The paper investigates nest-building behavior in cichlids, finding it involves innate templates and flexible schema with neural correlates in hippocampus-like regions.

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.

The paper identifies neuronal cell types in the zebrafish optic tectum and shows that transcriptionally similar neurons can have distinct functional and morphological traits based on their spatial position.

The paper compares prey capture strategies in larval zebrafish, cichlids, and medaka, finding differences in movement patterns and visual cues used during hunting.

This study compares two scRNA-seq pre-processing pipelines, showing that kallisto improves gene detection and cell type identification compared to Cell Ranger.

The paper classifies zebrafish retinal ganglion cells using single-cell transcriptomics, identifies marker genes, and links molecular profiles to functional behaviors.
