Structural manipulations of a shelter resource reveal underlying preference functions in a shell-dwelling cichlid fish

TL;DR: This work shows that a niche-constructing, shelldwelling cichlid fish, Neolamprologus multifasciatus, has strong open-ended preference functions for exaggerated shell replicas, and presents an experimental paradigm that uses 3D-scanning, modelling, and printing to create replicas of structures that differ with respect to key structural attributes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics reveals an outstanding sex chromosome diversity in cichlid fishes driven by genomic novelties and convergent evolution
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards the phylogenetic placement of the enigmatic African genus Prolabeops Schultz, 1941
Frederic D B Schedel,Zuzana Musilová,Adrian Indermaur,Arnold Roger Bitja-Nyom,Walter Salzburger,Ulrich K. Schliewen +5 more
TL;DR: The large-scale phylogenetic analysis was based on an alignment including all mitochondrial protein coding genes of 902 specimens representing ~ 899 cypriniform species, and Prolabeops was clearly recovered within the African Smiliogastrinae, forming a weakly supported clade together with Enteromius jae, enteromius hulstaerti and Barboides gracilis.

Exon-based Phylogenomics and the Relationships of African Cichlid Fishes: Tackling the Challenges of Reconstructing Phylogenies with Repeated Rapid Radiations
Viviana Astudillo-Clavijo,Melanie L. J. Stiassny,Katriina L. Ilves,Zuzana Musilová,Walter Salzburger,Hernán López-Fernández +5 more
TL;DR: This work investigates relationships of Pseudocrenilabrinae and its close relatives while accounting for multiple sources of genetic discordance using species tree and hybrid network analyses with hundreds of single-copy exons, and provides robust hypotheses for most higher-level relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
