Cenozoic tectonic evolution in the Tethyan region has greatly changed the landforms and
environment of Eurasia, driving the evolution of animals and greatly affecting the diversity …

Classification, phylogeography and the testing of evolutionary hypotheses rely on correct
estimation of species phylogeny. Early molecular phylogenies often relied on mt DNA alone …

The members of the cyprinid subfamily Danioninae form a diverse and scientifically
important group of fishes, which includes the zebrafish, Danio rerio. The diversity of this …

The eastern Himalayan syntaxis has experienced some of the highest rates of deformation
and erosion in the orogen during the Late Cenozoic, and the Yarlung Tsangpo …

The Himalayan orogen provides a type example on which a number of models of the causes
and consequences of crustal deformation are based and it has been suggested that it is the …

Aim To test a vicariant speciation hypothesis derived from geological evidence of large‐
scale changes in drainage patterns in the late Miocene that affected the drainages in the …

Background Paedocypris, a highly developmentally truncated fish from peat swamp forests
in Southeast Asia, comprises the world's smallest vertebrate. Although clearly a cyprinid fish …

The order Cypriniformes is the most diverse clade of freshwater fishes and is natively
distributed on all continents except South America, Australia, and Antarctica. Despite the …

Abstract Labyrinth fishes (Perciformes: Anabantoidei) are primary freshwater fishes with a
disjunct African-Asian distribution that exhibit a wide variety of morphological and behavioral …

The collision of the Indian and Eurasian landmasses in the Cenozoic was a decisive factor
in shaping biodiversity patterns in Southern and Southeastern Asia. While most studies thus …
