Social experience in early ontogeny has lasting effects on social skills in cooperatively breeding cichlids (2010, unknown): “It is possible, though, that various stimuli produced by interacting adults are perceived by the fry more or less inadvertently, such as acoustic (Amorim et al. 2004) and olfactory (Hirschenhauser et al. 2008) cues during certain activities of adults.”
Communication in troubled waters: responses of fish communication systems to changing environments (2011, background): “Such signals can also be important for species recognition, as shown in sympatrically occurring pomacentrids (Myrberg et al. 1978) and as suggested for Malawi cichlids (Lobel 1998; Amorim et al. 2004, 2008).”
Sounds of male Lake Victoria cichlids vary within and between species and affect female mate preferences (2010, methodology): “Closely related, co-occurring species of cichlids from Lake Malawi also show differences in the same 2 temporal measurements as the species in our study, pulse repetition time, and the number of pulses in a sound (Lobel 1998; Amorim et al. 2004, 2008).”
Species differences in courtship acoustic signals among five Lake Malawi cichlid species (Pseudotropheus spp.) (2008, methodology): “, 2005) and acoustic (Amorim et al., 2004) signals may also be important.”
