Karyotypic Diversity and Evolution in a Sympatric Assemblage of Neotropical Electric Knifefish
Chromosome changes can perform an important role in speciation by acting as post-zygotic reproductive barriers. The Neotropical electric fish genus Brachyhypopomus (Gymnotiformes, Hypopomidae) has 28 described species, but cytogenetic data are hitherto available only for four of them. To understand...
