Systematics and biogeography: an overview

G. J. Howes
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of the anatomy, diversity and ecology of the cyprinid family is given, along with a taxonomy and classification of the family, and a revised classification is presented.

TL;DR: The hexaploid African Labeobarbus & allies and Western Asian Capoeta are likely derived from two independent hybridization events between their respective maternal tetraploid ancestors and Cyprinion.

Potential role of the palaeohistory of the Mediterranean and Paratethys basins on the early dispersal of Euro-Mediterranean freshwater fishes

Pier Giorgio Bianco
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of primary freshwater fishes in 12 peri-Mediterranean ichthyogeographic districts is recognized based on the analysis of the fossil record, palaeogeography and palaeoencology data of the Mediterranean and Paratethys.

Phylogeny and biogeography of the family Cyprinidae in the Middle East inferred from cytochrome b DNA- evolutionary significance of this region

Jean-Dominique Durand, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of cyprinid species from the Middle East and neighboring biogeographical areas were investigated using cytochrome b sequence variation in order to test hypotheses that consider the Middle Eastern area as an important interchange area or a center of speciation for the freshwater fauna.
