Most fish rely primarily on their vision to find prey to feed upon, but a University of Rhode Island biologist and her colleagues have demonstrated that a group of African cichlids feeds by using its ...

Scientists show the extraordinary diversity of cichlid fish in Africa’s Lake Victoria was made possible by ‘genetic recycling’ - repeated cycles of new species appearing and rapidly adapting to ...

Researchers have found that chunks of "flipped" DNA can help fish quickly adapt to new habitats and evolve into new species, acting as evolutionary "superchargers." In the face of threats from other ...

A pair of researchers at Central Michigan University has found that cichlid fish that brood their young in their mouths eat up to 40% of their offspring. For their paper published in the journal ...

Fish viewed digital models with unfamiliar fish faces longer and from a further distance than models with familiar faces, according to a new study. Fish viewed digital models with unfamiliar fish ...

Cichlid fishes, renowned for their extraordinary speciation and adaptive radiation, provide an exceptional framework to explore evolutionary dynamics, particularly through the study of their parasites ...
