Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations
Cichlids underwent a rapid diversification in the Lake Victoria region, expanding to more than 700 species within 150,000 years. Here, Meier and colleagues show that an ancient hybridization between two divergent cichlid lineages generated high genetic diversity that facilitated the rapid radiation.
