Population-structure and genetic diversity in a haplochromine fish cichlid of a satellite lake of Lake Victoria
The ∼ 500 species of the cichlid fish species flock of Lake Victoria, East Africa, have evolved in a record-setting 100 000 years and represent one of the largest adaptive radiations. We examined the population structure of the endangered cichlid species Xystichromis phytophagus from Lake Kanyaboli, a satellite lake to Lake Victoria in the Kenyan Yala wetlands. Two sets of molecular markers wer...
متن کاملPerformance of Meris Products in Lake Victoria
The newly finished ESA project MERIS Lakes included activity in Lake Victoria to show the potensial for monitoring this eutrophic African Lake. In this study an evaluation of how different processors perform in Lake Victoria. Lack of proper validation data makes it only possible to have a preliminary assessment of the performance of the product algal_2, suspended material and the signal depth, ...
متن کاملThe water balance of Lake Victoria
This paper presents new calculations of Lake Victoria's water balance. Evaporation is estimated using both the Penman formula and the energy balance approach, and sensitivity studies are performed to determine the influence of input data on the estimates. Rainfall over the lake is estimated from catchment rainfall using a relationship between the two that was derived using satellite data. The r...
متن کاملHazardous thunderstorm intensification over Lake Victoria
Weather extremes have harmful impacts on communities around Lake Victoria, where thousands of fishermen die every year because of intense night-time thunderstorms. Yet how these thunderstorms will evolve in a future warmer climate is still unknown. Here we show that Lake Victoria is projected to be a hotspot of future extreme precipitation intensification by using new satellite-based observatio...
متن کاملGenetic Structure of Pelagic and Littoral Cichlid Fishes from Lake Victoria
The approximately 700 species of cichlids found in Lake Victoria in East Africa are thought to have evolved over a short period of time, and they represent one of the largest known examples of adaptive radiation. To understand the processes that are driving this spectacular radiation, we must determine the present genetic structure of these species and elucidate how this structure relates to th...
