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.

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