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).

Tempo and mode of diversification of Lake Tanganyika cichlid fishes [PDF]
, 2008 Understanding the causes of disparities in species diversity across taxonomic groups and regions is a fundamental aim in evolutionary biology. Addressing these questions is difficult because of the need for densely sampled phylogenies and suitable ...

Analysis of the meiotic segregation in intergeneric hybrids of tilapias [PDF]
, 2012 Tilapia species exhibit a large ecological diversity and an important propensity to interspecific hybridisation. This has been shown in the wild and used in aquaculture.

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 ...

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.
