Background: Understanding the processes that influence distribution of organisms is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Speciation in freshwater fishes is mainly associated with the "island-like" model of evolution, in which the formation of land barriers between different hydrographic basins interrupts gene flow and promotes isolation. Freshwater fish therefore provide an excellent model system for macro- and...
