Extremely Small Clutch Size and Juvenile Survival in a Social Cichlid of an African Great Lake. [PDF]
Ecol EvolNeolamprologus buescheri, a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish endemic to Lake Tanganyika, exhibits one of the slowest life histories documented among teleost fish. With remarkably small clutch sizes ranging from one to seven eggs (median = 3) and exceptionally high juvenile survival rates of over 50% within two months, this species deviates ...

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

The Early Development of the Blue-Eye Cichlid, Cryptoheros spilurus (Cichliformes: Cichlidae). [PDF]
Evol DevWe document the early development of Cryptoheros spilurus, highlighting rapid cranial differentiation, sensory organ formation, and fin development. Ontogenetic allometry and ultrastructural traits reveal functional adaptations for early foraging and locomotion, offering insights into ecological success and the developmental basis of cichlid ...

No evidence for sex chromosomes in natural populations of the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni
G3: 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
