Morphological variation of the palatal organ and chewing pad of catostomidae (teleostei: cypriniformes).

Phylogeny of suckers (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Catostomidae): further evidence of relationships provided by the single-copy nuclear gene IRBP2

The order Cypriniformes and family Catostomidae, the Holarctic suckers, have received considerable phylogenetic attention in recent years. These studies have provided contrasting phylogenies and classifications to historical, morphology-based phylogenetic and prephylogenetic hypotheses of relationships of species and the naturalness of hypothesized genera, tribes, and subfamilies. To date, near...

A different perspective on the phylogenetic relationships of the Moxostomatini (Cypriniformes: Catostomidae) based on cytochrome-b and Growth Hormone intron sequences.

We have examined phylogenetic relationships of suckers of tribe Moxostomatini (Cypriniformes, Catostomidae) using cytochrome-b and Growth Hormone gene intron sequences. Phylogenies were significantly different from recent estimates of relationships based primarily on morphology (Smith, 1992) and cytochrome-b sequences (Harris et al., 2002). Overall, there was little support for many basal nodes...

Development of Genetic Markers for Sex Determination, Parentage Assessment, and Population Genetics of Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen texanus (Cypriniformes: Catostomidae)

Phylogenetic relationships of catostomid fishes (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes) based on mitochondrial ND4/ND5 gene sequences.

Family Catostomidae is a diverse group of benthic freshwater fishes that are distributed across North America and in parts of East Asia. In this study, the phylogenetic relationships of Catostomidae is examined using 3436 nucleotides of mitochondrial ND4 and ND5 protein coding genes and intervening tRNAs. All 13 genera and 60 species of catostomids were sampled to represent diversity of the fam...

Bleeker was right: Revision of the genus Cyclocheilichthys (Bleeker 1859) and resurrection of the genus Anematichthys (Bleeker 1859), based on morphological and molecular data of Southeast Asian Cyprininae (Teleostei, Cypriniformes)

The taxonomy within the order Cypriniformes is subject to frequent changes, thanks to the results coming from recent molecular phylogenies that help understand the Cypriniformes tree of life previously established through morphological characters. In this paper, we focus on species belonging to the Cyprininae – the largest sub-family among Cypriniformes – and we present both morphological and p...
