~1920 items, starts here. After some highlights,
there are annual lists of publications appearing in

2009, 2008,
2007, 2006,
2005, 2004,
2003, 2002,
and 2001 which will assist in locating current and recent research
on Rift Lake fishes and other organisms (additions to these lists are flagged
as
for at least 1 month).
Many studies of Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika (and even some on riverine fishes) are now
included, in view of their relevance to understanding the Lake Malawi fauna and its history.
Hundreds of "gray literature" citations are included, as are limnology,
conservation, and aquaculture publications on Lake Malawi or its species.
Also listed are earth science publications (paleolimnology, sedimentology,
stratigraphy, biogeochemistry) relating to the geologic context of Lake Malawi. The vast
aquarist literature is ignored, except for a few articles of scientific importance.

According to Dr. Lothar Seegers (in litt. 12 March 2001), "Barbus eurystomus has to be considered a junior synonym of B. johnstonii Boulenger 1907 and this biological species therefore has to be named B. brevicauda." Dr. Seegers pointed out that Banister & Clarke (1980) overlooked Keilhack's 1910 paper, and so used the name B. eurystomus in error. Thanks to Dr. Seegers for this opinion.]

[The magazine's editor, Albert Klee, was responsible for the pompous title of my article, which I had submitted under the dry name "Potential aquarium fishes from Lake Malawi." In this series of articles for aquarists, I described my 1968 first visit to the Lake and argued that many of the cichlids of sandy shores and other habitats would make popular aquarium fishes, in addition to the few mbuna then available. In 1971, when I first met Peter and Henny Davies, then the aquarium fish exporters at the lake, they told me that they had thought only the mbuna would interest aquarists. They said that my article had persuaded them to start exporting other cichlids in addition to mbuna, and that they did prove highly popular — as they still are nearly 50 years later.]

[See pp. 354-355, descriptions of collecting localities; throughout this series of studies, Omer-Cooper identified three lakeside swamps (dambos) as "Swamp A," "Swamp B," and "Swamp C." The predaceous diving beetles from those localities can be considered part of the Lake Malawi fauna in the sense that large masses of the swamp vegetation regularly drift into southern Lake Malawi as "floating islands" [see Oliver & McKaye (1982)]], and some of these beetles quite probably drift among these plant mats and find their way temporarily into the open lake. See my Invertebrates of Lake Malawi checklist for the current names of these dambo-dwelling beetles.]

Swimming in Lake Malawi, Lake Kariba, and the Zambezi River has been particularly problematic." For prophylaxis, the authors recommend the antimalarial drug artemether: "The prospects seem good for prophylaxis with artemether in high-risk groups in areas where schistosomiasis is endemic, such as flood relief workers, tourists, and fishermen."]

Seegers, L. 2008. The catfishes of Africa. A handbook for identification and maintenance. Aqualog Verlag, Rodgau, Germany (English edition); 604 pp. ISBN 9783936027839. Publisher's blurb A bookseller's blurb [An illustrated book-length review of all known African catfishes, including those of Lake Malawi. A key is given to families only (p. 25), and is not mentioned in the table of contents. To identify genera and species, the reader is left to ponder brief summaries and browse photographs or drawings. The book is a very welcome summary of knowledge, but seems to have been intended primarily for the advanced aquarium hobbyist since technical desciption of the catfishes is minimal (despite inclusion of descriptions of several new species of catfish - none from L. Malawi). The small Zaireichthys in empty Lanistes shells on sandy shores of Lake Malawi is mentioned but its identity was still unresolved. [Subsequently, it was described and named Zaireichthys lacustris by Eccles et al. (2011)]. A German edition of the book was also published (Mary Bailey is credited with its translation into English). Without knowing the exact dates of publication of each edition, it is unclear which edition constitutes the original publication of the new taxa despite Seegers's statement (p. 4) that "In case of doubt the German edition shall be the official text."]

Two Lake Malawi species were included, Pseudotropheus zebra and Diplotaxodon sp., the first from the Mbuna flock, the second from the "Hap" flock; these two formed a well-supported node on the consensus cladogram. The sister group of this node was a node with three riverine/ Lake Victoria species; the sister group of both these nodes was a node for the two Lake Tanganyika species in the study. Heterochromis was strongly corroborated as the most basal member of the African clade, i.e., the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae. Another major finding was support for the sister-group of the Cichlidae being a much larger clade of percomorphs than just the labroid families]
