The phylogeny of the flyingfish family Exocoetidae is studied cladistically, using 41 morphological characters encompassing early life history, and external and internal features. The monophyly of the family is supported by 10 synapomorphies. Within the family,Oxyporhamphus is the sister group to all other genera, the monophyly of the latter being defined by 10 synapomorphies.Fodiator is the sister group of genera characterized by the presence of chin barbels in juveniles.Parexocoetus is the… Expand

Molecular systematics of flyingfishes (Teleostei: Exocoetidae): evolution in the epipelagic zone
TLDR
A species-level molecular phylogeny for the flyingfish family Exocoetidae is described, based on data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1137 bp) and the nuclear RAG2 gene (882 bp), which finds strong support for previous morphology-based phylogenetic hypotheses, as well as the monophyly of most currently accepted flyingfish genera.

Evolution and Ecology of Flyingfishes (Teleostei:Exocoetidae)
TLDR
This thesis proposes the first species-level phylogenetic hypothesis for the flyingfishes, based on nuclear and mtDNA sequences, and shows that the most speciose genus (Cheilopogon) is paraphyletic, and investigates species abundance, richness, diversity, and distributions within the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

Skull structure of the flying fish Cheilopogon pinnatibarbatus (Beloniformes, Exocoetidae)
The skull of the flying fish Cheilopogon pinnatibarbatus is first described in comparison with literature data on other four-winged flying fishes (subfamily Cypselurinae). The skull of Ch.… Expand
A comparative description and distribution of the flying fishes—Cypselurus poecilopterus, C. simus, and C. callopterus, sorted out into the species group of spotwing species of the subgenus Poecilocypselurus
The three species of flying fishes—Indo-Pacific Cypselurus poecilopterus, Central Pacific C. simus, and Eastern Pacific C. callopterus form a particular species group within the subgenus… Expand
Efficiency of DNA barcoding for phylogenetic analysis and species identification in flying fish (Exocoetidae)
TLDR
It has been demonstrated that DNA barcoding can be used as an extra tool for species identification and phylogenetic analysis in flying fish, since species identification accuracy using the cox 1 gene sequence proved to be 88%, or 78% when intraspecies variability level is taken into account.

Modulation of bioelectric cues in the evolution of flying fishes
TLDR
A phylogenomic analysis of genome-wide variation in 35 species of flying fishes and relatives finds a surprising role for an L-type amino acid transporter, lat4a, and the potassium channel, kcnh2a, in the regulation of fin proportion. Expand
Fossils and the Tree of Life : ghost ranges, stratigraphic congruence and data quality
TLDR
A novel script was developed to automatically carry out continuous taxon jackknifing to investigate the effect of taxon sampling on the stability of phylogenetic trees and it was found that measures of homoplasy and support could serve as partial indicators of whether a tree was likely to be sensitive toTaxon sampling. Expand
Novel regulators of growth identified in the evolution of fin proportion in flying fish
TLDR
A phylogenomic analysis of genome-wide variation in 35 species of flying fishes and relatives identifies genetic signatures in both coding and regulatory regions underlying the convergent evolution of increased paired fin size and aerial gliding behaviors, key innovations forFlying fishes and flying halfbeaks. Expand
Developmental constraints on fin diversity
TLDR
The evolutionary history, developmental mechanisms, and evolutionary underpinnings of paired fins are reviewed, illuminating possible developmental constraints on fin evolution. Expand

The hemiramphid,Oxyporhamphus, is a flyingfish (exocoetidae)
TLDR
Oxyporhamphus is transferred to the Exocoetidae, with which it shares a total of 10 derived conditions, including a lower jaw of adults not elongate and the premaxilla with a straight anterior margin. Expand
Wing-loading, stability and morphometric relationships in flying fish (Exocoetidae) from the North-eastern Atlantic
TLDR
Evidence is presented to show that hypertrophied pelvic fins in four-wingers are required to solve problems of stability in pitch, rather than to decrease wing-loading. Expand
Mechanics and Functions of Jaw Protrusion in Teleost Fishes: A Review
TLDR
Protrusion may either result in a decrease in predation and/or feeding may be energetically more efficient than without it, as a result of a) greater prey capture success with protrusion, b) decreased energy necessary to capture or ingest prey. Expand
