Species-specific population structure in rock-specialized sympatric cichlid species in Lake Tanganyika, East Africa.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 2007

Sefc Kristina M, Baric Sanja, Salzburger Walter, Sturmbauer Christian

Abstract excerpt

Species richness and geographical phenotypic variation in East African lacustrine cichlids are often correlated with ecological specializations and limited dispersal. This study compares mitochondrial and microsatellite genetic diversity and structure among three sympatric rock-dwelling cichlids of Lake Tanganyika, Eretmodus cyanostictus, Tropheus moorii, and Ophthalmotilapia ventralis. The species represent...
