Gene coexpression networks reveal molecular interactions underlying cichlid jaw modularity
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background The oral and pharyngeal jaw of cichlid fishes are a classic example of evolutionary modularity as their functional decoupling boosted trophic diversification and contributed to the success of cichlid adaptive radiations. Most studies until now

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Cichlids are a prime model system in evolutionary research and several of the most prominent examples of adaptive radiations are found in the East African Lakes Tanganyika, Malawi and Victoria, all part of the East African cichlid radiation ...

The root of the East African cichlid radiations [PDF]
BMC 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 ...

Hearing in the jewel cichlid [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1982 An in-depth analysis of hearing sensitivity for the jewel cichlid, Hemichromis bimaculatus was made using neurophysiological techniques to measure sensitivity at various levels of the auditory system and psychophysical techniques to measure whole-system sensitivity. For physiological studies, fish were stimulated by sinusoids generated by a loudspeaker

The Early Development of the Blue-Eye Cichlid, Cryptoheros spilurus (Cichliformes: Cichlidae). [PDF]
Evol DevWe document the early development of Cryptoheros spilurus, highlighting rapid cranial differentiation, sensory organ formation, and fin development. Ontogenetic allometry and ultrastructural traits reveal functional adaptations for early foraging and locomotion, offering insights into ecological success and the developmental basis of cichlid ...

Nature Communications, 2022 Polymorphisms have fascinated biologists for a long time, but their genetic underpinnings often remain elusive. Here, we aim to uncover the genetic basis of the gold/dark polymorphism that is eponymous of Midas cichlid fish (Amphilophus spp.) adaptive ...

Hydrobiologia, 2021 Sex determination systems are highly conserved among most vertebrates with genetic sex determination, but can be variable and evolve rapidly in some. Here, we study sex determination in a clade with exceptionally high sex chromosome turnover rates.
