Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic relationships among fishes from ostariophysan orders, characiform families, and serrasalmin genera (e.g., "piranhas") were examined using partial mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences of the 12S and 16S genes. Phylogenetic information content of these sequences was assessed at three levels of taxonomic inclusiveness by analyzing the patterns of nucleotide substitution using secondary structure...
