Genomic Insights Into Carnivorous Fish in the Characiformes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The Characiformes exhibit remarkable dietary diversity, with carnivorous species displaying unique adaptations to high‐protein and high‐fat diets. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this carnivorous specialization remain poorly understood.

Early Biogeography of Otophysi Points to the Neotropics as the Cradle of Characiphysan Fishes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Freshwaters represent less than 1% of Earth's surface and only 0.02% of the available aquatic habitable volume, yet they host nearly half of the 35,500 known species of bony fishes.

Evolutionary trends of As51 satellite DNA and its colocalization with 45S ribosomal DNA: a conserved feature in Characiformes fishes [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) can arise from diverse genomic regions, but determining their precise origin remains a major challenge. A previous study reported the colocalization of the As51 satDNA and the 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) in Astyanax ...

First cytogenetic data on Afrotropical lutefishes (Citharinidae) in the light of karyotype evolution in Characiformes [PDF]

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2022
The Afrotropical lutefish family Citharinidae (Citharinoidei, Characiformes) comprises three genera with eight species in total. Although Citharinidae have been studied in terms of taxonomy and systematics, no cytogenetic information was available for ...

Specialized specialists and the narrow niche fallacy: a tale of scale-feeding fishes [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Although rare within the context of 30 000 species of extant fishes, scale-feeding as an ecological strategy has evolved repeatedly across the teleost tree of life.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese Konosirus punctatus (Clupeiformes, Clupeidae) and phylogenetic studies of Clupeiformes

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The Dotted Gizzard Shad (Konosirus punctatus) was one of the most important commercial fish species in China, Japan and Korea. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of K. punctatus was presented. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was
