Genetic basis of ecologically relevant body shape variation among four genera of cichlid fishes

DeLorenzo, L., Mathews, D., Brandon, A. A., Joglekar, M., Carmona Baez, A., Moore, E. C., … Powder, K. E. (2023, May 10). Molecular Ecology, Vol. 5.

By: L. DeLorenzo *, D. Mathews*, A. Brandon*, M. Joglekar*, A. Carmona Baez n , E. Moore  n, P. Ciccotto n, N. Roberts n, R. Roberts n , K. Powder *

author keywords: adaptation; Cichlidae; fish diversification; quantitative trait loci
topics (OpenAlex): Morphological variations and asymmetry; Genetic diversity and population structure; Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock
TL;DR: It is found that convergent body shape phenotypes commonly observed across fish clades are most likely due to distinct genetic and molecular mechanisms. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 journal article

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
topics (OpenAlex): Morphological variations and asymmetry; Fish biology, ecology, and behavior; Genetic diversity and population structure
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 article

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

Moore, E. C., Ciccotto, P. J., Peterson, E. N., Lamm, M. S., Albertson, R. C., & Roberts, R. B. (2022, March 31). Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 4.

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
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Sex Determination and Chromosomal Abnormalities; Genetic diversity and population structure; Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species
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.
