The Evolution of the Pro-Domain of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 ( Bmp4 ) in an Explosively Speciated Lineage of East African Cichlid Fishes

1 Sept 2002

Abstract excerpt

Lakes Victoria, Malawi, and Tanganyika in the East African Rift Valley harbor approximately 200, 400, and 170 endemic species of cichlid fishes, respectively (Fryer and Iles 1972, pp. 1–104; Greenwood 1984,1991 ), which provide spectacular examples of the explosive adaptive radiation of living vertebrates (Fryer and Iles 1972 ; Greenwood 1984 ). The fishes exploit almost all resources that are available to...
