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 ...

Computer simulations on the sympatric speciation modes for the Midas cichlid species complex [PDF]
, 2007 Cichlid fishes are one of the best model system for the study of evolution of the species. Inspired by them, in this paper we simulated the splitting of a single species into two separate ones via random mutations, with both populations living together ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Acta Natura et Scientia, 2022 This study aimed to describe the larval development stage of rusty cichlid, Iodotropheus sprengerae morphologically. The rusty cichlid is a mouth-brooding haplochromine cichlid from Lake Malawi.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

Sex group composition, social interaction, and metabolism in the fish Nile tilapia
Brazilian Journal of BiologyWe tested whether the fish Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a monosex male group spends more energy and displays an agonistic profile, differently from males in male-female groups.

adapt3: Adaptive dynamics and community projection in the R programming language
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Ecologists typically use matrix projection to understand population dynamics. Recently, they have applied matrix projection to analyse communities and evolutionary dynamics. Particularly, matrix community models (MCMs) provide a reductionist, demographic approach to the study of ecological interactions, while adaptive dynamics assess the ...

Opsin expression predicts male nuptial color in threespine stickleback. [PDF]
, 2018 Theoretical models of sexual selection suggest that male courtship signals can evolve through the build-up of genetic correlations between the male signal and female preference.

Trait coevolution and causal inference using generalized dynamic phylogenetic models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods are widely used to study trait coevolution across biological and cultural domains. The most common methods are phylogenetic generalized linear (mixed) models, phylogenetic path analysis, Pagel's ‘discrete’ method and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models. While some frameworks like generalized linear mixed models are quite
