Abstract When the first Indo-Pacific Fish Conference (IPFC1) was held in Sydney in 1981,
there were still many problems in the generic-and species-level taxonomy of all …

Background Fish classifications, as those of most other taxonomic groups, are being
transformed drastically as new molecular phylogenies provide support for natural groups …

Classification of the tremendous diversity of ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) began with the
designation of taxonomic groups on the basis of morphological similarity. Starting in the late …

The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and
subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Family names …

One hundred and eighteen major groups of teleost fishes are recognized as monophyletic
on the basis of morphological synapomorphies. One hundred and twelve are formally …

A major challenge in evolutionary biology lies in explaining patterns of high species
numbers found in biodiversity hot spots. Tropical coral reefs underlie most marine hot spots …

A data matrix is presented of 210 morphological characters (mostly osteological, some
