Modular genetic control of social status in a cichlid fish
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Social rank along a hierarchy determines physiological state and behavioral performance. A ubiquitous feature of social hierarchies is the communication of rank through nonphysical signaling systems (e.g., coloration) and aggression, traits ...

Foraging environment determines the genetic architecture and evolutionary potential of trophic morphology in cichlid fishes [PDF]
, 2016 Phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to change their phenotype in response to shifts in the environment. While a central topic in current discussions of evolutionary potential, a comprehensive understanding of the genetic underpinnings of plasticity is

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

Hybridisation generates a hopeful monster: a hermaphroditic selfing cichlid [PDF]
, 2016 Compared to other phylogenetic groups, self-fertilization (selfing) is exceedingly rare in vertebrates and is known to occur only in one small clade of fishes.

On the measurement of ecological novelty: scale-eating pupfish are separated by 168 my from other scale-eating fishes. [PDF]
, 2013 The colonization of new adaptive zones is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of adaptive radiation. However, the adoption of novel resources during this process is rarely distinguished from phenotypic change because morphology is a common proxy ...

Predator avoidance in extremophile fish [PDF]
, 2013 Extreme habitats are often characterized by reduced predation pressures, thus representing refuges for the inhabiting species. The present study was designed to investigate predator avoidance of extremophile populations of Poecilia mexicana and P ...

Cytoarchitecture of a Cichlid Fish Telencephalon [PDF]
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2009 Although the telencephalon of ray-finned fishes has garnered considerable attention from comparative neuroanatomists, detailed descriptions of telencephalic organization are available for only a few species. This necessarily limits our understanding of telencephalic evolution, particularly in light of the extraordinary diversity of ray-finned fishes ...

Effects of different sampling intervals on apparent protein and energy digestibility of common feed ingredients by juvenile oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus)=Diferentes intervalos de coleta na determinação da digestibilidade aparente da proteína e da energia de ingredientes comuns para o apaiari (Astronotus ocellatus) [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2012 This study evaluated the apparent protein and energy digestibility of common feed ingredients (soybean meal, fish meal, wheat meal and corn) by juvenile oscars using two different sampling intervals (30 min. and 12h).
