  • Female Social Dominance Does Not Establish Mating Priority in Nile Tilapia
    Revista de Etologia 2004, Vol.6, N°1,Social 33-37 dominance and mating in the Nile tilapia Female Social Dominance does not Establish Mating Priority in Nile Tilapia ELIANE GONÇALVES-DE-FREITAS AND ALINE CHIMELLO FERREIRA Universidade Estadual Paulista, São José do Rio Preto Female dominance and size are important features for mating choices in fishes. As dominants are also the largest females in some species, we tested whether dominance per se favours mating priority in Nile tilapia females. Three matched-size adult females (n = 13) were grouped in a 140 l-aquarium during 3 days for hierarchical settlement. On the 4th day a male larger than the females was introduced in the group and kept there for 12 consecutive days until reproduction. Spawning occurred in 8 out of 13 replicates, and the alpha female was the first to mate in only 50% of the cases. Males may thus choose females according to size and not according to rank, as occurs in other cichlid species. As confrontations and the establishment of hierarchical dominance involve high energetic expenditure in Nile tilapias, the reason why females invest in such behaviors is still a question to be elucidated. Index terms: Reproductive behavior. Mate choice. Nile tilapias. Oreochromis niloticus. A dominância social da fêmea não promove prioridade de acasalamento em fêmeas de tilápia-do-Nilo. A dominância e o tamanho da fêmea são características importantes para a escolha do parceiro sexual em peixes. Como as fêmeas dominantes também são as maiores em várias espécies, procuramos verificar se a dominância em si promove a prioridade de acasalamento em fêmeas de tilápia-do-Nilo.

OLDFIELD1,2, ABHINAV KAKUTURU1, WILLIAM I. LUTTERSCHMIDT2, O. TOM LORENZ3, ADAM E. COHEN4, AND DEAN A. HENDRICKSON4 ABSTRACT The Rio Grande Cichlid, Herichthys cyanoguttatus, is native to the drainages of the Gulf Coast of northern Mexico and southern Texas and has been introduced at several sites in the US. Previous observations have suggested that non-native populations in Louisiana that are currently recognized as H. cyanoguttatus resemble another species, the Lowland Cichlid, H. carpintis. Traditional morphological and genetic techniques have been insufficient to differentiate these species, but H. carpintis has been reported to differ fromH. cyanoguttatus in color pattern, so we turned to novel electronic photo archives to determine the identity of the species introduced in Louisiana. First, we used the public databases Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database and Fishes of Texas to infer the historical distributions of these species in the US.

  • The African Butterfly Peacock Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi “Eureka Red” by John Moyles
    The African Butterfly Peacock Aulonocara jacobfreibergi “Eureka Red” By John Moyles Aulonocara jacobfreibergi (Johnson, 1974) is also called the African butterfly peacock and the fairy peacock. They are endemic to Malawi and are found throughout the lake of the same name. There are several geographical variants of the Aulonocara species in the hobby, including Eureka, Mamela, Otter Point, Hongi Island, Cape Kaiser, Lemon Jake, among others. These should never be housed together as they will readily cross-breed. Only one geographical race should be kept in the same aquarium. Description Males of this species differ from most other Peacocks in their broad, wide white dorsal and caudal fin margins. Females are easily confused with other peacock females, because they are grayish-brown in color with vertical banding on the body and have rounded anal and dorsal fins. Butterfly peacocks are further distinguished from other Peacocks by their large size. They can grow to lengths of up to 8 or 9 inches, but often can breed at half that size. Another distinguishing characteristic of the Butterfly Peacock is its moderate to deeply forked tail fin, which gives it the appearance of a swallow's tail. The “Eureka” variant is an aquarium strain that was developed by line breeding specimens from Otter Point, Malawi. The males have blue throughout head, body and fins. Lower half of the head is blue and the upper part of the dorsal region is orange/red. Anal fin may show red. Dorsal fin has the trademark white/light blue blaze. Diet Butterfly peacocks are specialized feeders. In the wild they mostly consume zooplankton (insect larvae and crustaceans) in the wild.

Tyers, [email protected] 9 10 Abstract 11 Balancing selection is important for the maintenance of polymorphism as it can prevent either fixation of one 12 morph through directional selection or genetic drift, or speciation by disruptive selection. Polychromatism can 13 be maintained if the fitness of alternative morphs depends on the relative frequency in a population. In 14 aggressive species, negative frequency-dependent antagonism can prevent an increase in the frequency of rare 15 morphs as they would only benefit from increased fitness while they are rare. Heterospecific aggression is 16 common in nature and has the potential to contribute to rare morph advantage. Here we carry out field 17 observations and laboratory aggression experiments with mbuna cichlids from Lake Malawi, to investigate the 18 role of con- and heterospecific aggression in the maintenance of polychromatism and identify benefits to rare 19 mores which are likely to result from reduced aggression.

  • Personality, Habitat Selection and Territoriality Kathleen Church A
    Habitat Complexity and Behaviour: Personality, Habitat Selection and Territoriality Kathleen Church A Thesis In the Department of Biology Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Biology) at Concordia University Montréal, Québec, Canada July 2018 © Kathleen Church, 2018 iii Abstract Habitat complexity and behaviour: personality, habitat selection and territoriality Kathleen Church, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2018 Structurally complex habitats support high species diversity and promote ecosystem health and stability, however anthropogenic activity is causing natural forms of complexity to rapidly diminish. At the population level, reductions in complexity negatively affect densities of territorial species, as increased visual distance increases the territory size of individuals. Individual behaviour, including aggression, activity and boldness, is also altered by complexity, due to plastic behavioural responses to complexity, habitat selection by particular personality types, or both processes occurring simultaneously. This thesis explores the behavioural effects of habitat complexity in four chapters. The first chapter, a laboratory experiment based on the ideal free distribution, observes how convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) trade-off the higher foraging success obtainable in open habitats with the greater safety provided in complex habitats under overt predation threat. Dominants always preferred the complex habitat, forming ideal despotic distributions, while subordinates altered their habitat use in response to predation. The second chapter also employs the ideal free distribution to assess how convict cichlids within a dominance hierarchy trade-off between food monopolization and safety in the absence of a iv predator. Dominants again formed ideal despotic distributions in the complex habitat, while dominants with lower energetic states more strongly preferred the complex habitat.
