It has long been recognized that presence–absence, localisation, size, number and shape of
fish scales can be important taxonomic features. Although there are some notes on the …

Adaptive radiation of freshwater fishes was long thought to be possible only in lacustrine
environments. Recently, several studies have shown that riverine and stream environments …

The phenomenon of a massive vertebral deformity was recorded in the radiating
Labeobarbus assemblage from the middle reaches of the Genale River (south-eastern …

Trophic resource partitioning is one of the main drivers of adaptive radiation. The
evolutionary diversification of large African barbs, the genus Labeobarbus, seems to be …

Taxonomic revision of Phoxinus from the Caucasus revealed two distinct species. One
species, P. colchicus, was known from eastern drainage of Black Sea, but was recorded also …

Adaptive radiation of fishes was long thought to be possible only in lacustrine environments.

The snout-vent length (SVL), a conventional measure of overall body size in lizards and
snakes, is used in a wide variety of ecological, evolutionary, and taxonomical studies …

The morphology, phylogenetic position, and distribution of a recently revalidated species of
leuciscid minnow, Phoxinus isetensis, were substantially clarified. The species was …

The paper analyzes the morphological diversification of individuals of the generalized form
of the Barbus intermedius complex in comparison with the diversification of specialized …

The patterns of growth and development have been studied in L. maculatus early life stages
of different ecological groups (pelagic and demersal) from Kongsfjorden and Billefjorden …
