The Tilapiini (occasionally Tilapini) are a tribe within the family Cichlidae commonly known as tilapiine cichlids. Formerly this tribe contained many other genera and species, including the economically important Oreochromis and Sarotherodon , but a taxonomic review found that this grouping was paraphyletic and most were moved to Coelotilapini ...

2014年9月3日 · To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cichlid phenotypic diversity, we sequenced the genomes and transcriptomes of five lineages of African cichlids: the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis...

2024年9月17日 · Matt Clarke answers your most frequently asked questions on one of the most overlooked groups of cichlids, the tilapiines. What is a tilapiine? Tilapiine (pronounced til-ah-pee-ine) cichlids are endemic to Africa and the Levant (Lebanon and the Middle East), however, there's still a little debate as to what exactly constitutes a tilapiine cichlid.

2002年6月1日 · The significance of the tilapiines for human religion and consumption predates their modern scientific investigation, e.g., Oreochromis niloticus, a geographically widespread tilapiine cichlid, was already known to the early Egyptian cultures and played a significant role in their lives, as indicated by their frequent occurrence in ancient ...

It appears that the highly adaptable biology of tilapiines is the ancestral state for all African cichlids and that the more stenotypic lifestyle of the haplochromine cichlids is derived from this condition.

2013年7月1日 · We present a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of representative haplotilapiine cichlids, combining in one data set four mitochondrial and five nuclear loci for 76 species, and compare it with phylogenetic information of a second data set of 378 mitochondrial ND2 haplotypes representing almost all important “ Tilapia ” or Tilapia -related lineag...

2001年9月1日 · A segment of mitochondrial DNA encompassing the terminal part of the tRNA Pro gene and the most variable part of the control region was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction with DNA samples isolated from 42 tilapiine species, and the amplification products were subjected to heteroduplex analysis and sequencing. Phylogenetic trees based on ...

2022年12月26日 · To better understand the diversity and evolution of cichlids, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete mitochondrial genomes of three Nile tilapiine species (Coptodon zillii, Oreochromis niloticus, and Sarotherodon galilaeus) dominating the Nile River waters. Our results showed that the general mitogenomic features were conserved ...

2021年9月20日 · Here, we review some powerful tools that assess differences in morphology, trophic ecology, and genomics and enable definition of units of conservation of tilapiine cichlids. We discuss advances in geometric morphometrics …

2011年2月16日 · Tilapiine cichlids are a highly successful group of fishes in African freshwaters as they can maintain population sustainability even during adverse environmental conditions (Duponchelle and Panfili 1998; Beveridge and McAndrew 2000; Duponchelle et al. 2000).
