Evolution of novelty in the cichlid dentition
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2006AbstractThe shape of teeth occupies a central position in various biological disciplines, from paleo‐ecology to molecular biology to cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Despite a long tradition of study in mammals, important questions remain regarding the genetic and developmental basis of differences in tooth shape.

Sound Production by Cichlid Fishes
Science, 1965Adults of three cichlid species, Hemichromis bimaculatus Gill, Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum (Günther), and Pterophyllum sp., produce sounds of apparent biological significance. Both sexes of H.

The Cichlidae, one of the most diverse families of vertebrates, is the subject of the volume entitled “The Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of Cichlid Fishes” which we introduce here. Cichlids are major members of their communities. They are socioeconomically important in fisheries, aquaculture, and the ornamental trade.

Hybridization and speciation among cichlids: the case of 'Wesafu', an ecotype cichlid
2010Fishes of the family Cichlidae are known for spectacular adaptive radiation and therefore serve as a model for evolutionary and ecological studies. They are highly speciated due to hybridization that frequently occur in the wild. The existence of an ecotype cichlid, ’wesafu’ in Epe Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria appears to be the result of such hybridization ...

Respiratory Ecology of Cichlids
2021For fishes, the availability of dissolved oxygen (DO) can affect performance and fitness traits and influence distribution patterns. Hypoxia occurs naturally in habitats characterized by low mixing and/or light limitation such as dense wetlands and profundal zones of deep lakes.

Chemical communication in cichlids: A mini-review
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2015The family Cichlidae is well-known for pair-formation, parental care, territoriality, elaborate courtship and social organization. Do cichlids use chemical communication to mediate any of these behaviours? Early studies suggest that parent cichlids can discriminate between conspecific and heterospecific wrigglers (but not eggs) using olfactory cues ...

Visualizing Speciation in Artificial Cichlid Fish
Artificial Life, 2006The Cichlid Speciation Project (CSP) is an ALife simulation system for investigating open problems in the speciation of African cichlid fish. The CSP can be used to perform a wide range of experiments that show that speciation is a natural consequence of certain biological systems. A visualization system capable of extracting the history of speciation
