Introduced predator elicits deficient brood defence behaviour in a crater lake fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Introduced species represent one of the most serious global threats to biodiversity. In this field-based study, we assessed behavioural responses of brood tending cichlid fish to an invasive predator of their offspring.

Animal Microbiome, 2020 Background The extent to which deterministic rather than stochastic processes guide gut bacteria co-existence and ultimately their assembling into a community remains largely unknown.

The Midas cichlid species complex: incipient sympatric speciation in Nicaraguan cichlid fishes? [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2004 AbstractSympatric speciation is a contentious concept, although theoretical models as well as empirical evidence support its relevance in evolutionary biology. The Midas cichlid species complex (Amphilophus citrinellus,labiatus,zaliosus) from several crater lakes in Nicaragua fits several of the key characteristics of a sympatric speciation model.

Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2016 Coptodon walteri Thys van den Audenaerde 1968, an endemic cichlid of Ivory Coast and Liberia, is assessed as Near Threatened due to fishing pressure and loss of habitats, and aquatic pollution as a result of extensive clandestine gold mining in the bed ...

Subordinate Fish Mediate Aggressiveness Using Recent Contest Information
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Memorizing dominance relationships can help animals avoid unwinnable subsequent contests. However, when competitive ability changes over time—for example, as a function of condition—it may be adaptive to “forget” these dominance relationships and for ...

Evolution: Cichlid Models on the Runaway to Speciation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 Rapid speciation has fascinated biologists for a long time. A recent study shows that ecological opportunity and sex-biased color differences increase the likelihood of speciation in African cichlid fishes.

Microtomographic investigation of a large corpus of cichlids
PLOS ONE, 2023 AbstractA large collection of cichlids (N=133) from Lake Victoria in Africa spanning a length range of 6 to 18 cm was nondestructively imaged using micro-computed tomography. We describe our method to efficiently obtain three-dimensional tomographic datasets of the oral and pharyngeal jaws and the whole skull of these fishes for accurately describing ...

Mapping epigenetic divergence in the massive radiation of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes
Nature Communications, 2020 Epigenetic variation modulates gene expression and can be heritable. However, knowledge of the contribution of epigenetic divergence to adaptive diversification in nature remains limited.

Movement of transposable elements contributes to cichlid diversity
bioRxiv, 2020 African cichlid fishes are a prime model for studying the mechanisms of speciation. Despite the development of extensive genomic resources, it has been difficult to determine which sources of genetic variation are responsible for variation in cichlid ...
