Data from: Habitat loss in the restricted range of the endemic Ghanaian cichlid Limbochromis robertsi
<p>Remote sensing has become an integral and invaluable tool to inform biodiversity conservation and monitoring of habitat degradation and restoration over time. Despite the disproportionately high levels of biodiversity loss in freshwater ecosystems worldwide, ichthyofauna are commonly overlooked in favor of other keystone species. Freshwater fish, as indicators of overall aquatic ecosystem health can also be indicators of larger scale problems within an ecosystem. As a case study with multi-temporal, multi-resolution satellite imagery, we examined deforestation and forest fragmentation around the Atewa Forest Reserve, Ghana. Within small creeks, <i>Limbochromis robertsi</i>, a unique freshwater cichlid with an extremely limited distribution range can be found. Historically, the land cover in the area has undergone substantial deforestation for agriculture and artisanal small-scale mining. In the 1389 km<sup>2</sup> study area we found deforestation accelerated along with increased forest fragmentation in the 2014 – 2017 period (167.4 km<sup>2</sup> of deforestation) with the majority of the forest loss along the river and creek banks due to small-scale mining operations and increased agriculture. Field visits indicated a decrease in the total <i>L. robertsi</i> population by approximately 90% from the early 1990s to 2018. Its<i> </i>distribution has been reduced to higher elevations by anthropogenic habitat barriers at low elevations and the presence of predatory species. Loss of Riparian forest through land use and cover change to mining and agriculture contributes to the habitat degradation for these endemic species. The fine spatial and temporal scale studies required to assess habitat characteristics is not captured by global or continental scale datasets.</p>
Data from: Population genomic evidence reveals subtle patterns of differentiation in the trophically polymorphic Cuatro Ciénegas cichlid, Herichthys minckleyi
In recent decades, an increased understanding of molecular ecology has led to a reinterpretation of the role of gene flow during the evolution of reproductive isolation and biological novelty. For example, even in the face of ongoing gene flow strong selection may maintain divergent polymorphisms, or gene flow may introduce novel biological diversity via hybridization and introgression from a divergent species. Herein, we elucidate the evolutionary history and genomic basis of a trophically polymorphic trait in a species of cichlid fish, Herichthys minckleyi. We explored genetic variation at three hierarchical levels; between H. minckleyi (n=69) and a closely related species H. cyanoguttatus (n=10), between
Drivers and dynamics of a massive adaptive radiation in cichlid fishes
<p>Adaptive radiation is the likely source of much of the ecological and morphological diversity of life. How adaptive radiations proceed and what determines their extent remains elusive in most cases. Here we report the in-depth examination of the spectacular adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in African Lake Tanganyika. Based on whole-genome phylogenetic analyses, multivariate morphological measurements of three ecologically relevant trait complexes (body shape, upper oral jaw morphology, and lower pharyngeal jaw shape), scoring of pigmentation patterns, and approximations of the ecology of virtually all ~240 cichlid species endemic to Lake Tanganyika, we show that the radiation occurred within the confines of the lake and that morphological diversification proceeded in consecutive trait-specific pulses of morphospace expansion. We provide empirical support for two theoretical predictions on how adaptive radiations proceed, the 'early-burst' scenario (for body shape) and the stages model (for all traits investigated). Through the analysis of two genomes per species and by taking advantage of the uneven distribution of species in subclades of the radiation, we further show that species richness scales positively with per individual heterozygosity, but is not correlated with transposable element content, number of gene duplications, or genome-wide levels of selection in coding sequences.</p>
Gene expression remodelling and immune response during adaptive divergence in an African cichlid fish
<p><span>Variation in gene expression contributes to ecological speciation by facilitating population persistence in novel environments. Likewise, immune response can be a relevant factor in speciation driven by adaptation to different environments. Previous studies examining gene expression differences between recently diverged ecotypes often relied on only one pair of populations, targeted the expression of only a subset of genes, or used wild caught-individuals. Here, we investigated the contribution of habitat-specific parasites and symbionts and the underlying immunological capabilities of ecotype hosts to adaptive divergence in lake-river population pairs of the cichlid fish <i>Astatotilapia burtoni</i>. To shed light on the role of phenotypic plasticity in adaptive divergence, we compared parasite and microbiota communities, immune response, and gene expression patterns of fish from natural habitats and a lake-like pond setup. In all investigated population pairs, lake fish were more heavily parasitized than river fish, both in terms of parasite taxa composition and infection abundance. Innate immune response in the wild was higher in lake than in river populations and elevated in a river population exposed to lake parasites in the pond setup. Environmental differences between lake and river habitat and their distinct parasite communities shaped differential gene expression, involving genes functioning in osmoregulation and immune response. Most changes in gene expression between lake and river samples in the wild and in the pond setup were based on a plastic response. Finally, gene expression and bacterial communities of wild-caught individuals and individuals acclimated to lake-like pond conditions showed shifts underlying adaptive phenotypic plasticity.</span></p>
