Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2018 The rapid rise of phenotypic and ecological diversity in independent lake‐dwelling groups of cichlids is emblematic of the East African Great Lakes. In this study, we show that similar ecologically based diversification has occurred in pike cichlids ...

Developing and adult reef fish show rapid light‐induced plasticity in their visual system
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 167-181, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The visual capabilities of fish are optimized for their ecology and light environment over evolutionary time. Similarly, fish vision can adapt to regular changes in light conditions within their lifetime, e.g., ontogenetic or seasonal variation.

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2004 Feeding selectivity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) juveniles (9.3-20.9 g) to four aquatic macrophyte species and tilapia growth were studied in 4 consecutive experiments. Plant diet was provided to 8 tanks containing 20 fishes for 5 days. The

PLoS Genetics, 2016 The formation of species in the absence of geographic barriers (i.e. sympatric speciation) remains one of the most controversial topics in evolutionary biology.

Molecular mechanisms of Eda‐mediated adaptation to freshwater in threespine stickleback
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract A main goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic basis of adaptive evolution. Although the genes that underlie some adaptive phenotypes are now known, the molecular pathways and regulatory mechanisms mediating the phenotypic effects of those genes often remain a black box.

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.

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2012 The Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, and the Congo Tilapia, Tilapia rendalli, are important members of the African cichlids, and have been introduced to many Brazilian lakes and reservoirs.

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 ...

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.
