https://www.selleckchem.com/products/larotrectinib.html Cichlids are one of the most diverse and colorful groups of freshwater fishes in the world. Despite much investigation, the factors that promote speciation in these fishes are still uncertain. However, previous studies suggest that sexual selection on male color is one of the main drivers of speciation among these fishes. Metriaclima estherae is a polymorphic cichlid species from Lake Malawi, and thus provides an ideal model for the investigation of the importance of color as a species recognition cue. Metriaclima callainos is a closely related and morphologically similar species, with male color pattern very similar to that of M. estherae. We tested female choice by giving females of the two species a choice between conspecific and heterospecific males in the presence and absence of visual (color) and chemical cues. Results show that females of M. callainos were able to reliably recognize conspecific males, even when color was eliminated as a cue. However, females of M. estherae did not prefer conspecific males, although they were able to discriminate between red and blue conspecific color morphs by using chemical cues. These results suggest that species recognition cues may differ even among closely related species of cichlid fish, and that female preferences for male coloration may be weak in certain species.

Led by hypercaloric diets and sedentary lifestyles characteristic of modern societies, NAFLD has a prevalence of 25% amongst the adult population worldwide. Moreover, NAFLD incidence is rising both amongst children and adolescents (1). Alongside basic biomedical research for novel therapeutic tools and the
