The Midas cichlid species complex: incipient sympatric speciation in Nicaraguan cichlid fishes?

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2004

Barluenga Marta, Meyer Axel

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Sympatric speciation is a contentious concept, although theoretical models as well as empirical evidence support its relevance in evolutionary biology. The Midas cichlid species complex (Amphilophus citrinellus, labiatus, zaliosus) from several crater lakes in Nicaragua fits several of the key characteristics of a sympatric speciation model. In particular, in A. citrinellus (i) strong assortative mating...
