Trophic divergence of Lake Kivu cichlid fishes along a pelagic versus littoral habitat axis
Abstract Local adaptation to the littoral and pelagic zones in two cichlid haplochromine fish species from Lake Kivu was investigated using morphometrics. Cranial variation and inferred jaw mechanics in both sexes of the two species across the two habitat types were quantified and compared. Comparis...
