Current Zoology, 2010 Olfactory cues that indicate predation risk elicit a number of defensive behaviors in fishes, but whether they are sufficient to also induce morphological defenses has received little attention. Cichlids are characterized by a high level of morphological

In search of new brain biomarkers of stress [PDF]
Research Results in Pharmacology, 2021 The aim: of the study was to investigate the level of ghrelin in various brain structures during a stress response in Zebrafish to a predator, to evaluate this indicator as a potential biomarker of stress, and the effect of a benzodiazepine tranquilizer (

Similarities in biological processes can be used to bridge ecology and molecular biology. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2020 Abstract Much of the research in biology aims to understand the origin of diversity. Naturally, ecological diversity was the first object of study, but we now have the necessary tools to probe diversity at molecular scales. The inherent differences in how we study diversity at different scales caused the disciplines of biology to be organized around ...

Larval development of Hypsophrys nicaraguensis (Pisces: Cichlidae) under laboratory conditions
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 The cichlid Hypsophrys nicaraguensis is a popular fish known as butterfly, and despite its widespread use as pets, little is known about its reproductive biology. In order to contribute to this knowledge, the study describes the relevant larval development characteristics, from adult and larval cultures in captivity.

Zootaxa, 2007 Two monotypic Neotropical cichlid genera, Hypsophrys Agassiz 1859 and Neetroplus Günther 1867, are well known but poorly diagnosed. The possession of a single supraneural (versus two for most Middle American species), a strongly rounded snout with a small and slightly subterminal mouth (versus straight snout profiles with terminal mouth) provide ...

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of selective interspecific information use [PDF]
Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 490-503, April 2023., 2023 Recent work has shown that animals frequently use social information from individuals of their own species as well as of other species, yet the consequences of social information use remain poorly understood. Furthermore, information users may be selective in their social information use, deciding from whom and how to use information, but this has been

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 1880-1891, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The visual system of vertebrates has greatly contributed to our understanding of how different molecular mechanisms shape adaptive phenotypic diversity. Extensive work on African cichlid fishes has shown how variation in opsin gene expression mediates diversification as well as convergent evolution in colour vision.
