class='quotemain'>Scientists have undertaken a study investigating the spatial

distribution of cichlids in Mexico's Usumacinta River basin.

Miriam Soria-Barreto

and Rocio Rodiles-Hernandez studied the cichlids of the Tzendales River, a tributary of the

Usumacinta in the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve in Central America.

They found 14

different species of cichlid, nine were native to the area and five were endemic - being found

nowhere else other than this specific river basin.</div>
