Morphological variation in vanishing Mexican desert fishes of the genus Characodon (Goodeidae).

Journal of fish biology - 1 Feb 2014

Tobler M, Bertrand N

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated a rapidly vanishing group of fishes in the genus Characodon (including Characodon lateralis and Characodon audax) from the upper Rio Mezquital drainage in Mexico. Using specimens from museum collections, morphological variation was assessed to quantify body shape differentiation among historic (i.e. extirpated and extant) collection sites. In both sexes, body shape (particularly head...
