Research paper: Sylvester, Rich, Loh, et al. (2010) on (cichlid) brain diversity evolving via differences in patterningThe bibliography, now including ~1555 items, starts here. After some highlights, there are annual lists of publications appearing in 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, and 2001 which will assist in locating current and recent research on Rift Lake fishes and other organisms (additions to these lists are flagged as
for at least 1 month). Many studies of Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika (and even some on riverine fishes) are now included, in view of their relevance to understanding the Lake Malawi fauna and its history. Hundreds of "gray literature" citations are included, as are limnology, conservation, and aquaculture publications on Lake Malawi or its species. Also listed are earth science publications (paleolimnology, sedimentology, stratigraphy) relating to the geologic context of Lake Malawi. The vast aquarist literature is ignored, except for a few articles of scientific importance.
Numerous (~285) pop-up Abstracts are accessible by clicking a
icon. These are abstracts or summaries — by the original authors, except where noted — available locally at this site, in addition to ~440 links to abstracts available at PubMed, various publishers' sites, and elsewhere. (Popup blockers may need to be disabled, and JavaScript must be enabled in your browser's options or preferences to view these popup pages.) Also watch for the
icon, permitting free downloading of ~355 entire publications, served from this and other sites (notably, those of Karen Carleton, Martin Genner, Tom Kocher, Axel Meyer, Todd Streelman, and George Turner). Please note that I have verified the citations of virtually all the fish taxonomy publications, but many other items are unverified and a few citations are incomplete. I am always happy to be informed of new publications, omissions, errors, and dead links (please email me).

Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History), Zoology, 45 (4): 265-322. [This is the paper in which Greenwood restricted Haplochromis to five species of the Lakes Victoria-Edward-George-Kivu assemblage. This left more than 100 Lake Malawi species, previously assigned to Haplochromis, without a generic name. In Appendix I of this paper, therefore, Greenwood proposed using Cyrtocara as a temporary formal name for those Lake Malawi species. This name was so used until the revision by Eccles and Trewavas (1989) provided generic names for all of the former Lake Malawi Haplochromis species.]
