Brood care in shell-dwelling cichlids is timed by independent maternal and larval clocks

This study shows that maternal and larval clocks independently control the timing of larval emergence in shell-dwelling cichlids, with each clock able to override the other under experimental conditions.

Decontextualized learning for interpretable hierarchical representations of visual patterns

This paper introduces DHRL, a method for learning interpretable hierarchical representations from visual data, and applies it to evolutionary biology.

Structural manipulations of a shelter resource reveal underlying preference functions in a shell-dwelling cichlid fish

The paper uses 3D-printed shell replicas to study preference functions in cichlid fish, finding that intactness, length, and aperture width are key factors in shelter choice.

High-resolution animal tracking with integration of environmental information in aquatic systems

This paper introduces a deep-learning method for high-resolution animal tracking in aquatic environments using low-cost cameras and environmental data integration.

Behavioral traits that define social dominance are the same that reduce social influence in a consensus task

The paper shows that behavioral traits associated with social dominance in cichlid fish reduce their social influence in complex consensus tasks, while subordinate males are more effective in driving social change.
