This project investigates how cichlid fish in East African Great Lakes adapt to diverse environments, focusing on the role of parasites in driving their speciation. By analyzing the Tropheini tribe, it aims to enhance understanding of biological diversity and the mechanisms behind it.
How organisms adapt to different environments and form new species is a central question in evolutionary biology.
Cichlid fish of the East-African Great Lakes are the most diverse species assemblage of vertebrates on our planet.
Even though they have become a model for speciation research, how and why they reached this enormous diversity remains difficult to explain based on current insights.
One theory is that cichlids evolved through habitat diversification (e.g. adaptation to a substrate type…
