Behavioral dominance between female color morphs of a Lake Victoria cichlid fish (2009, positive): “The N. omnicaeruleus system has inspired models of sympatric speciation by sexual selection (Lande et al. 2001; Kocher 2004, see also Seehausen et al. 1999; Pierotti and Seehausen 2007; Maan et al. 2008; Pierotti et al. 2008).”
Ecology and Evolution of the African Great Lakes and Their Faunas (2014, background): “…flocks of Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika, in which deeper splits separate major ecological clades, appears to support this trend (Danley & Kocher 2001, Kocher 2004), a quantitative analysis (Muschick et al. 2012) found no support for this model in Tanganyikan cichlids, suggesting that…”
New insights on early evolution of spiny-rayed fishes (Teleostei: Acanthomorpha) (2014, background): “…that have been at the center of abundant research in evolutionary developmental biology, speciation and behavior (cichlids and sticklebacks) (e.g., Kocher, 2004; Shapiro et al., 2004; Seehausen et al., 2008; Huntingford and Ruiz-Gomez, 2009; Chen and Mayden, 2010; Jones et al., 2012; Muschick et…”
Evolution of microRNA diversity and regulation in animals (2011, background): “Interestingly, an analysis of polymorphisms in cichlid fish, which represent a remarkable model for understanding genetic mechanisms of speciation processes (reviewed in Ref”
Speciation in coral-reef fishes (2008, background): “However, with the exception of explosive radiations such as those in cichlids (Kocher, 2004) and rock fishes (Johns & Avise, 1998), speciation rates are rarely calculated for fishes, and only a few reef-fish studies approach the subject.”
MiFish metabarcoding: a high-throughput approach for simultaneous detection of multiple fish species from environmental DNA and other samples (2020, background): “One of the big challenges in eDNA metabarcoding is the feasibility of eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring highly diverse fish communities in “diversity hotspots,” such as cichlid fishes of the Great Lakes of East Africa (Kocher 2004), riverine fishes of the Amazon basin of South America (Lundberg et a”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “The most famous case of replicated adaptive radiation is the cichlids of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa (reviewed in Fryer and Iles 1972; Stiassny and Meyer 1999; Kornﬁeld and Smith 2000; Kocher 2004; Salzburger and Meyer 2004; Salzburger et al. 2005; Seehausen 2006; Genner et al. 2007).”
Sounds of male Lake Victoria cichlids vary within and between species and affect female mate preferences (2010, background): “In cichlid fish, mate choice is an important factor in the evolution of their large numbers of species (Kornfield and Smith 2000; Kocher 2004; Seehausen et al. 2008).”
Female preference for male color is necessary and sufficient for assortative mating in 2 cichlid sister species (2014, background): “The haplochromine cichlid fish of the East African Lakes have become a model system in speciation and adaptive radiation research (Kocher 2004; Seehausen 2006).”
Cichlid fishes as models of ecological diversification: patterns, mechanisms, and consequences (2015, background): “divergence, such as specialization upon different food resources or habitat types (Kocher, 2004), and provides additional variation upon which disruptive selection may act (Martin, 2012).”
Direct male-male competition can facilitate invasion of new colour types in Lake Victoria cichlids (2005, background): “Sexual selection by female choice on conspicuous male colour patterns has been proposed as an important factor in the rapid speciation (Dominey 1984; Seehausen et al. 1997; Seehausen and Van Alphen 1998; Kocher 2004).”
Cryptic species in ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) revisited: we need a change in the alpha taxonomic approach (2009, background): “2003b, F UNK & O MLAND 2003, B ALLARD & W HITLOCK 2004, K OCHER 2004, S EIFERT & G OROPASHNAYA 2004, H URST & J IGGINS 2005, L ORENZ & al.”
Genetic and developmental basis of cichlid trophic diversity (2006, background): “Cichlid fishes are an important evolutionary model (Kocher, 2004).”
Neotropical diversification seen through glassfrogs (2014, result): “This value is at least 10 times smaller than the highest reported diversification rates among animals and plants (Kocher, 2004; Hughes & Eastwood, 2006; Moyle et al., 2009) and similar to the rates described for the most speciesrich Neotropical frog clades, such as hylids or dendrobatids (Wiens et…”
The Role of Parasitism in Adaptive Radiations—When Might Parasites Promote and When Might They Constrain Ecological Speciation? (2012, background): “These systems are particular as they harbour a tremendous diversity of hundreds of cichlid fish species each that have emerged in the lakes in a few ten thousand to one or two million years [63–65], representing spectacular examples both of biodiversity and adaptive radiation, and of the high rates ”
African cichlid fish: a model system in adaptive radiation research (2006, background): “Next to experimental microbial evolution (Rainey et al. 2000), the cichlid fish in African lakes are emerging as one of the potentially most powerful model systems in speciation and adaptive radiation research (Kocher 2004).”
