Monogenean parasites of cichlids: model systems for speciation and invasion biology?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The stunning diversity of cichlid fishes (Cichlidae) has greatly enhanced our understanding of speciation and adaptive radiation. In contrast, little is known about the evolution of the parasites that infect cichlid species. The enormous diversity of Lake Tanganyika with its cichlid and non-cichlid fish species flocks and its importance as cradle and reservoir of ancient fish lineages seeding other radiations, has resulted in a significant body of literature in the fields of biodiversity and evolution.The lake also harbours various invertebrate taxa that underwent radiation in situ. Remarkably, until recently virtually no research was carried out into the Tanganyika parasite fauna. Parasitism is the most common lifestyle on Earth in terms of species diversity, and it is established in speciation biology that parasites are prone to radiate. Hence, parasitic organisms seem a high-potential subject for speciation studies in ancient lakes.
