Rapid sympatric ecological differentiation of crater lake cichlid fishes within historic times.

BMC biology - 12 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: After a volcano erupts, a lake may form in the cooled crater and become an isolated aquatic ecosystem. This makes fishes in crater lakes informative for understanding sympatric evolution and ecological diversification in barren environments. From a geological and limnological perspective, such research offers insight about the process of crater lake ecosystem establishment and speciation. In the...
