Abstract
Demonstrating the Theory of Ecological Speciation in Cichlids
Highlights
Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world, provided the raw materials for investigating one of the most compelling hypotheses for the origin of species: ecological speciation
The rapid evolution of African cichlid fish driven by strong divergent selection is revealed diversity in such young species provides compelling evidence for adaptive in a gene that influences both ecological adaptation and mate choice, in keeping with ecological by-product speciation
When divergent selection on an ecological lives outside rocky crevices, but inhabits shallow waters trait affects mate choice—promoting reproductive like Pundamilia pundamilia, which live among the crevices
