Somatostatin regulates aggressive behavior in an African cichlid fish.
Animals respond to environmental and social change with plasticity in the neural substrates underlying particular behavioral states. In the African cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni, social dominance status in males is accompanied by reduced somatic growth rate as well as increased somatostatin neuron size in the preoptic area. Although somatostatin is commonly studied within the context of gr...
متن کاملHybrid Breakdown in Cichlid Fish
Studies from a wide diversity of taxa have shown a negative relationship between genetic compatibility and the divergence time of hybridizing genomes. Theory predicts the main breakdown of fitness to happen after the F1 hybrid generation, when heterosis subsides and recessive allelic (Dobzhansky-Muller) incompatibilities are increasingly unmasked. We measured the fitness of F2 hybrids of Africa...
متن کاملDifferential Survival between Visual Environments Supports a Role of Divergent Sensory Drive in Cichlid Fish Speciation.
Identifying the selective forces that initiate ecological speciation is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Sensory drive has been implicated in speciation in various taxa, largely based on phenotype-environment correlations and signatures of selection in sensory genes. Here, we present a reciprocal transplant experiment revealing species differences in performance in alternative visual ...

متن کاملRepellents: Integrating Sensory Modalities
Recommendations for managing wildlife damage situations often involve application of multiple methods or techniques. The basis for such recommendations is unclear as there is little evidence that such combinations of methods work more effectively than the individual methods alone. In order to improve beyond hit or miss repellent applications, we should adopt principles exhibited in nature and d...
