Excellent- More about The Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of Cichlid Fishes
The book provides an integrated perspective of cichlid fishes, covering taxonomy, systematics, adaptive radiations, conservation, and management. It explores the diversity of endemic cichlid species in African lakes, extreme hydrology and bathymetry as drivers of micro-allopatric speciation, and molecular evidence for the complex taxonomy and systematics of Neotropical cichlids. It also considers the complex behavioral adaptations of cichlids and puts forth new interpretations, explanatory hypotheses, and proposals for practical management and applications.

The Cichlidae is the largest family of bony fishes, and this volume offers an integrated perspective of cichlid fishes ranging from conservation of threatened species to management of cichlids as invasive species themselves. Long-standing models of taxonomy and systematics are subjected to the most recent applications and interpretations of molecular evidence and multivariate analyses; and cichlid adaptive radiations at different scales are elucidated. The incredible diversity of endemic cichlid species in African lakes is revisited as possible examples of sympatric speciation and as serious cases for management in complex anthropogenic environments. Extreme hydrology and bathymetry as driver of micro-allopatric speciation is explored in the African riverine hotspot of diversity of the lower Congo River. Dramatic new molecular evidence draws attention to the complex taxonomy and systematics of Neotropical cichlids including the crater lakes of Central America. Molecular genetics, genomics, imaging tools and field study techniques assess the roles of natural, sexual and kin selection in shaping cichlid traits and beyond. The complex behavioral adaptations of cichlids are considered from a number of sub-disciplines including sensory biology, neurobiology, development, and evolutionary ecology. Most importantly, this volume puts forth a wealth of new interpretations, explanatory hypotheses and proposals for practical management and applications that will shape the future for these remarkable fishes in nature as well as their use as models for the study of biology.
