Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of 160 specimens from 88 samples representing all defined species of the African Aplocheiloid subgenus Chromaphyosemion in order to examine the monophyly of this group, the species interrelationships, and to reveal trends in chromosomal evolution and formulate hypotheses about their evolutionary history. The data set comprised 1153 total nucleotides from the...
