Molecular cytogenetic analyses reveal extensive chromosomal rearrangements and novel B chromosomes in Moenkhausia (Teleostei, Characidae)

Abstract The cytogenetic characteristics of five fish species of the Moenkhausia are described, based on the analysis of specimens collected in different headwater. All the species analyzed presented 2n=50 chromosomes. The C-banding revealed a similar distribution pattern of heterochromatic blocks i...
