In addition to complex social Available online 9 May 2013 behaviour and morphological versatility, they are characterised by extensive diversity in colouration, both within and between species. Here, we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying colour Keywords: variation in this group and the selective pressures responsible for the observed variation. We specifically Cichlidae address the evidence for the hypothesis that divergence in colouration is associated with the evolution Natural selection of reproductive isolation between lineages. While we conclude that cichlid colours are excellent models Pigmentation for understanding the role of animal communication in species divergence, we also identify taxonomic Polymorphism and methodological biases in the current research effort. We suggest that the integration of genomic Sexual selection Speciation approaches with ecological and behavioural studies, across the entire cichlid family and beyond it, will contribute to the utility of the cichlid model system for understanding the evolution of biological diversity. -

Removal of Reproductive Suppression Reveals Latent Sex Differences In
Swift-Gallant et al. Biology of Sex Differences (2015) 6:31 DOI 10.1186/s13293-015-0050-x RESEARCH Open Access Removal of reproductive suppression reveals latent sex differences in brain steroid hormone receptors in naked mole-rats, Heterocephalus glaber Ashlyn Swift-Gallant1, Kaiguo Mo1, Deane E. Peragine1, D. Ashley Monks1,2 and Melissa M. Holmes1,2,3* Abstract Background: Naked mole-rats are eusocial mammals, living in large colonies with a single breeding female and 1–3 breeding males. Breeders are socially dominant, and only the breeders exhibit traditional sex differences in circulating gonadal steroid hormones and reproductive behaviors. Non-reproductive subordinates also fail to show sex differences in overall body size, external genital morphology, and non-reproductive behaviors. However, subordinates can transition to breeding status if removed from their colony and housed with an opposite-sex conspecific, suggesting the presence of latent sex differences. Here, we assessed the expression of steroid hormone receptor and aromatase messenger RNA (mRNA) in the brains of males and females as they transitioned in social and reproductive status. Methods: We compared in-colony subordinates to opposite-sex subordinate pairs that were removed from their colony for either 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or until they became breeders (i.e., produced a litter). Diencephalic tissue was collected and mRNA of androgen receptor (Ar), estrogen receptor alpha (Esr1), progesterone receptor (Pgr), and aromatase (Cyp19a1) was measured using qPCR. Testosterone, 17β-estradiol, and progesterone from serum were also measured. Results: As early as 1 week post-removal, males exhibited increased diencephalic Ar mRNA and circulating testosterone, whereas females had increased Cyp19a1 mRNA in the diencephalon. -

C. guntheri, H. bimaculatus and T. zillii exhibited positive allometric growth with b = 3.452, 3.828 and 3.210, respec- tively, while H. fasciatus, T. mariae and O. niloticus exhibited negative allometric growth with b = 2.667, 2.272 and 2.792, respectively. There was difference in the condition factors for the combined fish species and the monthly factor for each fish species studied: C. guntheri was 3.44 ± 0.39, H. -
Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | The Journal of Experimental Biology (2014) 217, 4203-4212 doi:10.1242/jeb.111518 RESEARCH ARTICLE Olfactory sensitivity to steroid glucuronates in Mozambique tilapia suggests two distinct and specific receptors for pheromone detection Tina Keller-Costa1,2, Adelino V. M. Canário1 and Peter C. Hubbard1,* ABSTRACT improve fertility to enhance reproductive success (Stacey, 2010; Cichlids offer an exciting opportunity to understand vertebrate Stacey and Sorensen, 2005). Pheromones may be composed of a speciation; chemical communication could be one of the drivers of single or multiple component(s) and are detected by olfactory African cichlid radiation. Chemical signals mediate key aspects in the receptors from which the signal is relayed to specific brain areas that lives of vertebrates and often are species specific. Dominant male integrate the information and trigger the appropriate behavioural Mozambique tilapia [Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters 1852)] and/or endocrine response.

This species was previously recorded from the same area over 15 years ago, but was considered extirpated. The rediscovery of a reproducing population of this species highlights the dearth of information available regarding the dozens of non-native fishes in Florida, as well as the need for additional research and monitoring. Key words: canal; croaking gourami; cypress swamp; Florida; Loxahatchee; Osphronemidae; Trichopsis vittata was previously considered extirpated (Shafland Introduction et al. 2008a, b), but is now known to be reproducing in a localised area.

A New Colorful Species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), Endemic to the Rio Aripuanã in the Amazon Basin of Brazil
Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(4): 737-746, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20140038 A new colorful species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), endemic to the rio Aripuanã in the Amazon basin of Brazil Gabriel C. Deprá1, Sven O. Kullander2, Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 and Weferson J. da Graça4 Geophagus mirabilis, new species, is endemic to the rio Aripuanã drainage upstream from Dardanelos/Andorinhas falls. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus by the presence of one to five large black spots arranged longitudinally along the middle of the flank, in addition to the black midlateral spot that is characteristic of species in the genus and by a pattern of iridescent spots and lines on the head in living specimens. It is further distinguished from all congeneric species, except G. camopiensis and G. crocatus, by the presence of seven (vs. eight or more) scale rows in the circumpeduncular series below the lateral line (7 in G. crocatus; 7-9 in G. camopiensis). Including the new species, five cichlids and 11 fish species in total are known only from the upper rio Aripuanã, and 15 fish species in total are known only from the rio Aripuanã drainage. Geophagus mirabilis, espécie nova, é endêmica da drenagem do rio Aripuanã, a montante das quedas de Dardanelos/ Andorinhas.
