Genetic isolation and morphological divergence mediated by high-energy rapids in two cichlid genera from the lower Congo rapids.

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 May 2010

Markert Jeffrey A, Schelly Robert C, Stiassny Melanie Lj

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is hypothesized that one of the mechanisms promoting diversification in cichlid fishes in the African Great Lakes has been the well-documented pattern of philopatry along shoreline habitats leading to high levels of genetic isolation among populations. However lake habitats are not the only centers of cichlid biodiversity - certain African rivers also contain large numbers of narrowly endemic...
