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

Fish, including cichlids, have either “simple” teeth, basically cone-shaped pegs, or “complex” teeth with multiple cusps that can adapt to feed on different prey. Peoples spent two years examining the ...

Among the fishes, there are a few options for teeth: Some fish sport “simple” conical teeth, while others sport “complex” cusped teeth. These differences allow them to survive in distinct habitats and ...

He found that teeth evolved from simple to complex around 86 times across all fish species and that these transitions were common in African cichlids, which adapted with a certain ease of evolution.
