Phylogenetic relationships of 31 pomacanthid species representing all genera were investigated by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Nei's genetic distances (D) were calculated and dendrograms constructed from allozyme variation in 23 loci. The average D value was 0.03 between conspecific colour variants, 0.40 between congeneric subgenera, and 1.27 between confamilial genera. From the dendrograms the following were revealed: (1) the generic status of Apolemichthys arcuatus and Holacanthus…

Evolution and biogeography of marine angelfishes (Pisces: Pomacanthidae).
Close karyotypical relationship between two species of marine angelfishes from South Atlantic: Pomacanthus arcuatus and P. paru (Perciformes, Pomacanthidae)
TLDR
The high level of resemblance between karyotypes from both species indicates their close phylogenetic relationship and diverges, although slightly, from the cytogenetical pattern so far described for Pomacanthidae representatives.
Chromosomal diversification of reef fishes from genus Centropyge(Perciformes, Pomacanthidae)
TLDR
It is demonstrated that, even within a group generally characterized by cytogenetical homogeneity as the family Pomacanthidae, diversified karyotypes can be found.

TLDR
Differences in the genetic structure among co-occurring species should be taken into consideration for the conservation of eventual evolutionary units along the Brazilian Province.

TLDR
Differences in the genetic structure among co-occurring species should be taken into consideration for the conservation of eventual evolutionary units along the Brazilian Province.
Cytogenetic Analysis of Coral Reef Fishes from Brazil (Families Pomacanthidae and Chaetodontidae)
Three perciform species associated to coral reefs were, for the first time, investigated under a cytogenetic focus: Holacanthus ciliaris and H. tricolor from family Pomacanthidae and Chaetodon…
Evolution of High Trophic Diversity Based on Limited Functional Disparity in the Feeding Apparatus of Marine Angelfishes (f. Pomacanthidae)
TLDR
Angelfishes provide an intriguing example of a successful group that appears to have evolved considerable trophic diversity based on an unusual yet conserved feeding apparatus configuration that is characterized by limited functional disparity.
Age-based demography and reproductive ontogeny of angelfishes belonging to the family Pomacanthidae
TLDR
An age-based approach combined with gonad histology was used in this thesis to examine the growth and longevity, reproductive ontogeny and the mechanism underlying larger male size in the study species.

Speciation and Evolution of Marine Fishes Studied by the Electrophoretic Analysis of Proteins
TLDR
Electrophoretic analysis of proteins can be utilized to clarify the taxonomic status of species as well as the evolutionary interrelationships of populations, species, and higher taxa to demonstrate the existence of two discrete species in Hawaii and throughout the Indo-West Pacific.
Genetic variation in marine teleosts: High variability in habitat specialists and low variability in habitat generalists
TLDR
It is suggested that much of the data can be explained by a habitat specialist-generalist model, with high heterozygosities in specialists and low heterozygOSities in generalists, but that this is only one of a mosaic of factors which influence genetic variation.
Evidence for the Elevation to Family Status of the Angelfishes (Pomacanthidae), Previously Considered to be a Subfamily of the Butterflyfish Family, Chaetodontidae
TLDR
The butterflyfishes and angelfishes classified as two subfamilies Chaetodontinae and Pomacanthinae are classified on the basis of the following anatomical and life history differences.
A comparative analysis of the feeding apparatus in pomacanthids, with special emphasis of oesophageal papillae in Genicanthus personatus
TLDR
The oesophageal papillae may constitute a morphological specialization of the digestive tract at the genus level and enable Genicanthus spp.
Apolemichthys kingi, a new species of angelfish (Pomacanthidae) from South Africa : with comments on the classification of angelfishes and a checklist of the Pomacanthids of the western Indian Ocean
TLDR
A new species of angelfish is described from three specimens collected in 30 m off Durban, South Africa, and an annotated checklist of the pomacanthids of the Western Indian Ocean is presented.
Systematic Value of Electrophoretic Data
TLDR
A survey of the literature indicates that when such arrangements are made, they usually correspond very closely to previously recognized relationships of various species groups based on classical systematic criteria, which makes it clear that electrophoretic techniques will provide an extremely valuable tool for systematists.
An intensive study of allozyme variation in freshwater resident and anadromous trout, Salmo trutta L., in western Ireland*
TLDR
In the upper part of the Burrishoole system, anadromous trout do not appear to comprise a separate population from non-migratory trout and interbreeding may occur, but in the lower part of this system, this appears to be the case.
A comparison of genetic diversity levels in marine, freshwater, and anadromous fishes
TLDR
Electrophoretic data were analysed from 49 species of freshwater fish, 57 species of marine fish, and seven anadromous species to show reduced values of Hs in freshwater species are likely to reflect reduced effective subpopulation sizes relative to marine species.
