The paper uses single-cell transcriptomic data to study dietary adaptations in cichlid fish intestines, finding that anterior enterocytes drive evolutionary changes in gene expression and cell abundance.

The paper examines macroevolutionary dynamics in African cichlid radiations, finding inverse correlation between vertebral count evolution rates and radiation age, but no early burst pattern within individual systems.

The paper examines how the adaptive radiation of African cichlid fishes influenced viral diversity and evolution, finding accelerated hepacivirus diversification during periods of rapid cichlid diversification.
