This work focused on arowana fishes (Teleostei, Osteoglossiformes) as a model; their widespread intercontinental distribution and basal phylogenetic position within Teleostei make them a compelling model for evolutionary research, especially in the realm of satDNA molecular evolution. Through the integration of genomic and chromosomal data, we analyzed

The Complete Genome Sequences of 38 Species of Elephantfishes (Mormyridae, Osteoglossiformes) [PDF]
We present the complete genome sequences of 38 species of elephantfishes from 20 genera. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from single wild-caught individuals. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step.

Cytogenetics, genomics and biodiversity of the South American and African Arapaimidae fish family (Teleostei, Osteoglossiformes). [PDF]
Osteoglossiformes represents one of the most ancestral teleost lineages, currently widespread over almost all continents, except for Antarctica. However, data involving advanced molecular cytogenetics or comparative genomics are yet largely limited for ...

Exceptionally Steep Brain-Body Evolutionary Allometry Underlies the Unique Encephalization of Osteoglossiformes [PDF]
Brain-body static allometry, which is the relationship between brain size and body size within species, is thought to reflect developmental and genetic constraints.

First cytogenetic information for five Nilotic elephantfishes and a problem of ancestral karyotype of the family Mormyridae (Osteoglossiformes) [PDF]
The elephantfish family Mormyridae is the most diverse lineage of the primitive teleostean clade Osteoglossomorpha distributed in inland waters of all continents except Antarctica and Europe.

Feeding Ecology of Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (Osteoglossiformes: Osteoglossidae) in a Central Amazon Reserve [PDF]
Studies determining the feeding habits of fish are essential for understanding the relationships between fauna components and other aquatic organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the feeding habits of the Arowana Osteoglossum bicirrhosum in the Piranha ...

Abstract Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (silver arowana) is an important fish for the economy of the Amazon region, both as an ornamental fish and as a food fish. To provide tools for addressing ecological and genetic questions, we developed 19 polymorphic microsatellite markers that had between 2 and 7 alleles per locus in the 24 tested individuals.

Genetic variability and population structure of Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (Osteoglossiformes: Osteoglossidae) in the Amazon basin [PDF]
This study tested the hypothesis that the silver arowana from different rivers in the Amazon basin is genetically structured, thus requiring differentiated management strategies to maintain stocks and continue economic activities. Such activities include
