Item description from seller

Ancient lakes are exceptional freshwater environment that have continued to exist for hundreds of thousands of years. They have long been recognized as centres of biodiversity and hotspots of evolution. The 16 contributions in this volume deal with patterns and processes of biological diversification in three prominent ancient lake systems. Of these, the famous East African Great Lakes already have a strong tradition of evolutionary studies. The biodiversity of the European sister lakes Ohrif and Prespa of the Balkans has long been known, but has largely been neglected. East African Great Lakes: Koblmüller et al.: The Lake Tanganyika cichlid species assemblage: recent advances in molecular phylogenetics. Sefc: Variance in reproductive success and the opportunity of selection in a serially monogamous species: simulations of the mating system of Tropheus (Teleostei: Cichlidae). Egger et al.: Assortative mating preferences between colour morphs of the endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid genus Tropheus. Sturmbauer et al.: Variation and territory size and defense behavior in breeding pairs of the endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish Variabilichromis moorii. Sturmbauer et al.: Abundance, distribution, and territory areas of rock-dwelling Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish species. Anseeuw et al.: Subtle population structure and male-biased dispersal in two Copadichromis species (Teleostei, Cichlidae) from Lake Malawi, East Africa. Marijnissen et al.: Ecological correlates of species differences in the Lake Tanganyika crab radiation. Sturmbauer: The Great Lakes in East Africa: biological conservation considerations for species flocks. Balkan Lakes Ohrid and Prespa: Albrecht & Wilke: Ancient Lake Ohrid: biodiversity and evolution Schultheiss et al.: The neglected side of speciation in ancient lakes: phylogeography of an inconspicuous mollusc taxon in lakes Ohrid and Prespa Albrecht et al.: Concurrent evolution of ancient sister lakes and sister species: the freshwater gastropod genus Radix in lakes Ohrid and Prespa Hauswald et al.: Testing two contrasting evolutionary patterns in ancient lakes: species flock versus species scatter in valvatid gastropods of Lake Ohrid Sulawesi Lake System: Glaubrecht & von Rintelen: The species flocks of lacustrine gastropods: Tylomelania on Sulawesi as models in speciation and adaptive radiation Schwarzer et al.: Gene flow at the margin of Lake Matano’s adaptive sailfin silverside radiation: Telmatherinidae of River Petea in Sulawesi Bramburger: Processes regulating the community composition and relative abundance of taxa in the diatom communities of the Malili Lakes, Sulawesi Island, Indonesia Sabo et al.: The plankton community of Lake Matano: factors regulating plankton composition and relative abundance in an ancient, tropical lake of Indonesia 235 pp., num. figs, hc gr. 8.…
