• An assessment of animal species diversity in continental waters (2005, background): “tanganicae is endemic to Lake Tanganyika (Coulter, 1991).”
• The distribution and ecology of the fresh- and brackish-water medusae of the world (2004, background): “In such circumstances, Limnocnida predation might explain the saw-toothed aspect of year-to-year catch diagrams of the tanganyika sardines (Roest, 1985, 1987; Coulter, 1991).”
• Depth gradients in food-web processes linking habitats in large lakes: Lake Superior as an exemplar ecosystem (2014, background): “offshore and benthic species (Fryer & Iles, 1972; Coulter, 1991; Konings, 2007).”
• The Lake Tanganyika cichlid species assemblage: recent advances in molecular phylogenetics (2008, background): “While the cichlid species radiation in Lake Tanganyika enjoys a longstanding reputation among biologists, the lake’s small flocks of other organisms— catfish, spiny eels, Nile perches, as well as groups of gastropods, crabs, and shrimps (Coulter, 1991)—have been less intensively studied.”

• The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “In Lake Tanganyika, where the main fi shery has been for pelagic species, the initial impact was a reported steady reduction in all Lates species and an increase in clupeids (Coulter 1991).”
• Global diversity of copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) in freshwater (2007, background): “For copepods, Lake Baikal with over 120 species, the majority of which are endemic (Boxshall & Evstigneeva, 1994), and Lake Tanganyika with 69 species, of which 34 (49%) are endemic (Coulter, 1991; Boxshall & Strong, 2006), constitute prime hotspots. In both the copepod fauna comprises several speci”
