Evolution of Labeo victorianus predates the Pleistocene desiccation of Lake Victoria: evidence from mitochondrial DNA sequence variation
Geological data show that Lake Victoria dried out some 15 000 years ago. These data suggest that the entire faunal diversity within the lake has evolved since this time. However, mitochondrial DNA sequence diversity in the endemic cyprinid fish, Labeo victorianus, was high (24 haplotypes in 38 indiv...
