Abstract excerpt
Difficulties in interpreting the evolutionary significance of Lake Malawi cichlid morphologies led us to examine molecular techniques for resolving relationships among closely related species. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation in the first half of the control region (445 bp) was examin...
