Owing to their taxonomic, phenotypic, ecological and behavioural diversity and propensity
for explosive diversification, the assemblages of cichlid fish in the East African Great Lakes …

The cost of DNA sequencing continues to fall, which makes it feasible to develop genomic
resources for new model species that are well suited for studying questions in evolutionary …

How variation in the genome translates into biological diversity and new species originate
has endured as the mystery of mysteries in evolutionary biology. African cichlid fishes are …

Cichlid fishes have evolved tremendous morphological and behavioral diversity in the
waters of East Africa. Within each of the Great Lakes Tanganyika, Malawi, and Victoria, the …

The species-flocks of cichlid fishes in the East African Great Lakes Victoria, Malawi and
Tanganyika constitute the most diverse extant adaptive radiations in vertebrates. Lake …

Abstract Background Cichlid fish from East Africa are remarkable for phenotypic and
behavioral diversity on a backdrop of genomic similarity. In 2006, the Joint Genome Institute …

Lake Malawi contains a flock of> 500 species of cichlid fish that have evolved from a
common ancestor within the last million years. The rapid diversification of this group has …

With more than 1,500 species, cichlid fishes provide textbook examples of recent and
diverse adaptive radiations, rapid rates of speciation, and the parallel evolution of adaptive …

The adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in East African Lake Malawi encompasses over 500
species that are believed to have evolved within the last 800,000 years from a common …

Cichlid fishes are a very diverse and species-rich family of teleost fishes that inhabit lakes
