As the largest group of extant vertebrates, fish offer an almost limitless number of striking examples of evolutionary adaptation to environmental and biotic selection pressure. The most diverse of all vertebrate groups, the higher taxa of fish traditionally have been classified by morphology and paleontology, with a much smaller input of cytogenetic information. DNA sequence data are exerting an increasingly strong influence on modern fish systematics, challenging the classification of numerous higher taxa ranging from genera to orders. The most fruitful approach, however, involves synthetic analyses of morphology, molecular phylogenetics, comparative karyology, and genome size. Karyotypes of more than 3400 ... Read more

Reviews for Fish Karyotypes
From the reviews: “This checklist contains the descriptions of karyotypes of 3,425 fish species … . the author stresses the relative value of karyotyping fish for systematics and phylogeny. He provides information on karyotypes of species of cyclostomes, chondrychthyes, actinopterygians and even lobe-finned fishes (!) gathered from numerous well-known and easily accessible journals. … a valuable source for all ...
