Control of testes mass by androgen receptor paralogs in a cichlid

A. P. Hoadley, R. D. Fernald, B. A. Alward

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

B. A. Alward, P. H. Cathers, D. M. Blakkan, R. D. Fernald

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

B. A. Alward, V. Laud, C. J. Skalnik, R. A. York, S. A. Juntti, R. D. Fernald

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

B. A. Alward, A. T. Hilliard, R. A. York, R. D. Fernald

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.
