Phylogenetic relationships and the temporal context for the diversification of African characins of the family Alestidae (Ostariophysi: Characiformes): Evidence from DNA sequence data

[Display omitted] ► The family Alestidae, as currently recognized, is not monophyletic. ► Its taxonomy needs to be revised due to multiple instances of poly- and paraphyly. ► The origin of the family Alestidae sensu stricto dates back to the Early Tertiary. ► Cladistic vicariance theories might not...
