Widespread fish clades that occur mainly or exclusively in fresh water represent a key target
of biogeographical investigation due to limited potential for crossing marine barriers …

The Afrotropics house a diverse freshwater ichthyofauna with> 3000 species, almost all of
which are endemic. Recent progress in dated phylogenetics and palaeontology of several …

Bonytongues (Osteoglossomorpha) constitute an ancient clade of teleost fishes distributed
in freshwater habitats throughout the world. The group includes well-known species such as …

The collision of the Indian and Eurasian landmasses in the Cenozoic was a decisive factor
in sha** biodiversity patterns in Southern and Southeastern Asia. While most studies thus …

Although the majority of cichlid diversity occurs in the African Great Lakes, these fish have
also diversified across the African continent. Such continental radiations, occurring in both …

Aim The formation history of Africa's current river basins remains largely unknown. In order
to date changes in landscape and climate, we studied the biogeography of the African …

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 …

Endeavours in species discovery, particularly the characterisation of cryptic species, have
been greatly aided by the application of DNA molecular sequence data to phylogenetic …

This paper reports a phylogeny of the African killifishes (Genus Nothobranchius, Order
Cyprinodontiformes) informed by five genetic markers (three nuclear, two mitochondrial) of …

Abstract Aim Biotic interchanges between Africa, India, and Eurasia are central to explaining
the present‐day distribution and diversity of freshwater organisms across these landmasses …
