CICHLIFORMES: Cichlidae (part 5) · 1 The ETYFish Project © Christopher Scharpf and Kenneth J. Lazara COMMENTS: v. 10.0 - 11 May 2021 Order CICHLIFORMES (part 5 of 8) Family CICHLIDAE Cichlids (part 5 of 7) Subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae African Cichlids (Palaeoplex through Yssichromis) Palaeoplex Schedel, Kupriyanov, Katongo & Schliewen 2020 palaeoplex, a key concept in geoecodynamics representing the total genomic variation of a given species in a given landscape, the analysis of which theoretically allows for the reconstruction of that species’ history; since the distribution of P. palimpsest is tied to an ancient landscape (upper Congo River drainage, Zambia), the name refers to its potential to elucidate the complex landscape evolution of that region via its palaeoplex Palaeoplex palimpsest Schedel, Kupriyanov, Katongo & Schliewen 2020 named for how its palaeoplex (see genus) is like a palimpsest (a parchment manuscript page, common in medieval times that has been overwritten after layers of old handwritten letters had been scraped off, in which the old letters are often still visible), revealing how changes in its landscape and/or ecological conditions affected gene flow and left genetic signatures by overwriting the genome several times, whereas remnants of more ancient genomic signatures still persist in the background; this has led to contrasting hypotheses regarding this cichlid’s phylogenetic position Pallidochromis Turner 1994 pallidus, pale, referring to pale coloration of all specimens observed at the time; chromis, a name -
Checklist of the Cichlid Fishes of Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa)
Checklist of the Cichlid Fishes of Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa/Niassa) by M.K. Oliver, Ph.D. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Checklist of the Cichlid Fishes of Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa/Niassa) by Michael K. Oliver, Ph.D. Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University Updated 24 June 2020 First posted June 1999 The cichlids of Lake Malawi constitute the largest vertebrate species flock and largest lacustrine fish fauna on earth. This list includes all cichlid species, and the few subspecies, that have been formally described and named. Many–several hundred–additional endemic cichlid species are known but still undescribed, and this fact must be considered in assessing the biodiversity of the lake. Recent estimates of the total size of the lake’s cichlid fauna, counting both described and known but undescribed species, range from 700–843 species (Turner et al., 2001; Snoeks, 2001; Konings, 2007) or even 1000 species (Konings 2016). Additional undescribed species are still frequently being discovered, particularly in previously unexplored isolated locations and in deep water. The entire Lake Malawi cichlid metaflock is composed of two, possibly separate, endemic assemblages, the “Hap” group and the Mbuna group. Neither has been convincingly shown to be monophyletic. Membership in one or the other, or nonendemic status, is indicated in the checklist below for each genus, as is the type species of each endemic genus. The classification and synonymies are primarily based on the Catalog of Fishes with a few deviations. All synonymized genera and species should now be listed under their senior synonym. Nearly all species are endemic to L. Malawi, in some cases extending also into the upper Shiré River including Lake Malombe and even into the middle Shiré. -

Lethrinops Micretodon Makokola
view_in_browser Lethrinops Micretodon Makokola Lethrinops Micretodon Makokola « HAUTE QUALITÉ» 8 / 10 cm l’unité 22 € HABITAT Les Lethrinopssont endémiques du lac Malawi. Ils occupent environ 95% de l'espace vital possible pour les poissons de fond, signant par là une excellente adaptation à leur environnement. On les retrouve à des profondeurs très variables allant de quelques dizaines de centimètres ( Lethrinops lethrinus) à - 140 mètres ( Lethrinops longipinnis). Leur mode d'alimentation les maintient dans les zones sableuses ou sédimentaires mais également les zones intermédiaires. ALIMENTATION Les Lethrinops possèdent des dents nes qui tamisent le sédiment. Leur museau allongé les aide à enfoncer la tête dans le sable puis à le recracher par la bouche et les ouies, récupérant au passage les insectes et crustacés qui s'y trouvent. Ils sont souvent observés en grands bancs se nourrissant sur le sol, ce qui les met en sécurité vis à vis des prédateurs. Ils sont en eet moins vulnérables parmi des centaines de congénères plutôt qu'isolés. Trois espèces se nourrissent de diatomées: Lethrinops microdon, Lethrinops micrentodon et Lethrinops stridei. Lethrinops stridei est l'espèce la plus abondante des trois et se nourrit également de zooplancton à mi-eau quand il est abondant. Lethrinops microdon vit principalement dans le bras sud est du lac, dans une zone où il se produit régulièrement des dépôts de diatomées. La couche de sédiment de diatomées atteint ici jusqu'à 20 mètres d'épaisseur, ce qui explique que cette espèce n'a pas besoin de chercher plus loin sa nourriture. Quelques Lethrinops se nourrissent également d'escargots. -

Stauffer, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Ichthyology Thesis Adviser Walter Tzilkowski Associate Professor Emeritus of Wildlife Wilson Lazaro Jere Senior Lecturer of Fish Genetics Jeremy Likongwe Associate Professor of Fisheries Sciences Michael G. Massina Head and Professor Department of Ecosystems Science and Management *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT A review of the described species of the genus Diplotaxodon Trewavas 1935, deep water (offshore) fishes endemic to Lake Malaŵi, was conducted and included the description of two new species. Diplotaxodon spp. represent another example of the rapid radiation of the Haplochromine species in Lake Malaŵi. Fishes were collected from Domira Bay and Senga Bay. Morphometric and meristic differences among spp. were analyzed using Sheared Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) for the morphometric data and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for the meristic data. To date seven species of Diplotaxodon are formally described. The investigations from this study resulted into describing two new species which were known by cheironym. iii TABLE OF -

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3'). The region between 7 300 bp and 12 300 bp was amplified using primers ZM7300F (5'-GCA CAT CCC TCC CAA CTA GGW TTT CAA GAT GC-3') and ZM12300R (5'-TTG CAC CAA GAG TTT TTG GTT CCT AAG ACC-3').
