Evolutionary convergence in Neotropical cichlids and Nearctic centrarchids: evidence from morphology, diet, and stable isotope analysis

open access: yes, 2013
Despite divergent evolutionary histories, Neotropical cichlids (Cichlidae) and Nearctic sunfishes (Centrarchidae) appear to have similar functional morphotypes and occupy similar ecological niches.

A high-resolution map of the Nile tilapia genome: a resource for studying cichlids and other percomorphs

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
BackgroundThe Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the second most farmed fish species worldwide. It is also an important model for studies of fish physiology, particularly because of its broad tolerance to an array of environments. It is a good model

A novel apparatus for studying fish cognition in the wild

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 939-948, May 2025.
Abstract Fish show a huge variation of ecological, anatomical and behavioural traits, which makes them prime subjects for studying behaviour, cognition and their evolution. Lab‐based studies allow a controlled examination of some of the mechanisms underpinning cognition and have yielded many insights into fish cognitive abilities.

The Impact of the Geologic History and Paleoclimate on the Diversification of East African Cichlids

open access: yesInternational Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2012
The cichlid fishes of the East African Great Lakes are the largest extant vertebrate radiation identified to date. These lakes and their surrounding waters support over 2,000 species of cichlid fish, many of which are descended from a single common ...

Species delimitation and molecular dating of southern African Tetramesa (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): An understudied microhymenopteran group

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The genus Tetramesa Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) comprises over 200 species of herbivorous wasps that feed exclusively on grasses. Recent field surveys in South Africa for grass biological control programs have uncovered a large diversity of potential Tetramesa on African grasses.

Non‐Lethally Produced Chemical Risk Cues Elicit Antipredator Responses in a Common Canadian Minnow

open access: yesEthology, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Predation risk exerts significant pressure on the survival of prey species and has many indirect impacts on their habitat use, energy allocation, and community dynamics. Prey must consistently assess their surroundings by using multiple information sources to monitor predation risk and respond accordingly.
