Genetic analyses have confirmed that some parasites have spilled over from introduced Nile tilapia to native cichlids, disrupting local parasite communities and potentially leading to declines in ...

There are many interesting ways to reproduce in nature, and some creatures do the unusual path of reproducing by utilising their mouth.

Using tilapia fish skin as a biological dressing has shown remarkable potential to improve recovery outcomes for burn patients while reducing treatment costs. The technique was pioneered in Brazil ...

To study the role of large inversions in the massive evolutionary radiation of Lake Malawi cichlids, we used long-read technologies to identify four single and two tandem inversions that span half of ...

Shell-dwelling cichlids are known for their remarkable parental care, raising their young in abandoned snail shells. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence have ...

The importance of the gastrointestinal microbiota (GM) in health and disease is widely recognized. Although less is known in fish than in mammals, advances in molecular techniques, such as 16S rRNA ...
