Article Synopsis
- Lebiasinidae fishes have been largely overlooked in cytogenetic studies, which has led to a new analysis of eleven species within this family to determine their genomic characteristics.
- The research identified two main trends in chromosomal evolution: one stable condition with 36 bi-armed chromosomes in Lebiasininae, and another marked by significant chromosomal changes, particularly acrocentrization, in Pyrrhulininae.
- Additionally, the study highlights the varied distribution of ribosomal DNA among these species, indicating a general trend of 18S rDNA positioning, which may reflect an evolutionary link between Lebiasinidae and Ctenoluciidae families.
