Flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) are a species‐rich and distinct group of fishes characterized by cranial asymmetry. Flatfishes occupy a wide diversity of habitats, including the tropical deep‐sea and freshwaters, and often are small‐bodied fishes. Most scientific effort, however, has been focused on large‐bodied temperate marine species important in fisheries. Phylogenetic study of flatfishes has also long been limited in scope and focused on the placement and monophyly of flatfishes. As a… Expand

The Phylogeny of Carangiform Fishes: Morphological and Genomic Investigations of a New Fish Clade
TLDR
Combined analyses of new and previously identified discrete morphological characters and new andPreviously published genome-scale data are performed to characterize the evolutionary history and anatomical variation within this clade of fishes. Expand
Beyond Bycatch: The Species Diversity of Tonguesole (Pleuronectiformes: Cynoglossidae) in Coastal Fisheries of the Tanintharyi Region, Southern Myanmar
Flatfishes in the family Cynoglossidae are an important coastal fishery in Myanmar. Due to the overlapping morphologies of multiple tonguesole species, caught both as bycatch from trawl fisheries and… Expand
The distribution of the recessus orbitalis across flatfishes (order: Pleuronectiformes).
TLDR
New dissections and examination of images taken in the wild show that the recessus orbitalis is present in all representatives of Pleuronectoidei examined, but is absent in the single species of Psettoidei dissected. Expand

Are flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) monophyletic?
TLDR
This study addresses the question of pleuronectiform monophyly with a broad set of markers (from six phylogenetically informative nuclear loci) and inference methods designed to limit the influence of phylogenetic artifacts and discusses the compatibility of the molecular hypothesis with morphological data regarding extinct and extant flatfish forms. Expand
Revised classification of the righteye flounders (Teleostei: Pleuronectidae) based on multilocus phylogeny with complete taxon sampling.
TLDR
A comprehensive taxonomic reassessment of the family Pleuronectidae is proposed based on the molecular phylogeny reconstructed from four nuclear and three mitochondrial loci and represented by complete taxon sampling of all but one valid species currently assigned to this family. Expand
Mitochondrial genomic investigation of flatfish monophyly.
TLDR
The first study to use whole mitochondrial genome sequences to examine phylogenetic affinities of the flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) is presented, yielding strong support for clade L and weak support for the monophyly of Pleuronctiformes. Expand
Molecular evidence for the monophyly of flatfishes (Carangimorpharia: Pleuronectiformes).
TLDR
A reanalysis of evidence suggests the contrary and combination of the new data with existing datasets unequivocally supports the monophyly of this group based on analyses of concatenated data as well as species tree approaches. Expand
Phylogeny of the Elopomorpha (Teleostei): evidence from six nuclear and mitochondrial markers.
TLDR
A revised classification for the Elopomorpha is proposed, comprised of four orders, including a resurrected Notacanthiformes but surrendering the Saccopharyngiformes and four monophyletic suborders named Protanguilloidei, Muraenoidei), Anguilliformes, and Congroidei. Expand
Phylogenetic analysis of flatfish (Order Pleuronectiformes) based on mitochondrial 16s rDNA sequences
TLDR
The phylogenetic relationships of 30 flatfish species pertaining to seven different families were examined by sequence analysis of the first half of the 16S mitochondrial DNA gene and suggested the monophyly of Pleuronectiforms as the most probable hypothesis and consistently supported some major interfamily groupings. Expand
Flatfish monophyly refereed by the relationship of Psettodes in Carangimorphariae
TLDR
An evolutionary explanation for the difficulty in determining the phylogenetic position of Psettodes is proposed, which suggests that over a short period in the early Paleocene, a series of important evolutionary events occurred in carangimorphs. Expand
Pleuronectiform relationships : a cladistic reassessment
TLDR
It is concluded that phylogenetic knowledge within flatfishes remains very incomplete and the monophyletic status of speciose taxa such as the Pleuronectinae and Paralichthyidae will have to be reassessed before any fruitful statement of relationships can be formulated. Expand
The Tree of Life and a New Classification of Bony Fishes
TLDR
A comprehensive molecular phylogeny for bony fishes that includes representatives of all major lineages and the order Perciformes, considered by many a polyphyletic taxonomic waste basket, is defined for the first time as a monophyletic group in the global phylogeny. Expand
Phylogenetic analysis of the order Pleuronectiformes (Teleostei) based on sequences of 12S and 16S mitochondrial genes
TLDR
The results corroborate the monophyletic status of all families, excluding Paralichthyidae, and suggest that the freshwater habitats in South America were colonized independently by different achirid lineages. Expand
