Apistogramma D52

[Jacobus]

Anything known yet to which lineage, group, sub-group this species belongs or will most likely belong?

Uwe Römer just published on them in march:

Thanks Mac. Did not know about this article. How do I get access to the full text?

 

[MacZ]

Registration on the website. Researchgate is worth it. I have access via my university account.
And I also didn't know about the article until today.

Text still jumps from pag 93 to 103. I fail to get the full text. Maybe since I am retired and no longer execute a schientific job? I can only log in to get a specific article. But even then I get no more than described extract.

You can't access the full article on researchgate.

However, what Römer & Kipper say about the systematic position of D52 (and the according to them most similar species A. sp. "Tiquie 1" aka A. sp. "Tiquie") is this: "Which group these two species, Apistogramma sp. D52 and A. sp. "Tiquié 1", ultimately belong to can therefore not yet be precisely determined. Cluster analytical studies on 116 species of the genus (Römer, 2006), in which Apistogramma sp. "Tiquié 1" and - in an update - 30 further species were included (UR, unpublished data), however, indicate a possible phylogenetic relationship to Apistogramma meinkeni KULLANDER, 1980 within the wider Apistogramma agassizii lineage. However, this classification is currently at best provisional."

I haven't been able to download earlier today, because it wasn't on my machine, but now that you say... bummer. Usually I get lots of stuff there but this is a first.

Thanks Frank, and Mac. Most likely agassizi lineage. That's something at least, for now. Further determination may take years yet.

Thanks Frank, and Mac. Most likely agassizi lineage. That's something at least, for now. Further determination may take years yet.

Note that according to most other authors/researchers/experts, A. meinkeni belongs to the pertensis-lineage, which is believed to be a lineage separate from the agassizii-lineage.

Noted and appreciated.

I find them less aggressive to each other than a. agassizi but quite aggressive to other species of all types.
