Trophic specialisation reflected by radular tooth material properties in an “ancient” Lake Tanganyikan gastropod species flock

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Lake Tanganyika belongs to the East African Great Lakes and is well known for harbouring a high proportion of endemic and morphologically distinct genera, in cichlids but also in paludomid gastropods.

Trait coevolution and causal inference using generalized dynamic phylogenetic models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1818-1836, June 2026.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods are widely used to study trait coevolution across biological and cultural domains. The most common methods are phylogenetic generalized linear (mixed) models, phylogenetic path analysis, Pagel's ‘discrete’ method and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models. While some frameworks like generalized linear mixed models are quite

Diazotrophic Cyanobacteria are Associated With a Low Nitrate Resupply to Surface Waters in Lake Tanganyika

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
In Lake Tanganyika, blooms of nitrogen-fixing (diazotrophic) cyanobacteria emerge, when the upper water column re-stratifies after a period of upwelling and convective mixing.

A review of the uptake of sustainable climate‐smart aquaculture in sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract As climate change reshapes agriculture and food systems across the globe, aquaculture in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) is at a turning point. Sustainable climate‐smart aquaculture (SCSAq) aims to make fish farming more productive, resilient to climate change, and environmentally friendly while also improving livelihoods and nutrition.

Novel complete mitochondrial genomes of eight riverine Lamprologus species (Actinopterygii, Cichlidae) suggest in-situ speciation of the blind cichlid L. lethops in the lower Congo River

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Lamprologine cichlids include nearly 100 species from Lake Tanganyika, but only nine are known from the Congo River, including Lamprologus lethops, the only known blind cichlid. Little is known about its natural history.

Expression variations in ectodysplasin-A gene (eda) may contribute to morphological divergence of scales in haplochromine cichlids

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Elasmoid scales are one of the most common dermal appendages and can be found in almost all species of bony fish differing greatly in their shape.

The Rise and Fall of Lake Tanganyika [PDF]

Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1893
Perhaps I may be permitted to offer a few remarks concerning Mr. A. Carson's interesting paper, published in vol. xlviii, of this Journal, p. 401. That author regards the rise and fall of Lake Tanganyika as a purely local phenomenon, due to alterations of its outlet, the Lukuga, which was blocked up a long time ago, but reopened between the years 1874 ...
