Uma nova espécie de Satanoperca é descrita do rio Araguaia, bacia do rio Tocantins,
Brasil, e registros não-nativos estão disponíveis para a bacia do alto rio Paraná. Pode ser …

The visual system in the colorful cichlid fishes from the African great lakes is believed to be
important for their adaptive radiations. However, few studies have attempted to compare the …

Neotropical cichlids exhibit great diversity of morphological traits associated with feeding,
locomotion, and habitat use. We examined the relationship between functional traits and diet …

The genus Vieja represents a group of heroine cichlids (Teleostei: Cichlidae) distributed on
the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of North and Central America from southern Mexico to …

In recent years great strides have been made for improving our understanding of the
evolutionary relationships among neotropical cichlids, particularly within the clade Heroini …

Abstract The Trinidadian pike cichlid (Crenicichla frenata) is a major predator of the guppy
(Poecilia reticulata), a model system for visual ecology research, and visual predation by the …

Cichlid fishes (family C ichlidae) are models for evolutionary and ecological research.
Massively parallel sequencing approaches have been successfully applied to study …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the post-transcriptional control of messenger RNA
(mRNA). These miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks are present in nearly all organisms and …

Factors ranging from ecological opportunity to genome composition might explain why only
some lineages form adaptive radiations. While being rare, particular systems can provide …

Background Cichlid fishes are classic examples of adaptive radiation because of their
putative tendency to explosively diversify after invading novel environments. To examine …
