Dynamic landscapes & diversity Diversity mainly driven by speciation – Sympatric speciation – Allopatric speciation Slow changes in landscape – Mountain ridges – Formation of lakes – Drifting of continents

Dynamic landscapes Fast (repetitive) changes in landscape: – Glaciation – Islands and changing sea levels – Fluctuating lake levels – On a different spatio-temporal scale: Predators Dispersal and expansion Alternating periods of allopatry and sympatry Aguilée et al. 2010

Focal system

Lake Tanganyika Million years ago Water elvel below present

Eretmodini Ruber et al PNAS

Summary and aims Changes in landscapes can be relatively fast Lake Tanganyika has experienced dramatic changes in water level Have these changes in waterlevel driven the current diversity in cichlids?

Conclusion & Perspectives Dynamic landscapes are important in shaping diversity Estimates of this model are well in line with empirical estimates Fit this model to similar systems
