Tel: (32) 2 769 56 28, Fax: (32) 2 769 56 42(e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The cichlid faunas of the large East African lakes pro vide many fascina ting research tapies. They are unique because of the large number of species involved and the ir exceptional degree ofendemicity. In addition, certain taxa exhibit a substantial degree of intra~lacustrine endemism. These features al one make the Great African Lakes the largest centers of biodiversity in the vertebrate world. The numbers of cichlid species in these lakes are considered from different angles. A review is given of the data available on the tempo of their speciation, and sorne of the biological implications of its explosive character are discussed. The confusion in the definition of many genera is illustrated and the current methodology of phylogenetic research briefly commented upon. Theresults of the systematic research within the SADC/GEFLake Malawi/NyasaBiodiversity Conservation Project are discussed.

Two crude proteins (38%CP and 56%CP) and two crude lipids (9%CL and 16%CL) rates were applied to four formulated diets: R1 (38%CP:16%CL), R2 (38%CP:9%CL), R3 (56%CP:16%CL) and R4 (56%CP:9%CL). The SR was 100% in H. ahli while that of P. socolofi ranged from 66.6% to 93.3% in the two groups, respectively. The highest WG and SGR were seen in the H. ahli and P. socolofi groups fed with R2 feed. The best FCR values were obtained in R2 groups of H. ahli (1.64) and R groups of P. socolofi (1.41).

  • The Identity of Pseudotropheus Elongatus, with the Description of P. Longior from Mbamba Bay, Tanzania, and Notes on Genyochromis Mento (Teleostei: Cichlidae)

Collections from Mbamba Bay revealed that at least two elongate Pseudotropheus species co-occur. The two extant syntypes of P. elongatus belong to the two species from Mbamba Bay. The specimen pictured by Fryer (1956) is selected as lectotype. The other species is described here as P. longior, new species. A third elongate cichlid, frequent at Mbamba Bay, is Genyochromis menta; some observations on this fish are included. 1956 beschrieb Fryer Pseudotropheus elongatus von Mbamba Bay, Tanzania, wahrend in der Literatur bisher eine Form aus dem P. elongatus-Komplex von Nkhata Bay, Malawi, als P. elongatus im Sinne der Typen angesehen wurde. In Mbamba Bay gibt es zwei gestreckte Pseudotropheus-Arten. Die beiden existierenden Syntypen gehoren unterschiedlichen Taxa an, namlich jeweils einer der beiden bei Mbamba Bay vorkommenden gestreckten Pseudotropheus-Arten. Als Lectotypus fur P. elongatus wurde das Exemplar festgelegt, das von Fryer (1956) abgebildet wurde. Die andere Pseudotropheus-Art wird hier als Pseudotropheus longior n. sp. beschrieben. Eine dritte gestreckte Cichlidenart, die in Mbamba Bay haufig vorkommt, ist Genyochromis menta Trewavas, 1935. Zu dieser Art werden einige Beobachtungen mitgeteilt.

  • On the Adaptive Function of Repeatedly Evolved Hypertrophied Lips of Cichlid fishes
    Erschienen in: Biological Journal of the Linnean Society ; 115 (2015), 2. - S. 448-455 https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/bij.12502 What big lips are good for: on the adaptive function of repeatedly evolved hypertrophied lips of cichlid fishes LUKAS BAUMGARTEN†, GONZALO MACHADO-SCHIAFFINO, FREDERICO HENNING and AXEL MEYER* Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, Universitaetsstrasse 10, 78457 Konstanz, Germany Linking phenotypic traits to an adaptive ecological function is a major goal of evolutionary biology. However, this task is challenging and has been accomplished in only a handful of species and ecological model systems. The repeatedly evolved adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes are composed of an enormously diverse set of species that differ in trophic morphology, body shape, coloration, and behaviour. Ecological guilds of species with conspicuously hypertrophied lips have evolved in parallel in all major cichlid radiations and are characterized by large lips and pointed and narrow heads. In the present study, we experimentally tested the adaptive significance of this set of conspicuous traits by comparing the success of hypertrophied-lipped and closely-related thin-lipped endemic Lake Victoria cichlids in a novel foraging assay. The hypertrophied-lipped species (Haplochromis chilotes) was clearly more successful in exploiting food resources from narrow crevices and the observed difference in foraging success increased more at narrower angles. Furthermore, pronounced differences in exploratory behaviour between the species suggest that the evolution of hypertrophied-lipped species involved the co-evolution of a suite of traits that include foraging behaviour. The repeated evolution of hypertrophied-lip morphology in conjunction with a narrow and pointed head shape in cichlids represents an evolutionary innovation that facilitates foraging in rocky crevices, thus allowing access to a novel niche.

  • The African Butterfly Peacock Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi “Eureka Red” by John Moyles
    The African Butterfly Peacock Aulonocara jacobfreibergi “Eureka Red” By John Moyles Aulonocara jacobfreibergi (Johnson, 1974) is also called the African butterfly peacock and the fairy peacock. They are endemic to Malawi and are found throughout the lake of the same name. There are several geographical variants of the Aulonocara species in the hobby, including Eureka, Mamela, Otter Point, Hongi Island, Cape Kaiser, Lemon Jake, among others. These should never be housed together as they will readily cross-breed. Only one geographical race should be kept in the same aquarium. Description Males of this species differ from most other Peacocks in their broad, wide white dorsal and caudal fin margins. Females are easily confused with other peacock females, because they are grayish-brown in color with vertical banding on the body and have rounded anal and dorsal fins. Butterfly peacocks are further distinguished from other Peacocks by their large size. They can grow to lengths of up to 8 or 9 inches, but often can breed at half that size. Another distinguishing characteristic of the Butterfly Peacock is its moderate to deeply forked tail fin, which gives it the appearance of a swallow's tail. The “Eureka” variant is an aquarium strain that was developed by line breeding specimens from Otter Point, Malawi. The males have blue throughout head, body and fins. Lower half of the head is blue and the upper part of the dorsal region is orange/red. Anal fin may show red. Dorsal fin has the trademark white/light blue blaze. Diet Butterfly peacocks are specialized feeders. In the wild they mostly consume zooplankton (insect larvae and crustaceans) in the wild.

Současně bývá opomíjen i vliv sociálního prostředí a zkuše- nosti na tyto taktiky, a studium schopnosti jedinců v průběhu námluv mas- kovat své morfologické nedostatky. Jako studovaný systém alternativních rozmnožovacích taktik byl zvolen v přírodě nejběžnější komplex – sneaker × guarder (courter) komplex, popisující teritoriální a neteritoriální role samců.
