Genetics and phylogeny of genus Coilia in China based on AFLP markers [PDF]
The taxonomy of Coilia has been extensively studied in China, and yet phylogenetic relationships among component taxa remain controversial. We used a PCR-based fingerprinting technique, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) to characterize and ...

The fate of the duplicated androgen receptor in fishes: a late neofunctionalization event?
Background Based on the observation of an increased number of paralogous genes in teleost fishes compared with other vertebrates and on the conserved synteny between duplicated copies, it has been shown that a whole genome duplication (WGD) occurred ...

CLOFFAR - update 1 - supplement to Checklist of the Freshwater Fishes of Argentina [PDF]
Despite the fact that this first update of CLOFFAR contains 15 changes, the number of species has increased by only 4. The main driver for the recent changes is the paper of Thomaz et al., proposing 8 new combinations for stevardiine characiforms.
