peer reviewedThe study of the caudal skeleton of 244 specimens belonging to 108 Cichlid species, has shown a general stability but also a reduction of the hypurals number from five to three. This reduction perhaps may have a functional meaning resulting in quicker swimming but in lesser agility. Indeed the diminution of the hypural numb&r most often occurs in the species living in the large and deep Nyassa and Tanganyika lakes.L'étude de l'ostéologie caudale de 244 individus appartenant à 108 espèces de Cichlidae nous a montré, à côté d'une habituelle grande stabilité, une réduction du nombre des hypuraux de cinq à trois. Celle-ci s'explique peut-être sur le plan fonctionnel : elle favorise une nage plus rapide au prix d'une diminution de l...
