• Evolution of the tribe Tropheini from Lake Tanganyika: synchronized explosive speciation producing multiple evolutionary parallelism (2003, background): “The cichlid fishes of the Great Lakes in the East African rift valley represent a prime model system for the study of adaptive radiation (Fryer & Iles, 1972; Mayr, 1984; Greenwood, 1984; Coulter et al., 1986; Rossiter, 1995; Sturmbauer, 1998; Kornfield & Smith, 2000 ).”
• African cichlid fish: a model system in adaptive radiation research (2006, background): “…characterizing the nature of cichlid radiations has progressed on multiple fronts, as evidenced by several recent reviews (Stiassny & Meyer 1999; Kornfield & Smith 2000; Seehausen 2000; Danley & Kocher 2001; Markert et al. 2001; Turner et al. 2001; Kocher 2004; Salzburger & Meyer 2004; Van…”
• Phylogeny, taxonomy, and evolution of Neotropical cichlids (Teleostei: Cichlidae: Cichlinae) (2008, background): “Cichlids are a species-rich clade of acanthomorph fishes that have captured the attention of ecologists, ethologists, and micro- and macroevolutionary biologists (Keenleyside, 1991; Barlow, 2000; Kornfield and Smith, 2000).”
• Coexistence of the niche and neutral perspectives in community ecology. (2006, background): “In this regard, many examples of fantastically diverse animal taxa such as African lake cichlids (McKaye 1991, Seehausen et al. 1997, Kornfield and Smith 2000, Turner et al. 2001) and Hawaiian Drosophila (Kaneshiro 1988, Boake 2002) are thought to have diversified primarily by sexual selection.”
• Sounds of male Lake Victoria cichlids vary within and between species and affect female mate preferences (2010, background): “In cichlid fish, mate choice is an important factor in the evolution of their large numbers of species (Kornfield and Smith 2000; Kocher 2004; Seehausen et al. 2008).”
• The Lake Tanganyika cichlid species assemblage: recent advances in molecular phylogenetics (2008, background): “…diversification of cichlids is their highly specialized reproductive behavior (Crapon de Crapona, 1986), in particular, the various modes of brood-care behavior found in the East African cichlids (Fryer & Iles, 1972; Goodwin et al., 1998; Barlow, 2000; Kornfield & Smith, 2000; Klett & Meyer, 2002).”
• Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “The most famous case of replicated adaptive radiation is the cichlids of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa (reviewed in Fryer and Iles 1972; Stiassny and Meyer 1999; Kornfield and Smith 2000; Kocher 2004; Salzburger and Meyer 2004; Salzburger et al. 2005; Seehausen 2006; Genner et al. 2007).”
