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,

Unusual massive phytoplankton bloom in the oligotrophic Lake Tanganyika [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background and aims – Massive algae growth resulting in a phytoplankton bloom is a very rare event in the meromictic and oligotrophic Lake Tanganyika. Such a bloom was observed in the north of the lake in September 2018. Phytoplankton species composition
