MHC Adaptive Divergence between Closely Related and Sympatric African Cichlids (2007)
Blais, Jonatan, Rico, Ciro, Van Oosterhout, Cock, Cable, Joanne, Turner, George F., Bernatchez, Louis
[Background] The haplochromine cichlid species assemblages of Lake Malawi and Victoria represent some of the most important study systems in evolutionary biology. Identifying adaptive divergence...

Repeated evolution of the same phenotypic difference during independent episodes of speciation is strong evidence for selection during speciation. More than 1,000 species of cichlids, >10% of the...

Many examples of the appearance of similar traits in different lineages are known during the evolution of organisms. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms have been elucidated in very few cases....

Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial (mt) DNA have indicated that the cichlid species flock of the Lake Victoria region is derived from a single ancestral species found in East African...

It has been suggested that sexual selection may have played a major role in the rapid evolution of hundreds of species of cichlid fishes in Lake Malawi. We report the results of a laboratory test of...

Female preference for conspecific males based on olfactory cues in a Lake Malawi cichlid fish
Plenderleith, Martin, Van Oosterhout, Cock, Robinson, Rosanna L, Turner, George F
Research on reproductive isolation in African cichlid fishes has largely focused on the role of nuptial colours, but other sensory modes may play an important role in mate choice. Here, we compare...
Evolution of a cichlid fish in a Lake Malawi satellite lake
Genner, Martin J, Nichols, Paul, Carvalho, Gary R, Robinson, Rosanna L, Shaw, Paul W, Smith, Alan, ...
Allopatric divergence in peripheral habitats may lead to rapid evolution of populations with novel phenotypes. In this study we provide the first evidence that isolation in peripheral habitats may...
