Thanks to high species diversity and a broad range of speciation mechanisms, cichlid fishes
represent a textbook model in evolutionary biology. They are also of substantial economic …

Invasive Nile tilapias negatively impact native tilapia species through hybridisation and
competition. However, the co-introduction of parasites with Nile tilapia, and subsequent …

The origin of introduced Nile tilapia stocks in sub-Saharan Africa is largely unknown. In this
