• Behavioral dominance between female color morphs of a Lake Victoria cichlid fish (2009, unknown): “Many sibling species or conspecific color morphs coexist in the same local community with marked differences in male nuptial coloration but little else (Seehausen 2000; Kocher 2004; Genner and Turner 2005).”
• Integrating morphology and mitochondrial DNA for species delimitation within the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) cryptic species complex (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (2010, background): “…important factor for rapidly radiating taxa (Funk & Omland, 2003) and has been studied extensively in taxa such as cichlid fishes (e.g. Moran & Kornfield, 1993; Genner & Turner, 2005), Darwin’s finches (e.g. Freeland & Boag, 1999; Sato et al., 1999) and sticklebacks (e.g. Rundle et al., 2000).”
• African cichlid fish: a model system in adaptive radiation research (2006, background): “Inspired by the classic monographs of Fryer & Iles (1972), and Greenwood (1974), effort toward 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 200”
• Sounds of male Lake Victoria cichlids vary within and between species and affect female mate preferences (2010, background): “Especially in the East African lakes, many closely related species occur in sympatry, and several studies have addressed species-specific mate preferences based on visual (Genner and Turner 2005; Seehausen et al. 2008) and chemical (Plenderleith et al. 2005) signals.”
• The Role of Parasitism in Adaptive Radiations—When Might Parasites Promote and When Might They Constrain Ecological Speciation? (2012, background): “These systems are particular as they harbour a tremendous diversity of hundreds of cichlid fish species each that have emerged in the lakes in a few ten thousand to one or two million years [63–65], representing spectacular examples both of biodiversity and adaptive radiation, and of the high rates ”
