Over the last two decades, the zebrafish has joined the ranks of premier model organisms
for biomedical research, with a full suite of tools and genomic resources. Yet we still know …

The teleost-specific whole genome duplication event 350 million years ago resulted in a
variety of duplicated genes that exist in fish today. In this review, we examine whether …

The order Cypriniformes is the most diverse order of freshwater fishes. Recent phylogenetic
studies have approached a consensus on the phylogenetic relationships of Cypriniformes …

This is the most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the Characidae to date and the first
large‐scale hypothesis of the family, combining myriad morphological data with molecular …

Cyprininae is the largest subfamily (> 1300 species) of the family Cyprinidae and contains
more polyploid species (∼ 400) than any other group of fishes. We examined the …

Background Leuciscinae is a subfamily belonging to the Cyprinidae fish family that is widely
distributed in Circum-Mediterranean region. Many efforts have been carried out to …

The phylogenetic relationships and classification of the freshwater fish order Cypriniformes,
like many other species-rich groups of vertebrates, has evolved over time with some …

Background Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of
freshwater fishes in the world (~ 4300 described species). Despite much attention, previous …

Discussions aimed at resolution of the Tree of Life are most often focused on the
interrelationships of major organismal lineages. In this study, we focus on the resolution of …

Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …
