Mitochondrial phylogeny and phylogeography of East African squeaker catfishes (Siluriformes: Synodontis) (2006)

Koblmüller, Stephan, Sturmbauer, Christian, Verheyen, Erik, Meyer, Axel, Salzburger, Walter

Abstract Background Squeaker catfishes (Pisces, Mochokidae, Synodontis ) are widely distributed throughout Africa and inhabit a biogeographic range similar to that of the exceptionally diverse...

Mitochondrial phylogeny of African wood mice, genus Hylomyscus (Rodentia, Muridae): Implications for their taxonomy and biogeography (2006)

Nicolas, Violaine, Querouil, Sandrine, Verheyen, Erik, Verheyen, Walter, Mboumba, Jean-François, Dillen, M., ...

This paper investigates the usefulness of two mitochondrial genes (16S rRNA and cytochrome b) to solve taxonomical difficulties within the genus Hylomyscus and to infer its evolutionary history. Both...

Out of Tanganyika: Genesis, explosive speciation, key-innovations and phylogeography of the haplochromine cichlid fishes (2005)

Salzburger, Walter, Mack, Tanja, Verheyen, Erik, Meyer, Axel

Abstract Background The adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes in East Africa are well known for their spectacular diversity and their astonishingly fast rates of speciation. About 80% of all 2,500...

Replicated evolution of trophic specializations in an endemic cichlid fish lineage from Lake Tanganyika

Rüber, Lukas, Verheyen, Erik, Meyer, Axel

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 morphologies derived...
