variables and host genotype.

Spatiotemporal Patterns of Gene Expression Associated With Mating Stimuli in the Brain of Female Guppies

open access: yesGenes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2025.
We combine traditional methods with an original network analysis to investigate the spatiotemporal expression patterns of candidate genes across the female guppy brain. We found consistent differences in the expression of these genes triggered by mating stimuli, and used mathematical models to further understand how mating behavior is coordinated in ...
