Parasitological Survey of Cichlidae in the Sea-of-Galilee [PDF]

Israeli Journal of Aquaculture - Bamidgeh, 2020
The results of a parasitological survey conducted since January 2012 till January 2014 in the littoral zone of the Sea-of-Galilee are presented. The parasites were identified, and their prevalence, density, and geographic distribution were studied. Wet-preparations were used for detection and identification of the parasites.

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

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 ...

Four new species of Cichlidogyrus (Platyhelminthes, Monopisthocotyla, Dactylogyridae) from Lake Victoria haplochromine cichlid fishes, with the redescription of C. bifurcatus and C. longipenis

Parasite
African cichlids are model systems for evolutionary studies and host-parasite interactions, because of their adaptive radiations and because they harbour many species of monogenean parasites with high host-specificity.

High trophic niche overlap between sympatric peacock basses (Cichliformes: Cichlidae: Cichla): Concordant findings from three dietary analysis methods

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary analysis has contributed to our understanding of animal niches, interspecific interactions, community structure and the flow of matter and energy in food webs. We employed three methods of dietary analysis to estimate trophic niche overlap between two peacock bass species, Cichla cataractae and Cichla ocellaris, across sympatric ...

Axes of visual adaptation in the ecologically diverse family Cichlidae [PDF]

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2020
The family Cichlidae contains approximately 2000 species that live in diverse freshwater habitats including murky lakes, turbid rivers, and clear lakes from both the Old and New Worlds. Their visual systems are similarly diverse and have evolved specific sensitivities that differ along several axes of variation.
