Evolution of body shape in sympatric versus non-sympatric Tropheus populations of Lake Tanganyika.

Heredity - 1 Feb 2014

Kerschbaumer M, Mitteroecker P, Sturmbauer C

Abstract excerpt

Allopatric speciation often yields ecologically equivalent sister species, so that their secondary admixis enforces competition. The shores of Lake Tanganyika harbor about 120 distinct populations of the cichlid genus Tropheus, but only some are sympatric. When alone, Tropheus occupies a relative...
