Genetic basis of adaptive radiation in East African cichlids
<p>East African cichlids are a paramount example of adaptive morphological radiation. The most dramatic difference among species occurs in oral jaw design and correlates with ecological niche partitioning. Convergent evolution of trophic forms between lakes suggests a common mechanism. What …

Epigenetic variability and inheritance in East African cichlid fishes
… cichlid species forming part of the radiation of East African Lakes show a remarkable diversity of phenotypic and ecological adaptation. Despite this, recent studies highlighted that genetic diversity within the radiation is among the lowest ever observed in vertebrates. Such a high …

'An economic analysis of East African unity, 1960-2000'
… the viewpoints and differentiated outcomes of East African industries under various forms of regional integration in the forty years which followed decolonisation. Manufactured exports from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania were competitive only in the regional market, making regional integration a …

Hydrology across scales : sensitivity of East African lakes to climate changes
The lakes of the East African Rift System (EARS) have been intensively studied to better understand the influence of climate change on hydrological systems. The exceptional sensitivity of these rift lakes, however, is both a challenge and an opportunity when trying to reconstruct past climate …

Genetic variation in fast-evolving East African cichlid fishes: an evolutionary perspective
Cichlid fishes from the East African Rift lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Malawi represent a preeminent example of replicated and rapid evolutionary radiation. In this single natural system, numerous morphological (eg. jaw and tooth shape, color patterns, visual sensitivity), behavioral (eg. …
