Work
The research of Walter Salzburger focuses on the understanding of organismal diversification in general and the evolutionary phenomena of adaptive radiation and explosive speciation in particular.[2] Salzburger's main organismal study systems are the exceptionally diverse adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes in East Africa, and in particular the cichlid fauna of Lake Tanganyika.[3][4] In addition, his group has worked on vision in deep-sea fishes,[5] among many other topics.
