Dillman C, Sidlauskas B, Vari R
Cladistics . 2021 Nov; 32(3):276-296. PMID: 34736306
Although 11 studies have addressed the systematics of the four families and 281 fish species of the ecomorphologically diverse Anostomoidea, none has proposed a global hypothesis of relationships. We synthesized...

Evolution . 2018 Nov; 73(2):329-345. PMID: 30426469
Phylogenomic studies using genome-wide datasets are quickly becoming the state of the art for systematics and comparative studies, but in many cases, they result in strongly supported incongruent results. The...

Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2018 Jun; 127:800-812. PMID: 29935301
Curimatidae, the fourth largest family of detritivorous Neotropical characiform fishes, encompasses eight extant genera and over 110 species dwelling in diverse freshwater habitats from Costa Rica to Argentina. Extensive phylogenetic...

Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2017 May; 113:23-32. PMID: 28478196
The African freshwater suborder Citharinoidei (Characiformes) includes 110 species that exhibit a diversity of feeding modes comparable to those characteristic of more speciose groups such its sister, the Characoidei (2000+...

Frable B, Melo B, Sidlauskas B, Hoekzema K, Vari R, Oliveira C
Data Brief . 2016 Sep; 9:128-42. PMID: 27642619
The data presented herein support the article "Molecular phylogenetics of the Neotropical fish family Prochilodontidae (Teleostei: Characiformes)" (B.F. Melo, B.L. Sidlauskas, B.W. Frable, K. Hoekzema, R.P. Vari, C. Oliveira, 2016)...

Zootaxa . 2016 Sep; 4162(3):571-80. PMID: 27615992
We present and discuss VARSEDIG, an algorithm which identifies the morphometric features that significantly discriminate two taxa and validates the morphological distinctness between them via a Monte-Carlo test. VARSEDIG is...

Melo B, Sidlauskas B, Hoekzema K, Frable B, Vari R, Oliveira C
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2016 Jun; 102:189-201. PMID: 27262428
Migratory detritivores of the characiform family Prochilodontidae occur throughout the freshwaters of much of South America. Prochilodontids often form massive populations and many species achieve substantial body sizes; a combination...

Davis A, Unmack P, Vari R, Betancur-R R
Am Nat . 2016 Feb; 187(3):320-33. PMID: 26913945
Trophic shifts into new adaptive zones have played major (although often conflicting) roles in reshaping the evolutionary trajectories of many lineages. We analyze data on diet, tooth, and oral morphology...

Carvalho M, Vari R
Zoology (Jena) . 2015 Jan; 118(1):34-50. PMID: 25595854
Development of the mandibular, hyoid and gill arches, which constitute the splanchnocranium, are described for Prochilodus argenteus, order Characiformes, one of the basal lineages of the Otophysi. Development was examined...
