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 ...

Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 Background The African Great Lakes have long been recognized as an excellent location to study speciation. Most famously, cichlid fishes have radiated in Lake Tanganyika and subsequently spread into Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria, where they again ...

Back to Tanganyika: a case of recent trans-species-flock dispersal in East African haplochromine cichlid fishes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The species flocks of cichlid fishes in the East African Great Lakes are the largest vertebrate adaptive radiations in the world and illustrious textbook examples of convergent evolution between independent species assemblages.

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin: experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 In terminal Pliocene–early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7–2.4 Ma or that of 2.0–1.8 Ma.

New haplochromine cichlid from the upper Miocene (9–10 MYA) of Central Kenya
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background The diversification process known as the Lake Tanganyika Radiation has given rise to the most speciose clade of African cichlids. Almost all cichlid species found in the lakes Tanganyika, Malawi and Victoria, comprising a total of 12–16 tribes,

Comparative ecology and phylogeography in east African cichild fishes [PDF]
, 2014 Since almost two decades speciation outbursts, so-called adaptive radiations, have been put forward as a major reason for a large portion of the bio-diversity we see today.
