Genomewide SNP data reveal cryptic phylogeographic structure and microallopatric divergence in a rapids‐adapted clade of cichlids from the Congo River
Abstract The lower Congo River is a freshwater biodiversity hot spot in Africa characterized
by some of the world's largest rapids. However, little is known about the evolutionary forces …

Time and origin of cichlid colonization of the lower Congo rapids
J Schwarzer, B Misof, SN Ifuta, UK Schliewen - Plos one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Most freshwater diversity is arguably located in networks of rivers and streams, but, in
contrast to lacustrine systems riverine radiations, are largely understudied. The extensive …
