Evolution of feeding specialization in Tanganyikan scale-eating cichlids: a molecular phylogenetic approach
BACKGROUND: Cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika exhibit remarkable diversity in their feeding habits. Among them, seven species in the genus Perissodus are known for their unique feeding habit of scale eating with specialized feeding morphology and behaviour. Although the origin of the scale-eating ha...
