Chromosomal NORs as taxonomic and systematic characters in North American cyprinid fishes

There is substantial interspecific variation in chromosomal NORs among North American cyprinid fishes. This variation is taxonomically informative. In addition, the chromosomal NOR database appears to provide a framework from which systematic or phylogenetic inferences can be made. The present appro...

Description
Summary:There is substantial interspecific variation in chromosomal NORs among North American cyprinid fishes. This variation is taxonomically informative. In addition, the chromosomal NOR database appears to provide a framework from which systematic or phylogenetic inferences can be made. The present approach to making such inferences from chromosomal NOR data is discussed.
