Primes¶

- The source population is a small number of ancestral cichlid lineages carrying high genetic variability and, crucially, a key innovation: pharyngeal jaws (a second set of jaws in the throat) that decouple food capture from food processing, vastly expanding the reachable diet space.
This sourceClassic reference documenting the pharyngeal-jaw key innovation and the trophic diversification of African rift-lake cichlids.
