Female cichlids attack and avoid-but will still mate with-androgen receptor mutant males that lack male-typical body coloration

The paper investigates female cichlid mating behaviors by testing AR mutant males lacking coloration, finding aggression but mating occurs regardless of coloration.

A phylogenetics-based nomenclature system for steroid receptors in teleost fishes

The paper proposes a phylogenetics-based nomenclature system for steroid receptors in teleost fishes to address inconsistencies in naming and improve understanding of receptor paralogs.

Control of testes mass by androgen receptor paralogs in a cichlid

This study investigates the role of androgen receptor paralogs in testes development in cichlid fish, finding that AR{beta} promotes testes growth while AR may cause regression.

A behavioral logic underlying aggression in an African cichlid fish

This study investigates how relative size differences between male African cichlid fish influence their aggressive behaviors during territorial disputes.

Modular genetic control of social status in a cichlid fish

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to show that two androgen receptor paralogs, ARα and ARβ, control distinct aspects of social status in A. burtoni, revealing modular genetic control of social behavior and physiology.

Hormonal regulation of social ascent and temporal patterns of behavior in an African cichlid

This study investigates how androgen signaling influences social ascent and behavioral patterns in male African cichlids, finding both hormone-dependent and -independent effects on behavior.
