Tropheus Evolution In Tanganyika Lake
African lakes have produced striking variation in cichlid fish fauna. Lake Tanganyika, whose age is estimated at 9 to 12,000,000 years, is the oldest East African lake and hides morphologically, genetically and behaviorally diverse group cichlid fish. Many of the more than 200 described species is divided into geographically and genetically distinct populations that differ primarily in their co...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Internal Kelvin Waves and Coastal Upwelling Fronts*
Two three-dimensional primitive equation numerical ocean models are applied to the problem of internal Kelvin waves and coastal upwelling in the Great Lakes. One is the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with a terrain-following (sigma) vertical coordinate, and the other is the Dietrich/Center for Air Sea Technology (DIECAST) model with constant z-level coordinates. The sigma coordinate system is part...
متن کاملNutrient dynamics of Lake Tanganyika
The large and productive fishery of Lake Tanganyika is an important source of income and nutrition for the surrounding areas. This fishery, based primarily on pelagic clupeids (Kiswahili: dagaa), is very productive, and provides a readily available, nutritious, and inexpensive source of protein to the rapidly growing human populations in this area. The regional importance of the Lake Tanganyika...
متن کاملUpwellings recorded in Lake Tanganyika mussels
Biogenic productivity of Lake Tanganyika is highly dependent on seasonal upwellings of anoxic deep waters. We investigated the shell of freshwater bivalve Pleiodon spekii as a geochemical archive of these periodic hydrological changes tuned by the monsoon regime. The results of a 2-years-long geochemical survey of the coastal waters 5 performed on the dissolved and particulate fractions were pu...
متن کاملAre There Pressure Waves in the Vacuum?
Are there sound waves in the vacuum? The question might seem silly, but here’s my point: (i) the Higgs vacuum of the Standard Model, with its nonzero background field 〈Φ〉 6 = 0, is not ‘empty,’ but rather is a kind of medium. (ii) For very basic reasons, one expects any medium to propagate pressure waves for sufficiently long wavelengths. At length scales much, much longer than the mean free pa...
