Molecular phylogenetics of the Neotropical fish family Prochilodontidae (Teleostei: Characiformes) [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2016 Migratory detritivores of the characiform family Prochilodontidae occur throughout the freshwaters of much of South America. Prochilodontids often form massive populations and many species achieve substantial body sizes; a combination that makes them one of the most commercially important fish groups on the continent.
