Selection on visual opsin genes in diurnal Neotropical frogs and loss of the SWS2 opsin in poison frogs

Y. C. Wan, M. J. Navarrete, L. A. O'Connell, L. H. Uricchio, A. B. Roland, M. E. Maan, S. R. Ron, M. Betancourth-Cundar, M. R. Pie, K. A. Howell, C. L. Richards-Zawacki, M. E. Cummings, D. C. Cannatella, J. C. Santos, R. D. Tarvin

The paper identifies positive selection on opsin genes in diurnal Neotropical frogs and reports the loss of SWS2 opsin in poison frogs, suggesting implications for their visual adaptation and chemical ecology.

Contribution of opsins and chromophores to cone pigment variation across populations of Lake Victoria cichlids

E. Wilwert, R. S. Etienne, L. Van de Zande, M. E. Maan

The paper investigates how opsins and chromophore ratios contribute to visual pigment variation in Lake Victoria cichlids, finding genetic differences in cyp27c1 expression linked to environmental and visual habitat differences.

Four new species of Cichlidogyrus (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea, Dactylogyridae) from Lake Victoria haplochromine cichlid fishes, with the redescription of C. bifurcatus and C. longipenis

T. P. Gobbin, M. P. M. Vanhove, O. Seehausen, M. E. Maan, A. Pariselle

The paper describes four new species of Cichlidogyrus parasites from Lake Victoria cichlids and redescribes two existing species, highlighting morphological features and evolutionary patterns.

Visual adaptation and microhabitat choice in Lake Victoria cichlid fish

D. Mameri, C. van Kammen, T. G. G. Groothuis, O. Seehausen, M. E. Maan

This study examines visual habitat preferences in Lake Victoria cichlid fish, finding a preference for broad-spectrum light over their typical habitat, suggesting visual adaptation does not directly drive microhabitat choice.
