Cichlid fishes as models of ecological diversification: patterns, mechanisms, and consequences
ED Burress - Hydrobiologia, 2015 - Springer
Cichlid fishes are hypothesized to encompass several independent adaptive radiations that
display increased diversification rates and impressive ecological heterogeneity. Here, I …

Revision of the generic classification of pike cichlids using an integrative phylogenetic approach (Cichlidae: tribe Geophagini: subtribe Crenicichlina)
Pike cichlids form the largest clade of Neotropical cichlids, with over 100 species presently
classified in two genera: Crenicichla (93 species widespread in rivers of South America east …
