Genetic divergence, speciation and morphological stasis in a lineage of African cichlid fishes.

Nature - 13 Aug 1992

Sturmbauer C, Meyer A

Abstract excerpt

Since their discovery at the turn of the century, the species assemblages of cichlid fishes in the East African Lakes Victoria, Malawi and Tanganyika have fascinated evolutionary biologists. Many models have attempted to account for the 'explosive' evolution of several hundred species within these lakes. Here we report a case of surprisingly large genetic divergence among populations of the endemic Tropheus...
