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

BMC 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 ...

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of <i>Gyrodactylus nigeri</i> (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The fish Yunnanilus niger is the host of Gyrodactylus nigeri. The mitochondrial genome of G. nigeri is 14,903 bp in length. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that this species belonged to the genus Gyrodactylus and Gyrodactylidae forms an independent monophyletic clade within Gyrodactylidea.

Molecular and fossil evidence place the origin of cichlid fishes long after Gondwanan rifting. [PDF]

, 2013
Cichlid fishes are a key model system in the study of adaptive radiation, speciation and evolutionary developmental biology. More than 1600 cichlid species inhabit freshwater and marginal marine environments across several southern landmasses.
