The complete mitochondrial genome of the Variable Platyfish Xiphophorus variatus
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Variable Platyfish, Xiphophorus variatus (Meek 1904) (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae). The genome consists of 16,624 bp which encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal ...

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana--first detailed microanatomical study of the inner ear of a cyprinodontiform species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

Patterns and drivers of Nothobranchius killifish diversity in lowland Tanzania
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Temporary pools are seasonal wetland habitats with specifically adapted biota, including annual Nothobranchius killifishes that survive habitat desiccation as diapausing eggs encased in dry sediment.

First complete mitochondrial genome of the South American annual fish Austrolebias charrua (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae): peculiar features among cyprinodontiforms mitogenomes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 Among teleosts, the South American genus Austrolebias (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) includes 42 taxa of annual fishes divided into five different species groups. It is a monophyletic genus, but morphological and molecular data do not resolve the relationship among intrageneric clades and high rates of substitution have been previously described in ...

Development of the caudal-fin skeleton reveals multiple convergent fusions within Atherinomorpha
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Background The caudal fin of teleosts is a highly diverse morphological structure and a valuable source of information for comparative analyses. Within the Atherinomorpha a high variation of conditions of the caudal-fin skeleton can be found. These range

SPERMATOGONIES ET SPERMATOCYTES FLAGELLÉS CHEZ POECILIA RETICULATA (TÉLÉOSTÉENS CYPRINODONTIFORMES) [PDF]
Annales de Biologie Animale Biochimie Biophysique, 1969 La présence d'un flagelle sur des spermatogonies et spermatocytes et de 2 flagelles sur des spermatides est décrite chez le Guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Les flagelles présents sur les gonies et spermatocytes sont plus courts que ceux des spermatides et débouchent directement hors des cellules. Le mode de formation des flagelles est discuté.

Viviparity stimulates diversification in an order of fish
Nature Communications, 2016 Live birth and an annual life cycle potentially enable access to new ecological niches and subsequent species diversification. Here, Helmstetter et al.build the phylogeny for fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes and find that, though live birth and ...
