Note that only a subsample of parasites found in each host species was used for Diplostomum identification by molecular methods.

Abstract Interspecific brood parasitism has evolved repeatedly from parental care. However, many non-avian brood-parasitic lineages have ancestors lacking parental care, leaving the foundations of brood parasitism in these lineages enigmatic. We examine ecological, reproductive, and developmental data from the Lake Tanganyika radiation of Synodontis catfishes, where one species, the cuckoo catfish, exhibits brood parasitism of mouthbrooding cichlid fishes.

1 Introduction Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum von Nordmann, 1832 (Diplostomidae) are common parasites of freshwater fish worldwide (Niewiadomska and Laskowski 2002). Species that infect fish eyes are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens (Karvonen and Marcogliese 2020). Many of the negative effects observed in Diplostomum-infected fish, such as increased mortality (Larsen et al. 2005; Michálková and Ondračková 2014), altered physiology (e.g., oxygen consumption [Voutilainen et al.
