Genome editing in East African cichlids and tilapias: state-of-the-art and future directions
Open Biology, 2023 African cichlid fishes of the Cichlidae family are a group of teleosts important for aquaculture and research. A thriving research community is particularly interested in the cichlid radiations of the East African Great Lakes. One key goal is to pinpoint

Convergence and plasticity in the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes [PDF]
, 2013 Ever since Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace (1858) propelled our understanding about the importance of natural selection in the transformation of species, researchers endeavoured to use this intellectual foundation to explain larger patterns of ...

Comparative ecology and phylogeography in east African cichild fishes [PDF]
, 2014 Since almost two decades speciation outbursts, so-called adaptive radiations, have been put forward as a major reason for a large portion of the bio-diversity we see today.

The genetics of sexual development in East African cichlid fishes [PDF]
, 2015 Sexual development leads to the formation of males and females. This process can be controlled genetically, environmentally or by a combination thereof. Genetic sex determination is based on single- or polygenic actions, either linked to sex chromosomes ...

The opsin genes of amazonian cichlids [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractVision is a critical sense for organismal survival with visual sensitivities strongly shaped by the environment. Some freshwater fishes with a Gondwanan origin are distributed in both South American rivers including the Amazon and African rivers and lakes. These different habitats likely required adaptations to murky and clear environments.

Microsatellites Cross-Species Amplification across Some African Cichlids [PDF]
, 2012 The transfer of the genomic resources developed in the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, to other Tilapiines sensu lato and African cichlid would provide new possibilities to study this amazing group from genetics, ecology, evolution, aquaculture, and

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Cichlids inhabiting the Great Lakes of Africa have radiated extremely rapidly, with Lake Malaŵi harboring some 850 species. This rapid radiation may be linked to the diversity in behaviors, sexual selection, and phenotypic plasticity.
