Morphometric and Genetic Description of Trophic Adaptations in Cichlid Fishes

Biology, 11(8), 1165.

By: L. DeLorenzo *, V. DeBrock *, A. Carmona Baez n , P. Ciccotto n, E. Peterson n, C. Stull n, N. Roberts n, R. Roberts n , K. Powder *

author keywords: craniofacial; quantitative trait loci; geometric morphometrics
TL;DR: The genetic and molecular origins of trophic adaptation using Lake Malawi cichlids, which have undergone an exemplary evolutionary radiation, suggest that craniofacial traits are mostly inherited as separate modules, which confers a high potential for the evolution of morphological diversity.

2022 journal article

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

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 119(14).

By: E. Moore n, P. Ciccotto*, E. Peterson n, M. Lamm n, R. Albertson * & R. Roberts n 

author keywords: sex chromosomes; Malawi African cichlids; sexual dimorphism; sex determination
MeSH headings : Animals; Cichlids / genetics; Cichlids / physiology; Female; Genetic Fitness; Male; Phenotype; Polymorphism, Genetic; Sex Characteristics; Sex Chromosomes / genetics; Sex Determination Processes
TL;DR: This work investigates how sex differences emerge in a species with more than one set of sex chromosomes, measuring a variety of morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits and finds that significant creation or loss of variation in diverse traits can occur during transitions among sex chromosome systems.

Genetic sex determination in Astatotilapia calliptera, a prototype species for the Lake Malawi cichlid radiation

SCIENCE OF NATURE, 104(5-6).

By: E. Peterson n, M. Cline n, E. Moore n, N. Roberts n & R. Roberts n 

author keywords: Sex chromosome; Genetic sex determination; Cichlid; Fish; Astatotilapia calliptera
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Cichlids / classification; Cichlids / genetics; Cichlids / physiology; Female; Genetic Markers / genetics; Male; Sex Chromosomes / genetics; Sex Determination Processes / genetics; Species Specificity
TL;DR: This study identifies a male heterogametic XY system segregating at linkage group (LG) 7 in an A. calliptera line that originated from Lake Malawi, at a locus previously shown to act as an XY sex determination system in multiple species of Lake Malawian cichlids. (via Semantic Scholar)
