Lake level fluctuations synchronize genetic divergences of cichlid fishes in African lakes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2001

Sturmbauer C, Baric S, Salzburger W, Rüber L, Verheyen E

Abstract excerpt

Water level fluctuations are important modulators of speciation processes in tropical lakes, in that they temporarily form or break down barriers to gene flow among adjacent populations and/or incipient species. Time estimates of the most recent major lowstands of the three African Great Lakes are thus crucial to infer the relative timescales of explosive speciation events in cichlid species flocks. Our approach...
