A checklist of Recent and fossil catfishes (Order Siluriformes) is presented, summarizing
taxonomic literature published through 2005. From 4624 nominal species group names and …

A phylogenetic analysis of nearly all genera of the Hypostominae and the Ancistrinae is
provided based on osteology, external anatomy, and digestive tract anatomy. The results …

The eastern Brazilian coastal drainages are of great biogeographical significance, because
of their highly endemic fish faunas. Phylogenetic patterns suggest a close biotic relationship …

Higher-level relationships among catfishes were investigated by parsimony, maximum
likelihood and Bayesian analyses of two nuclear genes across 110 catfish species …

ABSTRACT Biogeography of Amazonian fishes (2,500 species in vastly disjunct lineages) is
complex and has so far been approached only partially. Here, we tackle the problem on the …

The Siluriformes, or catfishes, with approximately 416 genera and over 2500 species,
represent about 32% of all freshwater fishes (Teugels, 1996). According to Ferraris and de …

The taxon known as Corydoras paleatus carries one of the most complex taxonomic
histories among Corydoradinae catfishes. A comprehensive review of specimens attributed …

The major aim of this work is, to help clarify the interrelationships of catfishes, with major
implications on the study of the general evolution of these fishes. A great part of this work …

The family Callichthyidae, which comprises the subfamilies Corydoradinae and
Callichthyinae, represents one of the largest families within the Siluriformes. Corydoradinae …

A phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships within the callichthyid subfamily Corydoradinae is
proposed based on 83 characters. The monophyly of the subfamily is well supported, as are …
