Genetic and morphological analyses indicate high population mixing in the endangered cichlid Alcolapia flock of East Africa

2014-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Alcolapia is a minor genus of small-bodied, polymorphic cichlids inhabiting the lagoons and hot springs surrounding the soda lakes Natron (largely in Tanzania) and Magadi (Kenya). Three Alcolapia species are present at Natron (Alcolapia alcalicus, Alcolapia ndalalani and Alcolapia latilabris) and one at Magadi (Alcolapia grahami). All are IUCN Red Listed as either vulnerable or endangered. We performed analyses of...
