A revision of the Tropheus complex from Lake Tanganyika: lessons and caveats in cichlid systematics.
Original language description
The endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid genus Tropheus Boulenger 1898 consists of highly stenotypic rock dwellers, whose limited capacity for dispersal gave rise to over a hundred colour morphs. This made Tropheus an important model for evolutionary research. Yet, the genus? taxonomy is confusing with most species being ill-defined and with many populations that cannot be unambiguously assigned to a valid species. As such, a revision of the genus is needed. Notwithstanding its high chromatic and genetic differentiation, the general morphology of Tropheus was, until recently, reported to be static. This hypothesis of morphological stasis was investigated in Tropheus duboisi Marlier 1959, an early diverged Tropheus that displays only minor intra-specific differences in colour pattern and is less stenotypic than its congeners. The results, however, revealed significant morphological differentiation between geographically isolated populations.
