The number of published studies using geometric morphometrics (GM) for analysing
biological shape has increased steadily since the beginning of the 1990s, covering multiple …

Through a series of phylogenetic and taxonomic works, the unwieldy and non-monophyletic
genus Barbus was reduced to just the typical Barbus of Europe and East Asia and most of …

Changes made to the scientific names of southern African freshwater fishes since 2001 are
explained and discussed. Adjustments to the phylogeny and classification of the fauna are …

The phylogenetics and taxonomic status of small African barbs (Cyprininae: Smiliogastrini)
remains unresolved despite the recent decision to elevate the genus name Enteromius for …

Research on freshwater ecosystems in East Africa is providing a better understanding of the
biodiversity in the region. Recent studies of the Kenyan barbs (Cyprininae: Smiliogastrini) …

The search for phylogenetic signal in morphological traits using geometric morphometrics
represents a powerful approach to estimate the relative weights of convergence and shared …

Labeo is the third most diverse genus of African cyprinids and is widely distributed across
the continent. Labeo parvus, a small species originally described from the Congo basin, has …

Background Morphological convergence triggered by trophic adaptations is a common
pattern in adaptive radiations. The study of shape variation in an evolutionary context is …

A remarkable diversification of the freshwater ichthyofauna in the Peri-Mediterranean is an
outstanding legacy of the complex paleogeographical and evolutionary history of southern …

We assessed the fish diversity of the Ogooué and Sébé rivers in and around the Rapids of
Mboungou Badouma and Doumé Ramsar site in Gabon. The ichthyofauna of this region has …
