Fish can change their teeth quickly, which speeds up their evolution. Cichlids in African lakes show the fastest ...

Some fish sport "simple" conical teeth, while others sport "complex" cusped teeth. These differences allow them to survive in distinct habitats and on distinct diets. But African cichlids are famous ...

The cichlid fish of Africa's Great Lakes have formed new species more rapidly than any other group of vertebrates. A new study shows that the ease with which these fish can develop a biological ...

Evidence shows that the evolutionary success of these fish was fuelled not necessarily ... A large proportion of cichids had complex teeth, and cichlids also had high lability of tooth complexity.

Complex teeth with multiple cusps in an African cichlid fish. The cichlid fish of Africa's Great Lakes have formed new species more rapidly than any other group of vertebrates. A new study shows that ...

Adaptations of the teeth and jaws that allow the fish to adapt to a wide range of food sources and habitats are thought to be a factor in their success. Fish, including cichlids, have either ...
