On the origin of Lake Malawi cichlid species: a population genetic analysis of divergence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 May 2005

Won Yong-Jin, Sivasundar Arjun, Wang Yong, Hey Jody

Abstract excerpt

The cichlid fishes of Lake Malawi are famously diverse. However, phylogenetic and population genetic studies of their history have been difficult because of the great amount of genetic variation that is shared between species. We apply a recently developed method for fitting the "isolation with migration" divergence model to a data set of specially designed compound loci to develop portraits of cichlid species...
