Article in a scientific Journal / Article in a Journal

The problems encountered in the study of the taxonomy and distribution patterns of Lake Tanganyika cichlids are reviewed. Particular problems for Lamprologus s.l., a group of substratum-brooding genera, and for Tropheus, a mouthbrooding genus are discussed. Data from our Tanganyika-1992 expedition are compared with reevaluated data from the existing collections. The potential advantages of integrating molecular and morphological techniques are illustrated.
