15 صفحه اولIntegration and evolution of the cichlid mandible: the molecular basis of alternate feeding strategies.
African cichlid fishes have repeatedly evolved highly specialized modes of feeding through adaptations of their oral jaws. Here, we explore the molecular genetic basis of the opening and closing lever mechanisms of the cichlid lower jaw, which have traditionally been used to describe the mechanics of feeding behavior in bony fishes. Quantitative genetic analyses demonstrate that the opening and...
متن کاملCichlid Behavioral Ecology: Streams of Costa Rica
Convict cichlids, indigenous to Central America, are a common study organisms in the fields of ethology, behavioral endocrinology, and evolutionary biology. A clear understanding of their behavior within their natural environment is critical to understanding the evolutionary history of this species. Convict cichlids are monogamous bi-parental fish which live in a world of enormous predation pre...
متن کاملReplicated divergence in cichlid radiations mirrors a major vertebrate innovation.
Decoupling of the upper jaw bones--jaw kinesis--is a distinctive feature of the ray-finned fishes, but it is not clear how the innovation is related to the extraordinary diversity of feeding behaviours and feeding ecology in this group. We address this issue in a lineage of ray-finned fishes that is well known for its ecological and functional diversity--African rift lake cichlids. We sequenced...
متن کاملEnzyme activities of pharyngeal jaw musculature in the cichlid Tramitichromis intermedius: implications for sound production in cichlid fishes.
Owing to its high degree of complexity and plasticity, the cichlid pharyngeal jaw apparatus has often been described as a key evolutionary innovation. The majority of studies investigating pharyngeal muscle behavior and function have done so in the context of feeding. Analysis of enzyme activities (citrate synthase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and L-lactate dehydrogenase) of pharyngeal musc...
