Biological Diversity and Resilience: Lessons from the Recovery of Cichlid Species in Lake Victoria
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.

Lateral line morphology, sensory perception and collective behaviour in African cichlid fish
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The lateral line system of fishes provides cues for collective behaviour, such as shoaling, but it remains unclear how anatomical lateral line variation leads to behavioural differences among species.

The Midas cichlid species complex: incipient sympatric speciation in Nicaraguan cichlid fishes? [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2004 AbstractSympatric speciation is a contentious concept, although theoretical models as well as empirical evidence support its relevance in evolutionary biology. The Midas cichlid species complex (Amphilophus citrinellus,labiatus,zaliosus) from several crater lakes in Nicaragua fits several of the key characteristics of a sympatric speciation model.

Produce Male Cichlids Only [PDF]
Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research, 2021 The Nile tilapia is one of the most important fresh water in world aquaculture [1] it is wildly cultured in many trobical and sub tribical countries of the world [2] the major concern for tilapia aquaculture is excessive reproduction and results small size of fish produced...

Biology Open, 2019 Information transfer between individuals typically depends on multiple sensory channels. Yet, how multi-sensory inputs shape adaptive behavioural decisions remains largely unexplored.

Nile tilapia skin xenograft versus silver-based hydrofiber dressing in the treatment of second-degree burns in adults [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2019 Introduction: Recent studies have suggested the use of biological dressings made of aquatic animals as biomaterials in regenerative medicine since they demonstrate good adherence to the wound bed.

Strong biomechanical relationships bias the tempo and mode of morphological evolution
eLife, 2018 The influence of biomechanics on the tempo and mode of morphological evolution is unresolved, yet is fundamental to organismal diversification. Across multiple four-bar linkage systems in animals, we discovered that rapid morphological evolution (tempo ...

Tit for Tat in the Dear Enemy Relationship Between Territorial Females of a Cichlid Fish
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Many territorial animals reduce aggression toward their neighbors once territorial boundaries are established. This relationship is called the dear enemy phenomenon, hypothetically based on a conditional strategy like tit for tat (TFT).

Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2015 Disease is an important factor in fisheries, affecting both wild and cultured species. Using standard parasitological techniques we determined the prevalence, mean intensity and abundance of endoparasites from 250 specimens of two cichlids, Oreochromis ...

Social deprivation affects cooperative predator inspection in a cichlid fish [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The social environment individuals are exposed to during ontogeny shapes social skills and social competence in group-living animals. Consequently, social deprivation has serious effects on behaviour and development in animals but little is known about ...
