The evolutionary history of the endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid tribe Tropheini, the sister
group of the species flocks of Lake Malawi and the Lake Victoria region, was reconstructed …

The Lamprologini are the most species-rich and diverse tribe of Lake Tanganyika cichlids,
comprising around 90 described species. We reconstruct the most complete (∼ 70 species) …

Over 200 described endemic species make up the adaptive radiation of cichlids in Lake
Tanga-nyika. This species assemblage has been viewed as both an evolutionary reservoir …

Background Cichlid fishes are notorious for their wealth of intra-and interspecific colour
pattern diversity. In Lake Tanganyika, the endemic genus Tropheus represents the most …

A long history of research focused on the East Africa cichlid radiations (EAR) revealed
discrepancies between mtDNA and nuclear phylogenies, suggesting that interspecific …

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 …

One of the most surprising outcomes of recent molecular studies on cichlid fishes of the
three Great East African Lakes Victoria, Malawi and Tanganyika, was the stunning rapidity of …

The cichlid species flock of Lake Tanganyika represents a polyphyletic assemblage of eight
ancestral lineages, which colonized the emerging lake independently. Our study is focused …

The cichlid species flock of Lake Tanganyika is comprised of seven seeding lineages that
evolved in step with changes of the lake environment. One seeding lineage diversified into …

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 …
