Thank you Farjana Chamily and Ben VanderKlok at Central Michigan University for leading this welfare study in cichlid fish! cmich.edu/news/details/c…
The journey to securing our NSF grant was a team effort! A huge thank you to @HofmannLab, Ryan Wong, and many others: CMU partners on $1.8 million NSF grant to study evolution: cmich.edu/news/details/C…
We published our cannibalism paper two years ago: nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl… This is our follow up study: micropublication.org/journals/biolo…

Stress is warping these fish brains
It is not some secret that stress can be bad for animal brains, and social stress itself can lead to a build up of oxidative stress. This imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants damages the cells...

Researchers hoping to learn why African freshwater cichlids carry newborn babies in their mouths discovered something even more bizarre: they devour some of the young offspring in the process.

Fish that keep their young in their mouths sometimes eat them
Some female cichlid fish keep their offspring in their mouth for protection, but they commonly eat up to half of their brood

Social rank, color morph, and social network metrics predict oxidative stress in a cichlid fish
Living in a social hierarchy can be stressful even for those on top. While past work has established the stress involved in being a low-ranking member of a
