Biological Diversity and Resilience: Lessons from the Recovery of Cichlid Species in Lake Victoria [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2011 A fundamental feature of the Anthropocene is the inexorable erosion of the self-repairing capacity or adaptive renewal of natural systems because of natural perturbation, exploitation, or management failure.

Possible Involvement of Ghost Introgressions in the Striking Diversity of Vomeronasal Type 1 Receptor Genes in East African Cichlids [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCichlids that have undergone adaptive radiation are genetically close but exhibit extreme ecological and morphological diversity, making them useful for understanding speciation mechanisms.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Cichlids inhabiting the Great Lakes of Africa have radiated extremely rapidly, with Lake Malaŵi harboring some 850 species. This rapid radiation may be linked to the diversity in behaviors, sexual selection, and phenotypic plasticity.

Dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in African cichlid fishes [PDF]
Genome BiologyBackground East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown.

Oca2 targeting using CRISPR/Cas9 in the Malawi cichlid Astatotilapia calliptera
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Identifying genetic loci underlying trait variation provides insights into the mechanisms of diversification, but demonstrating causality and characterizing the role of genetic loci requires testing candidate gene function, often in non-model species ...

The Evolutionary Dynamics of the Mitochondrial tRNA in the Cichlid Fish Family
Biology, 2022 The mitochondrial transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) attract more attention due to their highly dynamic and rapidly evolving nature. The current study aimed to detect and evaluate the dynamics, characteristic patterns, and variations of mitochondrial tRNAs.

Treatment of deep second-degree burns on the abdomen, thighs, and genitalia: use of tilapia skin as a xenograft [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2020 Tilapia skin has a non-infectious microbiota and a morphological structure similar to human skin. Phase II clinical studies, not yet published, have shown promising results in their use for the treatment of burns.

Cichlids and stingrays can add and subtract ‘one’ in the number space from one to five
Scientific Reports, 2022 The numerical understanding of cichlids and stingrays was examined regarding addition and subtraction abilities within the number space of one to five. Experiments were conducted as two-alternative forced-choice experiments, using a delayed matching to ...
