Functional Morphology of the Oral Jaws and Dentition Across Diverse Diets and Ontogeny in Prickleback Fishes (Stichaeidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 5, May 2026.
Prickleback fishes (Stichaeidae) feed upon diverse diets, spanning carnivory (orange), omnivory (blue), and herbivory (green). We used microCT scanning to explore the functional morphology of the oral jaws and dentition across species and ontogeny. Focal species vary by morphotype and have divergent scaling patterns across diets.

Subfossil Chironomidae from Lake Tanganyika, East Africa, 2: Chironominae (Chironomini and Tanytarsini) [PDF]

, 2003
Analysis of subfossil remains of larval Chironomidae in 38 surface-sediment samples from between 53 and 189 meter depth in Lake Tanganyika (East Africa) yielded 77 morphotypes, among which 7 Tanypodinae, 19 Orthocladiinae, and 51 Chironominae.

A new combination and typification of Pouzolzia peteri Friis (Urticaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Pouzolzia peteri, a lesser‐known species from the African continent, is currently classified as a member of the genus Pouzolzia. However, based on the morphological characteristics of its male flowers and leaf venation, its transfer to the genus Gonostegia is proposed.

An Approach for the Assessment of Climate Smart Technologies for Fisheries and Aquaculture in an Afrotropical System

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate variability and environmental stressors increasingly undermine the productivity and stability of fisheries and aquaculture systems across regions. Although technologies, such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), integrated aquaculture–agriculture (IAA), Biofloc systems and solar powered hatcheries, have been promoted as climate ...

Visual system adaptations in the cichlid fish fauna of Lake Tanganyika [PDF]

, 2023
The major goal of the present thesis was to investigate adaptations in the visual system in the massive adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in the relatively clear waters of Lake Tanganyika.

Performance of Lacustrine Protected Areas (LPAs) on Lake Victoria: A Case of Bulago, Uganda

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Bulago Lacustrine Protected Area (LPA) on Lake Victoria, Uganda, serves as a sanctuary for fish stocks and biodiversity. This study assesses fish catch per unit effort (CPUE) within LPA and in fishing grounds outside LPA. Using five years of quarterly data, CPUE outside LPA rises first, then declines due to increased effort, with southern sites ...

Translocation of the clupeid Sardinella tawilis to another lake in the Philippines: A proposal and ecological considerations [PDF]

, 2001
The dwindling commercial catch of Sardinella tawilis (Clupeidae), locally known as 'tawilis', reported in recent years by local fisher folk in Lake Taal, Batangas, Philippines, could be a result of the interaction of factors such as over fishing ...

Tanganyika Lake, Modeling the Eco-hydrodynamics

, 2012
The model consists of a four-component ecosystem model, coupled to a hydrodynamic model. The hydrodynamic model considers the Lake as two homogeneous layers of different density lying above each other, representing the warm epilimnion (surface mixed layer) and cold dense hypolimnion (lower layer) separated by a thermocline (Naithani et al., 2002, 2003)
