Ich bin ein großer Fan! Beim letzten DCG Symposium habe ich an Prof. Salzburgers Lippen gehangen, als er seinen Vortrag über adaptive Radiation gehalten hat! Schrecklich interessant, sehr informativ und kurzweilig gestaltet! 👍

Thank you for a wonderful talk! L Victoria is less than 5% of the age of L Tanganyika, yet has even greater cichlid diversity. You have been quite specific about timings of radiations, morphological, colour and genomic features within your L Tanganyika clade. How do you reconcile your findings with what must be quite different timings for L Victoria? Could it be that the Victoria assemblage actually derives from an older "extinct" lake (as has been suggested for Malawi I think), but I think the molecular time estimates would argue not? Are the cichlids different in some way, or is the morphological diversity within L Victoria actually much less than L Tanganyika?
