Lake Tanganyika--a 'melting pot' of ancient and young cichlid lineages (Teleostei: Cichlidae)? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A long history of research focused on the East Africa cichlid radiations (EAR) revealed discrepancies between mtDNA and nuclear phylogenies, suggesting that interspecific hybridisation may have been significant during the radiation of these fishes.

Geographic differentiation of ectoparasitic flatworms in the pelagic zone of Lake Tanganyika, Africa [PDF]
Frontiers in ZoologyMonopisthocotylan parasites have been proposed as tags for studying host population structure due to their direct life cycles and short generation times. However, their effectiveness in reflecting host population connectivity remains under scrutiny.

Marine incursion: the freshwater herring of Lake Tanganyika are the product of a marine invasion into west Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 The spectacular marine-like diversity of the endemic fauna of Lake Tanganyika, the oldest of the African Great Lakes, led early researchers to suggest that the lake must have once been connected to the ocean.

Scientific Drilling at Lake Tanganyika, Africa: A Transformative Record for Understanding Evolution in Isolation and the Biological History of the African Continent, University of Basel, 6–8 June 2016 [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2017 We report on the outcomes of a workshop held to discuss evolutionary biology, paleobiology and paleoecology questions that could be addressed by a scientific drilling project at Lake Tanganyika, the largest, deepest and oldest of the African Rift Valley ...
