Abstract:Tropical freshwater lakes are well-known for their high biodiversity,
and the East African Great Lakes in particular are renowned for their
endemic cichlid fish adaptive radiations. While comparative phylogenetic
analyses of extant species flocks have revealed patterns and processes
of their diversification, evolutionary trajectories within lineages,
impacts of environmental drivers, or the scope and nature of now-extinct
diversity remain largely unknown. Time-structured paleodata from
geologically young fossi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
