Article Synopsis
- - The Neotropics is home to the richest freshwater fish diversity, but there's debate on when this diversity developed—gradually over time or more recently.
- - A study of characoid fishes using a detailed phylogeny indicates that while the major lineages have ancient origins, most species emerged more recently, around 30 million years ago during a period of significant wetland formation.
- - Notable lineages (Anostomidae, Serrasalmidae, and Characidae) experienced rapid diversification in the Oligocene and together make up a large portion of characoid species, suggesting that the Neotropics has both preserved diverse lineages and fostered the emergence of new species relatively recently.
