Monogenea in deepwater Lake Tanganyika cichlids: reduced specifity or hidden diversity?
Original language description
Our study was focused on monogenean species flock in the deep water cichlids in Lake Tanganyika, African Great Rift Valley. The lake is, because of its history, from an evolutionary point of view one of the most important study areas for biodiversity scientists. Surprisingly, the knowledge about its parasitological fauna is insufficient. There are only few studies about the cichlids? monogenean fauna and only one of these provided some information about deepwater hosts. We tested the apparent decrease of the Cichlidogyrus host specifity in the deepwater habitat by multivariate statistic approaches of morphological characters and genetic characterisation by means of established markers with different rates of molecular evolution to answer the question:is the seemingly low host-specificity caused by cryptic speciation or by a real decrease in host preference? And how broad does this host range go? Fish specimens were collected during the field in 2013 which took its place along the Buru
