Weighted parsimony phylogeny of the family Characidae (Teleostei: Characiformes) [PDF]

open access: yesCladistics, 2009
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

2009
Characidae The largest characiform family, characids are abundant in several environments throughout the Neotropical region. Because of their heterogeneous nature, the species are arranged in several subfamilies in addition to many genera incertae sedis, following Lima et al. (2003). In the present study, the characids are presented jointly.

Phylogenomics of Characidae, a hyper-diverse Neotropical freshwater fish lineage, with a phylogenetic classification including four families (Teleostei: Characiformes)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society
Neotropical tetras of the family Characidae form the largest and most taxonomically complex clade within the order Characiformes. Previous phylogenetic relationships concur on the recognition of four major subclades, whereas knowledge on intergeneric ...

Observations on tooth replacement in piranhas (Characidae)

Archives of Oral Biology, 1975
Abstract Skeletal and preserved material from 15 piranha fish ( Characidae ) were examined radiographically and the heads of a further three specimens of body length 2.5–4.0 cm examined histologically. Such material revealed a close correlation in the stage of development between upper and lower dentitions on the same side of the jaws but the stage ...

Abstract Henochilus, a characiform genus endemic to eastern Brazil is reviewed. A single species, Henochilus wheatlandii, from the Rio Doce and possibly the Rio Mucuri in the states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo is recognized and redescribed. The phylogenetic analysis indicates that Henochilus is most closely related to the clade consisting of ...
