Lateralization of lateral displays in convict cichlids [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2011
We examine lateralization of lateral displays in convict cichlids, Amatitlania nigrofasciata , and show a population level preference for showing the right side. This enables contesting pairs of fish to align in a head-to-tail posture, facilitating other activities.

Evolution of novelty in the cichlid dentition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2006
AbstractThe shape of teeth occupies a central position in various biological disciplines, from paleo‐ecology to molecular biology to cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Despite a long tradition of study in mammals, important questions remain regarding the genetic and developmental basis of differences in tooth shape.

Hybridization and speciation among cichlids: the case of 'Wesafu', an ecotype cichlid

2010
Fishes of the family Cichlidae are known for spectacular adaptive radiation and therefore serve as a model for evolutionary and ecological studies. They are highly speciated due to hybridization that frequently occur in the wild. The existence of an ecotype cichlid, ’wesafu’ in Epe Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria appears to be the result of such hybridization ...

Chance, Choice, and Cichlids

2021
The Cichlidae, one of the most diverse families of vertebrates, is the subject of the volume entitled “The Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of Cichlid Fishes” which we introduce here. Cichlids are major members of their communities. They are socioeconomically important in fisheries, aquaculture, and the ornamental trade.

Chemical communication in cichlids: A mini-review

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2015
The family Cichlidae is well-known for pair-formation, parental care, territoriality, elaborate courtship and social organization. Do cichlids use chemical communication to mediate any of these behaviours? Early studies suggest that parent cichlids can discriminate between conspecific and heterospecific wrigglers (but not eggs) using olfactory cues ...

Respiratory Ecology of Cichlids

2021
For fishes, the availability of dissolved oxygen (DO) can affect performance and fitness traits and influence distribution patterns. Hypoxia occurs naturally in habitats characterized by low mixing and/or light limitation such as dense wetlands and profundal zones of deep lakes.
