The mouthbrooding cichlid Oreochromis niloticus is one of the world's best‐studied fish and
is raised extensively for aquaculture. Although it is a common behavioural model, its …

The largely endemic cichlid species flocks of the East African Great Lakes are among the
prime examples for explosive speciation and adaptive radiation. Speciation rates differ …

An important goal of conservation biology is to preserve the evolutionary potential of a
species by maintaining natural levels of genetic diversity. Here, we assess the population …

Allopatric speciation often yields ecologically equivalent sister species, so that their
secondary admixis enforces competition. The shores of Lake Tanganyika harbor about 120 …

Clear changes in body size‐isotope (carbon and nitrogen) trajectories of Pseudotropheus
callainos, a cichlid belonging to the endemic haplochromine species radiation in Lake …

Genetic relationships were examined for a total of 90 individuals of 90 species or species
var. from 13 genera of Malawian cichlids based on the sequences of an amplified 991‐bp …

Although all biologists recognize the value of partitioning biodiversity into recognizable units
organized into different hierarchical levels, there has been a longstanding, and at times …

Speciation is fundamental to understanding the huge diversity of life on Earth. Although still
controversial, empirical evidence suggests that the rate of speciation is larger for smaller …

Genetic variation in many invasive species shows little or no signs of a founder event,
suggesting that high genetic diversity may facilitate establishment success. The rocky‐shore …

The evolutionary processes involved in population divergence and local adaptation are
poorly understood. Theory predicts that divergence of adjacent populations is possible but …
