Morphology and ecology during the course of teleost adaptive radiations
The work presented in my doctoral thesis focuses on different aspects of adaptive radiations in teleost fish and evolves around different systems, namely Lake Tanganyikan and Central American cichlids and Antarctic notothenioids. I assessed relationships between morphological and physiological chara...

The work presented in my doctoral thesis focuses on different aspects of adaptive radiations in teleost fish and evolves around different systems, namely Lake Tanganyikan and Central American cichlids and Antarctic notothenioids.
