Exon-based phylogenomics and the relationships of African cichlid fishes: tackling the challenges of reconstructing phylogenies with repeated rapid radiations
African cichlids (subfamily: Pseudocrenilabrinae) are among the most diverse vertebrates,
and their propensity for repeated rapid radiation has made them a celebrated model system …

Sharing is caring? Barcoding suggests co-introduction of dactylogyrid monogeneans with Nile tilapia and transfer towards native tilapias in sub-Saharan Africa
Invasive Nile tilapias negatively impact native tilapia species through hybridisation and
competition. However, the co-introduction of parasites with Nile tilapia, and subsequent …
