Chromosome evolution in African cichlid fish: contributions from the physical mapping of repeated DNAs.
Cichlid fishes have been the subject of increasing scientific interest because of their rapid adaptive radiation that has led to extensive ecological diversity and because of their enormous importance to tropical and subtropical aquaculture. To further understanding of chromosome evolution among cichlid species, we have comparatively mapped the SATA satellite DNA, the transposable element ROn-1...
متن کاملMulti-Agent Simulations of Evolution and Speciation in Cichlid Fish
An agent-based simulation has been built to model speciation in cichlid fishes in the Great Lakes of Africa. A real natural system has been chosen as the target of simulation, rather than a generalised system. This focusses research towards open problems in cichlid biology, and provides a library of field research to drive the design and parametrisation of the simulation. Visualisations of the ...
متن کاملMonogeneans of West African Cichlid Fish: Evolution and Cophylogenetic Interactions
The goals of this paper were to investigate phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns of cichlid fish from West Africa and their Cichlidogyrus and Scutogyrus monogenean parasites, to uncover the presence of host-parasite cospeciation and to assess the level of morphological adaptation in parasites. This required the following steps, each one representing specific objectives of this paper: (1) to b...
متن کاملEvolution of colour patterns in East African cichlid ®sh
With between 2000 and 2500 known species, cichlids (Teleostei, Cichlidae) are probably the most species rich family of vertebrate animals. With over 1500 species, more than half of the world's cichlid species live in the African Great Lakes, where several endemic species ̄ocks evolved in parallel. Speciation rates in some of these ̄ocks are unrivaled among vertebrates and they are among the most ...
