Group-level phenotypes are idiosyncratic yet unpredictable over development in a clonal fish

Ammon D. Perkes, Jolle Wolter Jolles, Carolina Doran…·Kate L. Laskowski

The paper tracks group-level behavioral changes in genetically identical Amazon molly fish over 55 days, finding predictable early patterns and unstable later differences due to social feedback.

Ancestral gene flow shaped the singular origin of the Amazon molly

Waldir Miron Berbel‐Filho, Maximos Chin, Daniel Kulik…·Karel Janko

The paper investigates the origin of asexuality in the Amazon molly, showing that ancestral introgression between parental species contributed to its unique genomic makeup.

Perceived predation risk affects the development of among-individual behavioral variation in a naturally clonal freshwater fish

Ulrike Scherer, Kate L. Laskowski, Molly M. Kressler…·David Bierbach

The paper examines how perceived predation risk influences among-individual behavioral variation in Amazon mollies, finding reduced variation in predator-exposed groups.
