Another fish on the cover – vision in the Barombi Mbo cichlids published in Molecular Ecology

Our manuscript about vision in the crater lake cichlids has been in published in Molecular Ecology. We are very happy to finally wrap up what we know about adaptation to the deep-water environment.

Thanks to all who participated on this research, and special thanks Dima, Monika and Katka from my group.
