ICDP workshop on the Lake Tanganyika Scientific Drilling Project: a late Miocene–present record of climate, rifting, and ecosystem evolution from the world's oldest tropical lake [PDF]

Scientific Drilling, 2020
The Neogene and Quaternary are characterized by enormous changes in global climate and environments, including global cooling and the establishment of northern high-latitude glaciers.

A revision of the genus Astatoreochromis (Teleostei, Cichlidae), East–Africa [PDF]

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2013
A taxonomic revision of the cichlid genus Astatoreochromis is presented. Eighteen meristic and 23 morphometric measurements were taken on 185 individuals, including type specimens.

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.

First genomic study on Lake Tanganyika sprat Stolothrissa tanganicae: a lack of population structure calls for integrated management of this important fisheries target species [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Clupeid fisheries in Lake Tanganyika (East Africa) provide food for millions of people in one of the world’s poorest regions. Due to climate change and overfishing, the clupeid stocks of Lake Tanganyika are declining.

Nonapeptide molecular evolution during the adaptive radiation of Tanganyika cichlids. [PDF]

J Neuroendocrinol
Abstract Oxytocin (OT) and vasotocin (VT) are evolutionarily conserved nonapeptides that regulate a wide range of physiological and behavioral processes in vertebrates. Their receptor families have undergone gene duplications that facilitated functional diversification throughout vertebrate evolution.

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.

Adoption and consequences of new light-fishing technology (LEDs) on Lake Tanganyika, East Africa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Maintaining sustainable fisheries requires understanding the influence of technological advances on catch efficiency, as technological creep can ultimately contribute to increased efficiency.

Geographic differentiation of ectoparasitic flatworms in the pelagic zone of Lake Tanganyika, Africa [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology
Monopisthocotylan 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.

Water, Hygiene and Inequality: Keys to Understanding and Combating the Current Cholera Epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo-A Narrative Review. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aim The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is among the countries most affected by cholera in the world. Since the 1970s, endemic foci have persisted in the eastern lake provinces, where chronic armed conflict, massive population displacement, and extreme socioeconomic inequalities create particularly favorable conditions ...
