To date, about 330 currently recognized species have been described from the
haplochromine cichlid species flock endemic to Lake Malaŵi, Africa. Several hundred …

Describes the isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from the European hake.
Species that is widely distributed in the northeast Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea; …

The radiation of the East African cichlid fishes has engaged biologists for over a century.
Because so much taxonomic diversity has evolved recently, they are an ideal natural system …

Hybridization among littoral cichlid species in Lake Tanganyika was inferred in several
molecular phylogenetic studies. The phenomenon is generally attributed to the lake level …

The cichlid fish Metriaclima zebra, common in Lake Malawi, feeds by filtering plankton from
the water and by brushing items from sediment covered substrata. It inhabits isolated rocky …

Small but significant differences were found in allele frequencies among five populations
(overall FST estimate (θ)= 0· 004, P= 0· 006; overall RST estimate (RHO)= 0· 019, P< 0 …

A long-standing debate in ecology addresses whether community composition is the result
of stochastic factors or assembly rules. Non-random, over-dispersed patterns of species co …

While the debate over species concepts and criteria affects all organisms on Earth, no group
of organisms demonstrates a need for a consilient, universal species concept better than the …

To test the hypothesis of parallel speciation by sexual selection, we examined length
variation at six microsatellite loci of samples from four sites of four to six putative species …

This chapter summarizes 200 years of the study of cichlid fishes, ranging from the first
descriptions of South American and African species in early natural histories to the work of …
