How many species of cichlid fishes are there in African lakes?

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2001

Turner G F, Seehausen O, Knight M E, Allender C J, Robinson R L

Abstract excerpt

The endemic cichlid fishes of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria are textbook examples of explosive speciation and adaptive radiation, and their study promises to yield important insights into these processes. Accurate estimates of species richness of lineages in these lakes, and elsewhere, will be a necessary prerequisite for a thorough comparative analysis of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing...
