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.
