Distinct genetic origins of eumelanin intensity and barring patterns in cichlid fishes

A. A. Brandon, C. Michael, A. C. Baez, E. C. Moore, P. J. Ciccotto, N. B. Roberts, R. B. Roberts, K. E. Powder

The paper identifies genetic factors influencing eumelanin intensity and vertical barring patterns in cichlid fishes through a genetic cross and QTL analysis.

Polygenic sex determination produces modular sex polymorphism in an African cichlid fish

E. C. Moore, P. J. Ciccotto, E. N. Peterson, M. S. Lamm, R. C. Albertson, R. B. Roberts

This study shows that polygenic sex determination in African cichlid fish leads to modular sexual polymorphism with more than two phenotypic sexes.

Evolution of a sex megachromosome

M. A. Conte, F. B. Clark, R. B. Roberts, L. Xu, W. Tao, Q. Zhou, D. Wang, T. D. Kocher

The paper investigates the evolution of a sex megachromosome in cichlid fish, finding it consists of three distinct regions and contains unique genomic features.

Exploratory behavior is associated with microhabitat and evolutionary radiation in Lake Malawi cichlids

Z. V. Johnson, E. C. Moore, R. Y. Wong, J. R. Godwin, J. T. Streelman, R. B. Roberts

This study examines exploratory behavior in Lake Malawi cichlids, finding that species differences are linked to microhabitat and that intermediate habitats correlate with higher exploratory behavior.

Heterospecific aggression differs predominately by species, rather than sex, in Lake Malawi cichlid fish

E. C. Moore, R. B. Roberts

The study examines aggression in Lake Malawi cichlid fish, finding species-specific patterns and sexual dimorphism in aggressive acts, with cortisol levels linked to behavior but not aggression levels.
