Mitochondrial Genome Structures and Phylogenetic Analyses of Two Tropical Characidae Fishes [PDF]
The Characidae family contains the largest number of tropical fish species. Morphological similarities make species identification difficult within this family.

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.

Weighted parsimony phylogeny of the family Characidae (Teleostei: Characiformes)
AbstractThe family Characidae, including more than 1000 species, lacks a phylogenetic diagnosis, with many of its genera currently considered as incertae sedis. The aims of the present study are to propose a phylogenetic diagnosis and to assess higher‐level relationships of and within Characidae. In this regard, 360 morphological characters are studied

Food Habits of Five Fish Species from A Blackwater Creek in The Colombian Amazon
To provide baseline life history information for some of the many small fishes found in blackwater forest streams in the Colombian Amazon near the town of Leticia, we describe trophic aspects of five species of fishes.
