Morphological evolution, aptations, homoplasies, constraints and evolutionary trends : catfishes as a case study on general phylogeny and macroevolution /

The major aim of this work is, to help clarify the interrelationships of catfishes, with major implications on the study of the general evolution of these fishes. A great part of this work, therefore, deals with a cladistic analysis of catfish higher-level phylogeny based on extensive morphological...
