Mitochondrial genomes of five Hyphessobrycon tetras and their phylogenetic implications [PDF]
To date, the taxonomic status and phylogenetic affinities within Hyphessobrycon, even among other genera in Characidae, remain unclear. Here, we determined five new mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Hyphessobrycon species (H. elachys, H. flammeus, H.
