| Evolutionary Biology - Whalefishes (458 words) |
 | Phylogenetic investigations of the Stephanoberyciformes and Beryciformes, particularly whalefishes (Euteleostei: Cetomimidae) |
 | Beryciformes in particular is unlikely to be a monophyletic group, with the Berycidae (possibly) and Holocentridae (probably) being more closely related to other lineages. |
 | The Stephanoberyciformes is also unlikely to be a monophyletic group as our samples of one of its supposed families, the Melamphaidae is sister to the Berycidae in the 16S and combined analyses, but dispersed in the 12S analyses. |
