Nuclear and mitochondrial data reveal different evolutionary processes in the Lake Tanganyika cichlid genus Tropheus (2007)

Egger, Bernd, Koblmüller, Stephan, Sturmbauer, Christian, Sefc, Kristina M

Abstract Background Cichlid fishes are notorious for their wealth of intra- and interspecific colour pattern diversity. In Lake Tanganyika, the endemic genus Tropheus represents the most impressive...

Reticulate phylogeny of gastropod-shell-breeding cichlids from Lake Tanganyika – the result of repeated introgressive hybridization (2007)

Koblmüller, Stephan, Duftner, Nina, Sefc, Kristina M, Aibara, Mitsuto, Stipacek, Martina, Blanc, Michel, ...

Abstract Background The tribe Lamprologini is the major substrate breeding lineage of Lake Tanganyika's cichlid species flock. Among several different life history strategies found in lamprologines,...

Phylogenetic relationships of African sunbird-like warblers: Moho (Hypergerus atriceps), Green Hylia (Hylia prasina) and Tit-hylia (Pholidornis rushiae) (1970)

Pholidornis, Hylia and Hypergerus are monotypic songbird genera that share insectivorous feeding habits and a common habitat in West African forests. Each of these genera has some sunbird-like...

Monogamy in the maternally mouthbrooding Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish Tropheus moorii

Egger, Bernd, Obermüller, Beate, Phiri, Harris, Sturmbauer, Christian, Sefc, Kristina M

Supported by evidence for assortative mating and polygynandry, sexual selection through mate choice was suggested as the main force driving the evolution of colour diversity of haplochromine cichlids...
