Overview

Phylogenomic analysis reveals Labeo monophyly and species clades, suggesting new taxonomic revisions.

Key Points

  • Labeo forms a monophyletic group, with three major clades identified across Africa.
  • Phylogenomic analysis utilized 2,187 ultraconserved elements from 85 taxa, revealing significant clade diversity.
  • Investigations underscore the Miocene's role in the diversification of African freshwater fishes.
  • This framework supports necessary taxonomic revisions for effective management of Labeo species.
