  • 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.

O. Box 219, Lilongwe, Malawi. 2Molecular Biology and Ecology Research Unit (MBERU) DNA Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Chancellor College, University of Malawi, P. O. Box 280, Zomba, Malawi. Received 24 March, 2017; Accepted 19 May, 2017 Fisheries management continues to be a nightmare due to over exploitation of fish stocks and various anthropogenic activities resulting in a reduction of genetic resources. Opsaridium microlepis, a commercially exploited fish species from Lake Malawi, is no exception, hence it is listed as endangered. Opsaridium microlepis stocks from four different rivers were analyzed using 13 geometric morphometric landmarks and 20 microsatellite loci, to determine if the stocks were morphologically and/or genetically different. AMOVA performed on DNA data revealed a significant (P < 0.001) genetic differentiation with 16.4% of the total genetic variance ascribed to differences among populations, and 83.6% due to differences within population. This finding was supported by higher pairwise FST values (FST = 0.17). MANOVA of morphological data showed significant body shape variation among the stocks (Wilk’s λ = 0.0913; P < 0.0001).

    Testing the potential of environmental DNA methods for surveying Lake Tanganyika's highly diverse fish communities Christopher James Doble A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment University College London April 2020 1 Declaration I, Christopher James Doble, confirm the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm this has been indicated in the thesis. Christopher James Doble Date: 27/04/2020 2 Statement of authorship I planned and undertook fieldwork to the Kigoma region of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania in 2016 and 2017. This included obtaining research permits, collecting environmental DNA samples and undertaking fish community visual survey data used in Chapters three and four. For Chapter two, cichlid reference database sequences were sequenced by Walter Salzburger’s research group at the University of Basel. I extracted required regions from mitochondrial genome alignments during a visit to Walter’s research group. Other reference sequences were obtained by Sanger sequencing. I undertook the DNA extractions and PCR amplifications for all samples, with the clean-up and sequencing undertaken by the UCL Sequencing facility. I undertook the method development, DNA extractions, PCR amplifications and library preparations for each of the next generation sequencing runs in Chapters three and four at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility Sheffield. Following training by Helen Hipperson at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility in Sheffield, I undertook the bioinformatic analysis of sequence data in Chapters three and four. I also carried out all the data analysis within each chapter. Chapters two, three and parts of four have formed a manuscript recently published in Environmental DNA (Doble et al.

  • Did Hypertrophied Lips Evolve Once Or Repeatedly in Lake Malawi Cichlid Fishes? C
    Erschienen in: BMC Evolutionary Biology ; 18 (2018). - 179 http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1296-9 Darrin Hulsey et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:179 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1296-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenomics of a putatively convergent novelty: did hypertrophied lips evolve once or repeatedly in Lake Malawi cichlid fishes? C. Darrin Hulsey1* , Jimmy Zheng2, Roi Holzman3, Michael E. Alfaro2, Melisa Olave1 and Axel Meyer1 Abstract Background: Phylogenies provide critical information about convergence during adaptive radiation. To test whether there have been multiple origins of a distinctive trophic phenotype in one of the most rapidly radiating groups known, we used ultra-conserved elements (UCEs) to examine the evolutionary affinities of Lake Malawi cichlids lineages exhibiting greatly hypertrophied lips. Results: The hypertrophied lip cichlids Cheilochromis euchilus, Eclectochromis ornatus, Placidochromis “Mbenji fatlip”, and Placidochromis milomo areallnestedwithinthenon-mbunacladeofMalawi cichlids based on both concatenated sequence and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) inferred phylogenies. Lichnochromis acuticeps that exhibits slightly hypertrophied lips also appears to have evolutionary affinities to this group. However, Chilotilapia rhoadesii that lacks hypertrophied lips was recovered as nested within the species Cheilochromis euchilus. Species tree reconstructions and analyses of introgression provided largely ambiguous patterns of Malawi cichlid evolution. Conclusions: Contrary to mitochondrial DNA phylogenies, bifurcating trees based on our 1024 UCE loci supported close affinities of Lake Malawi lineages with hypertrophied lips. However, incomplete lineage sorting in Malawi tends to render these inferences more tenuous. Phylogenomic analyses will continue to provide powerful inferences about whether phenotypic novelties arose once or multiple times during adaptive radiation.
