Spine anatomy reveals the diversity of catfish through time: a case study of Synodontis (Siluriformes).

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Jan 2006

Pinton Aurélie, Fara Emmanuel, Otero Olga

Abstract excerpt

Synodontis (Mochokidae, Siluriformes) is a freshwater catfish endemic to Africa. The 118 extant species are present in almost all hydrographic basins. Some species are restricted to a single stream, whereas others have a vast distribution. Synodontis is known in the fossil record since the Miocene, and its history depends on the connections among African basins through time. The identification of species in the...
