Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, the limits of chromatic discrimination in Metriaclima benetos , a rock-dwelling cichlid from Lake Malawi, using behavioral experiments...

Evolutionary transitions from close guarding of the eggs in nests or crevices to mouthbrooding have occurred at least 10 times in the history of cichlids ( Goodwin et al., 1998 ). During mouthbrooding, the buccal cavity of the parent is brought into a typical...
