Total evidence: Molecules, morphology, and the phylogenetics of cichlid fishes [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology, 2000 We present a most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the family Cichlidae. New data analyzed include mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences and two nuclear loci (Tmo-M27 and Tmo-4C4) for a large taxonomic sampling with emphasis on South American species. We also incorporate a published morphological data set for a total evidence analysis.
