    Evolution of the African Tigerfish (Genus Hydrocynus) : phylogeographic insights into drainage evolution
    (2010) Goodier, Sarah; O'Ryan, Colleen; Cotterill, Woody
    Aquatic species,notably fish, can reveal details of drainage evolution, especially where their evolutionary relationships can be reconstructed using phylogeographic methods. In this study, the mitochondrial DNA sequence diversity of the characiform genus, Hydrocynus, which is widespread across tropical Africa, is reconstructed using a phylogenetic framework and divergences are dated using the cytochrome b (cyt) region.
