Phylogenetic analysis shows the general diversification pattern of deep-sea notacanthiforms (Teleostei: Elopomorpha)
Abstract
The first genus-level phylogeny of deep-sea notacanthiform fishes is presented. Molecular data confirm Lipogenys as the sister lineage of all the Notacanthidae. Modern notacanthiform genera can be traced back to the Paleocene-Eocene diversification event.
