No evidence for sex chromosomes in natural populations of the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023
Sex determination (SD) is not conserved among teleost fishes and can even differ between populations of the same species. Across the outstandingly species-rich fish family Cichlidae, more and more SD systems are being discovered. Still, the picture of SD

Challenge to the model of lake charr evolution: shallow‐ and deep‐water morphs exist within a small postglacial lake

open access: yesBiological Journal of the Linnean Society, EarlyView., 2016
All examples of lake charr (Salvelinus namaycush) diversity occur within the largest, deepest lakes of North America (i.e. > 2000 km2). We report here Rush Lake (1.3 km2) as the first example of a small lake with two lake charr morphs (lean and huronicus). Morphology, diet, life history, and genetics were examined to demonstrate the existence of morphs

Independent evolution of the specialized pharyngeal jaw apparatus in cichlid and labrid fishes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Fishes in the families Cichlidae and Labridae provide good probable examples of vertebrate adaptive radiations. Their spectacular trophic radiations have been widely assumed to be due to structural key innovation in pharyngeal jaw apparatus ...
