Cichlids

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Color discrimination thresholds in a cichlid fish: Metriaclima benetos
    Daniel Escobar-Camacho, Michaela A. Taylor, Karen L. Cheney, Naomi F. Green, N. Justin Marshall, Karen L. Carleton
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb201160 doi: 10.1242/jeb.201160 Published 3 September 2019

    Summary: Color discrimination thresholds of cichlids can be obtained through visually mediated tasks, enabling investigation of the role of vision in cichlid ecology, sexual selection and speciation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Variable vision in variable environments: the visual system of an invasive cichlid (Cichla monoculus) in Lake Gatun, Panama
    Daniel Escobar-Camacho, Michele E. R. Pierotti, Viktoria Ferenc, Diana M. T. Sharpe, Erica Ramos, Cesar Martins, Karen L. Carleton
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb188300 doi: 10.1242/jeb.188300 Published 18 March 2019

    Summary: Examination of the visual system plasticity of the peacock bass, Cichla monoculus, shows that this species adapts to a changing environment by alternating the use of chromophores A1 and A2, and through differential gene expression in the retina.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hypoxia-induced changes in hemoglobins of Lake Victoria cichlids
    Guido van den Thillart, Inger Wilms, Maaike Nieveen, Roy E. Weber, Frans Witte
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177832 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177832 Published 10 September 2018

    Summary: Four cichlids of the Lake Victoria species flock raised under hypoxia exhibit a remarkable change in isohemoglobin pattern, corresponding with improved hemoglobin O2-binding affinity.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Kinematics of mouthbrooding in Oreochromis niloticus (Cichlidae)
    Sam Van Wassenbergh, Iris Joris, Mathieu Desclée, Hon Jung Liew, Gudrun De Boeck, Dominique Adriaens, Peter Aerts
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1535-1541; doi: 10.1242/jeb.131631

    Highlighted Article: Mouthbrooding cichlids regularly use posterior-to-anterior waves of head expansion and significant inflow through the opercular slits to move the brood anteriorly away from the gills.
