How many species of cichlid fishes are there in African lakes?
The endemic cichlid fishes of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria are textbook examples
of explosive speciation and adaptive radiation, and their study promises to yield important …

Speciation in rapidly diverging systems: lessons from Lake Malawi
Rapid evolutionary radiations provide insight into the fundamental processes involved in
species formation. Here we examine the diversification of one such group, the cichlid fishes …

Molecular systematics of bats of the genus Myotis (Vespertilionidae) suggests deterministic ecomorphological convergences
Based on extensive phenetic analyses, bats of the genus Myotis have been classically
subdivided into four major subgenera each of which comprise many species with similar …

Phylogeny of the Lake Tanganyika cichlid species flock and its relationship to the Central and East African haplochromine cichlid fish faunas
Lake Tanganyika, the oldest of the East African Great Lakes, harbors the ecologically,
morphologically, and behaviorally most complex of all assemblages of cichlid fishes …

The species flocks of East African cichlid fishes: recent advances in molecular phylogenetics and population genetics
Abstract With more than 3,000 species, the fish family Cichlidae is one of the most species-
rich families of vertebrates. Cichlids occur in southern and central America, Africa …

Lake level fluctuations synchronize genetic divergences of cichlid fishes in African lakes
Water level fluctuations are important modulators of speciation processes in tropical lakes, in
that they temporarily form or break down barriers to gene flow among adjacent populations …

Replicated evolution of trophic specializations in an endemic cichlid fish lineage from Lake Tanganyika
The current phylogenetic hypothesis for the endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid fishes of the
tribe Eretmodini is based solely on morphology and suggests that more complex trophic …
