What is Characidae Phylogeny and Morphology Analysis about?

This document presents a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the Characidae family, integrating 520 morphological characters and molecular data across 473 species. The study identifies four main clades within the Characidae and proposes a new subfamilial classification while highlighting the need for further systematic revisions. The findings align with previous molecular phylogenies, confirming the monophyly of the Characidae and revealing a stem lineage from Eocene-Oligocene genera.
