TL;DR: This article found an excess of gene duplications in the East African lineage compared to Nile tilapia and other teleosts, an abundance of non-coding element divergence, accelerated coding sequence evolution, expression divergence associated with transposable element insertions, and regulation by novel microRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympatric speciation in Nicaraguan crater lake cichlid fish
TL;DR: A convincing case of sympatric speciation is presented in the Midas cichlid species complex (Amphilophus sp.) in a young and small volcanic crater lake in Nicaragua and it is found that the two species in Lake Apoyo are reproductively isolated and eco-morphologically distinct.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a number of molecular mechanisms shaped East African cichlid genomes, and that amassing of standing variation during periods of relaxed purifying selection may have been important in facilitating subsequent evolutionary diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of the superflock of cichlid fishes from Lake Victoria, East Africa.
TL;DR: In this paper, a phylogenetic analysis of almost 300 DNA sequences of the mitochondrial control region of East African cichlids was performed and it was shown that the Lake Victoria Cichlid flock is derived from the geologically older Lake Kivu and that the two seeding lineages may have already been lake-adapted when they colonized Lake Victoria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergent Evolution within an Adaptive Radiation of Cichlid Fishes
TL;DR: It is shown that convergent morphologies are associated with adaptations to specific habitats and resources and that Lake Tanganyika's cichlid communities are characterized by the sympatric occurrence of convergent forms.
