Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Animal body markings such as spots, stripes and patterns play important roles in camouflage and visual communication. This study investigated phenotypic plasticity in the spot patterns of spotted grunter Pomadasys commersonnii, an estuarine‐dependent haemulid species.

Threat-sensitive responses to disturbance cues in juvenile convict cichlids and rainbow trout [PDF]
, 2009 We conducted laboratory experiments (1) to confirm the existence of a non-injury released disturbance cue in juvenile convict cichlids and rainbow trout, and (2) to determine if cichlids and trout exhibit a graded threat-sensitive antipredator response ...

Evolution of regulatory networks associated with traits under selection in cichlids
Genome Biology, 2021 Background Seminal studies of vertebrate protein evolution speculated that gene regulatory changes can drive anatomical innovations. However, very little is known about gene regulatory network (GRN) evolution associated with phenotypic effect across ...

Social context shapes acoustic signalling in the territorial damselfish Stegastes fuscus
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Acoustic communication plays an important role in social interactions in reef fishes, but how signals vary with behavioural context remains poorly understood for many species. We characterised the acoustic repertoire of the Brazilian damselfish Stegastes fuscus using synchronised underwater audio–video recordings and tested how sound features ...

Diversification and Biogeography of Neotropical Cichlids [PDF]
, 2015 The diversity of fishes in the Neotropics consists of nearly 6,000 species, approximately 10% of all vertebrate species on the planet. Evolutionary patterns and processes in fishes are often quite distinct from terrestrial biota, and the study of ...

Serial monogamy benefits both sexes in the biparental convict cichlid [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Monogamy can be either long-term or serial, with new pairs formed with each breeding bout. Costs and benefits are associated with each strategy. Because biparental convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) typically switch mates, exhibiting serial ...

Convict cichlids benefit from close proximity to another species of cichlid fish [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2008 The coexistence of species with overlapping resource use is often thought to involve only negative fitness effects as a consequence of interspecific competition. Furthermore, the scarce empirical research on positive species interactions has predominantly focused on sessile organisms.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT A comprehensive understanding of life history is vital to successful species conservation and management. When different life history stages are accompanied by considerable morphological or cryptic variation, such as the egg and larval phases exhibited by most fishes, genomic tools are essential for identifying species so that early‐life ...

A genomic glimpse of B chromosomes in cichlids
, 2021 Background: B chromosomes (Bs) are extra karyotype elements in addition to A chromosomes and are found in all major eukaryotic taxa. Among hundreds of investigated species, cichlid fishes have emerged as an interesting group of model and have contributed
