Cytoarchitecture of a Cichlid Fish Telencephalon [PDF]
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2009 Although the telencephalon of ray-finned fishes has garnered considerable attention from comparative neuroanatomists, detailed descriptions of telencephalic organization are available for only a few species. This necessarily limits our understanding of telencephalic evolution, particularly in light of the extraordinary diversity of ray-finned fishes ...

Elaboration, development, and installation of the first animal skin bank in Brazil for the treatment of burns and wounds [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2019 Introduction: The production and distribution of human skin by Brazilian skin banks is insufficient to meet the country's demand, supplying less than 1% of the need for treating burn victims.

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.

EvoDevo, 2023 AbstractCichlid fishes are a very diverse and species-rich family of teleost fishes that inhabit lakes and rivers of India, Africa, and South and Central America. Research has largely focused on East African cichlids of the Rift Lakes Tanganyika, Malawi, and Victoria that constitute the biodiversity hotspots of cichlid fishes. Here, we give an overview

Hybrid Breakdown in Cichlid Fish
PLOS ONE, 2015 Studies from a wide diversity of taxa have shown a negative relationship between genetic compatibility and the divergence time of hybridizing genomes. Theory predicts the main breakdown of fitness to happen after the F1 hybrid generation, when heterosis subsides and recessive allelic (Dobzhansky-Muller) incompatibilities are increasingly unmasked.

Sensory Drive in Cichlid Speciation [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2006 The role of selection in speciation is a central yet poorly understood problem in evolutionary biology. The rapid radiations of extremely colorful cichlid fish in African lakes have fueled the hypothesis that sexual selection can drive species divergence without geographical isolation.

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.

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 ...

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.

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).
