Monogamy in the maternally mouthbrooding Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish Tropheus moorii.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 2006

Egger Bernd, Obermüller Beate, Phiri Harris, Sturmbauer Christian, Sefc Kristina M

Abstract excerpt

Supported by evidence for assortative mating and polygynandry, sexual selection through mate choice was suggested as the main force driving the evolution of colour diversity of haplochromine cichlids in Lakes Malawi and Victoria. The phylogenetically closely related tribe Tropheini of Lake Tanganyika includes the genus Tropheus, which comprises over 100 colour variants currently classified into six...
