n 2018 and 2020, Michael Pauers traveled 8,500 miles to go fishing in Lake Malawi, but not with a pole and lure. He and his research colleague, Titus Phiri, were collecting and describing cichlids \u2013 best-known as a popular aquarium fish \u2013 with the aim of finding new species in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Pauers, an associate professor in the 51ÁÔÆæ College of General Studies, sifted and winnowed in the lake waters, a blue specimen with a red dorsal fin caught his eye. Other cichlids sport that color combination, he said, but this one stood out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was gorgeous. I could not believe just how bright and saturated the colors were,\u201d Pauers said. It was one of six new cichlid species in the genus Labeotropheus<\/em> that he and Phiri found, with the help of professional divers, on the trips. They named it rubidorsalis<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichlids represent the most diverse adaptions of vertebrates in the world, and most of them \u2013 some 2,000 species and probably more \u2013 live in the freshwater African Great Lakes. There are so many species that categorizing them, a field called taxonomy, is ever-changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pauers and Phiri, a research scientist with the Malawi Department of Fisheries, are interested in why there are so many species and why new ones are popping up all the time. But they\u2019re also interested in cataloguing the full spectrum of them, which are spread across 73 genera. The cichlid genus that Pauers studies, Labeotropheus<\/em>, is found only in Lake Malawi, along with 600 other species exclusive to the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling out a genus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Pauers was working towards his PhD in biological sciences at 51ÁÔÆæ, there were only two known species of Labeotropheus<\/em>. By the time he described three new ones in 2016-17, he was on the 51ÁÔÆæ faculty. His discoveries then marked the first time in 60 years that species had been added to the genus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, he and Phiri described six more species they collected during the 2020 expedition. They published their findings in the journal Ichthyology & Herpetology<\/a> in May. Pauers now has been involved in identifying nine of the 11 known species in this genus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the scientists who find a new species get to name them \u2013 within the scientific guidelines, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After examining one of his first specimens of a new species, he had trouble naming it, finally deciding on Labeotropheus simoneae<\/em> in honor of his daughter, Simone. \u201cSomeone at my daughter\u2019s school mentioned that she had very rosy cheeks,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that is one of the distinguishing features of that fish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labeotropheus<\/em> is unique because the fish feeds on algae that it scrapes off the rocks with its bottom jaw. To do this, it rests its bulbus nose on the rock while feeding. The mouth is very straight in this genus, forming the shape of \u201ca half of a rectangle,\u201d said Pauers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The huge lake\u2019s habitat variety is responsible for the cichlid\u2019s unparalleled diversity, Phiri said. Cichlids live in both shallow and deep water and have a wide array of diets, made possible by a second set of jaws set farther back in its throat, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy theory is that the lake is very old, and its formation had been gradual, creating different habitats over time,\u201d Phiri said. \u201cThe cichlid adapted to the various niches, forming different species that are very closely related to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes a species new?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the differences in the new species Pauers and Phiri found are in coloration, but they also found variation in body shape, and in the numbers of teeth and scales. The pair also put cichlids under the microscope and measured their physical features, an arduous task that few other scientists are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, the distinctions are so slim, it could be a single feature separating one species from another. Complicating matters is the fact that females and males of the same species look different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But taxonomy is complex, and adaptations don\u2019t necessarily give rise to a new species, Pauers said. Scientists investigate whether the physical adaptations are linked to behavior, when determining a new species. And the variations in color patterns among the newly discovered species are associated with mating, Pauers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When females prefer to mate only with members of their own species, the color pattern of the males is a sign to females that a potential mate is suitable. Also, males are more likely to be aggressive to males of their own species because they recognize them as rivals, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, they\u2019ve already specialized anatomically,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s leading to its behavior also diversifying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a new species, those differences also show up in their genes. \u201cWe just got a look at the \u2018whole genome\u2019 of our finds \u2013not looking at the genes of any particular trait \u2013 and we have evidence for very distinct genetic separation among the new species,\u201d Pauers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No substitute for the real thing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep up with categorizing cichlids, scientists have moved some of the species from one genus to another or from the formerly huge genus Haplochromis to an entirely new genus over the decades. After studying the Labeotropheus<\/em> with existing specimens for nearly 20 years, Pauers was convinced there were more species, and determined to see them in their environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for his expeditions to Lake Malawi came from the Milwaukee Public Museum, where he is the Orth Family Ichthyology research fellow<\/a> and an adjunct curator of fishes, and from the 51ÁÔÆæ Office of Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One aspect of the research that comes alive when experienced in person, he said, is how the cichlid\u2019s ecology informs their adaptability. For example, the team found three new species of Labeotropheus within a short distance from each other. \u201cI thought, \u2018what could be keeping these species separate when there are no physical barriers?\u2019\u201d Turns out, habitat depth played a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pauers has contributed around 500 cichlid specimens to the Milwaukee Public Museum following his trips. He and Phiri also have deposited specimens in the Field Museum in Chicago and the South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity in Makhanda, South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specimens are essential to logging the changing taxonomy of the cichlids, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are measuring sticks by which other scientists are comparing their specimens, if they think they found something that hasn\u2019t been discovered before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
