Within-guild dietary discrimination from 3-D textural analysis of tooth microwear in insectivorous mammals [PDF]

, 2013
Resource exploitation and competition for food are important selective pressures in animal evolution. A number of recent investigations have focused on linkages between diversification, trophic morphology and diet in bats, partly because their roosting ...

Invasive cichlids (Teleostei: Cichliformes) in the Amacuzac River, Mexico: Implications for the behavioral ecology of the native Mexican mojarra Amphilophus istlanus

Water Biology and Security, 2023
The introduction of species is a leading cause of biodiversity loss and habitat alteration. Several species have invaded Mexican freshwater ecosystems, adversely affecting native fishes.

Early social complexity influences social behaviour but not social trajectories in a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish

Royal Society Open Science
Social competence—defined as the ability to optimize social behaviour according to available social information—can be influenced by the social environment experienced in early life.

Invertebrate communities in northern Lake Victoria, with reference to their potential for fishery production [PDF]

, 1999
The zooplankton and macrobenthic communities of Lake Victoria were sampled by lift net and Ponar grab, respectively. The zooplankton comprised copepods and cladocerans, rotifers and aquatic insect larvae. Most taxa exhibited wide distribution in the lake,

Lineage-Specific Expansion of Vomeronasal Type 2 Receptor-Like (OlfC) Genes in Cichlids May Contribute to Diversification of Amino Acid Detection Systems

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2013
Fish use olfaction to sense a variety of nonvolatile chemical signals in water. However, the evolutionary importance of olfaction in species-rich cichlids is controversial.

Distribution of Oreochromis niloticus (L.) in the Ugandan waters of Lake Victoria [PDF]

, 1999
The Lake Victoria fish fauna was dominated by cichlids before the establishment of the exotic species Oreochromis niloticus (L.) and Latus niloticus (L.).

The diversity of male nuptial coloration leads to species diversity in Lake Victoria cichlids.

Genes & Genetic Systems, 2013
The amazing coloration shown by diverse cichlid fish not only fascinates aquarium keepers, but also receives great attention from biologists interested in speciation because of its recently-revealed role in their adaptive radiation in an African lake. We
