Advancing biology through a deeper understanding of zebrafish ecology and evolution.
Open accessAbstract
Over the last two decades, the zebrafish has joined the ranks of premier model organisms for biomedical research, with a full suite of tools and genomic resources. Yet we still know comparatively little about its natural history. Here I review what is known about the natural history of the zebrafish, where significant gaps in our knowledge remain, and how a fuller appreciation of this organism's ecology and behavior, population genetics, and phylogeny can inform a variety of research endeavors.

The Danioninae are an emerging model clade in the field of evo-devo, favoured for analyses of anatomy, pigmentation, gene family expansion and phylogeography.
“The Danioninae are an emerging model clade in the field of evo-devo, favoured for analyses of anatomy (especially bone morphology and growth), pigmentation, gene family expansion and phylogeography ( Braasch et al., 2015; Parichy, 2015).”
From The genome sequence of the Dracula fish, Danionella dracula (Britz, Conway & Rüber, 2009) (2024) · cites this paper as Parichy, 2015
The “Zebrafish relatives and their phylogeny” section (page unavailable) discusses Danioninae diversity in size and form, comparative development, Danio pigmentation, and phylogenetic relationships alongside geographic ranges. It does not support the more specific attribution that Danioninae are favoured for analyses of bone morphology and growth or gene family expansion. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
