Habitats for Cypriniformes

Cypriniform species are extremely variable morphologically and ecologically. The latter is evident from their wide distribution that includes virtually every type of freshwater habitat and an amazing diversity of reproductive and life-history strategies, as discussed by Winfield & Nelson (1991) and MacDonald (2008), and at http://cypriniformes.org/ctol/home.html and http://www.loaches.com/ websites.

This is the primary page opening to two very large research initiatives on Cypriniformes fishes: the All Cypriniformes Species Inventory (ACSI-2), funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation DEB-1022720 (Dr. Lawrence M. Page, University of Florida), DEB-1023403 (Dr. Jonathan Armbruster, Auburn University), and DEB-1021840 (Dr. Richard L. Mayden, Saint Louis University )and The Cypriniformes Tree of Life (CToL), funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation EF-0431326 (Drs. R. L. Mayden, R. M. Wood, and N. Aspinwall).
