Phylogenetic Data for Select Australian Freshwater Fishes

The following clades are being generated as part of my PhD work on the biogeography of various Australian fish groups. They tend to be updated regularly as I gather more sequence data. Please do not use or copy these trees to anywhere else, they are only preliminary, and hence are very likely to change as more data is accumulated. Additionally, most of the sequences this is based on have not been thoroughly checked for reading errors. There are largely being placed here so others who have contributed to collection of samples and in other ways can see the progress.

Percichthyidae data, including cytochrome b and S7 intron data.

Rainbowfish data, including cytochrome b, S7 intron and allozyme data.

Craterocephalus (Atherinidae) neighbour joining tree based on the entire cyt. B gene (1140 bases). Jukes-Cantor is the substitution model used to calculate distances.

Craterocephalus (Atherinidae) consensus tree for the 10 parsimony trees (1000 reps). It is based on the entire cyt. B gene (1140 bases).

Craterocephalus fast bootstrap tree (1000 reps) based on the entire cyt. B gene (1140 baes).
