Article Synopsis
- The study explores how four haplochromine cichlid species in Lake Victoria adapted their upper jaw morphology in response to a diet shift toward larger and faster prey over the past 30 years.
- After the initial diet change in the late 1980s, two species reverted to their original jaw structure when they returned to their previous diet in the 2000s, while the other two did not show any reversal.
- These findings highlight the potential for rapid adaptive changes in response to environmental fluctuations, which are crucial for understanding how these fish cope with changing conditions and contribute to their adaptive radiation.
