Karyoevolution of Crenicichla heckel 1840 (Cichlidae, Perciformes): a process mediated by inversions

Crenicichla (Cichliformes, Cichlidae) present a highly conserved diploid number 2n=48 with fundamental numbers varying between 52 and 62. We analyzed four species in order to investigate the role of repetitive DNA in chromosome evolution in the genus. Crenicichla johanna, Crenicichla cf. saxatilis a...
