The known distribution of the parasitic crustaceans of African freshwater fishes, which now
include some 80 more or less adequately described taxa, is summarized, and the significance
of some of the patterns which they ...
The anatomy and phylogenetic relationships of two genera of African cichlid fishes, Rhamphochromis
from Lake Malawi and Bathybates from Lake Tanganyika, are investigated. In accordance with the
current methods o f cladistic ...
Background: Non-indigenous taxa currently represent a large fraction of the species and biomass of freshwater

takes place in the buccal pouch o f the female until such time
as juveniles are formed. Hatching from the vitelline membrane
occurs early, after 6 days o f ...
Lake Malawi contains a long continuous sedimentary record o f climate change in the southern hemisphere
African tropics. We develop a stratigraphic framework o f this basin over the last ~ 150 ka by integrating
several ...
The great lakes of the East African Rift Valley are among the
most promising of the large lakes of the world for providing the
best records of global climatic and environmental change in the
