Eco-morphological differentiation in Lake Magadi tilapia, an extremophile cichlid fish living in hot, alkaline and hypersaline lakes in East Africa.

Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Kautt, A. F.; Machado-Schiaffino, Gonzalo; Meyer, A. (Wiley, 2016)

Ecological diversification through divergent selection is thought to be a major force during the process of adaptive radiations. However, the large sizes and complexity of most radiations such as those of the cichlids in ...
Genomics of adaptation to multiple concurrent stresses: insights from comparative transcriptomics of a Cichlid fish from one of earth’s most extreme environments, the Hypersaline Soda Lake Magadi in Kenya, East Africa

Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Franchini, Paolo; Irisarri, Iker; Machado-Schiaffino, Gonzalo; Meyer, Axel (Springer Verlag, 2015)

The Magadi tilapia (Alcolapia grahami) is a cichlid fish that inhabits one of the Earth’s most extreme aquatic environments, with high pH (*10), salinity (*60 % of seawater), high temperatures (*40 C), and fluctuating ...
Pronounced genetic differentiation of small, isolated and fragmented tilapia populations inhabiting the Magadi Soda Lake in Kenya

Kavembe, Geraldine D.; Machado-Schiaffino, Gonzalo; Meyer, Axel (Springer Verlag, 2014-11)

Lake Magadi, an alkaline hypersaline lake in Kenya, is one of the most extreme water bodies known. Although its water temperatures often exceed 40°C, a particular lineage of ‘dwarf’ tilapia, Alcolapia grahami, has evolved ...
