Evolutionary History of Freshwater Fishes during the Last 200 Million Yearsfocuses on freshwater environments and the fact that they contain about half of the world's diverse bony fish species. Freshwater assemblages contain among the most primitive bony fishes, such as bichirs, sturgeons and gars, but also the most recent and diverse radiations, such as the African cichlids. The fossil record of freshwater fishes is rather patchy, but it unveils a complex history shaped by the evolution of the paleogeography and by the extraordinary key innovations that freshwater fishes developed to adapt in a broad variety of environments.

This book explores a wealth of active field research, including such hot topics as biological radiations in east African lakes or phylogeographic studies of ostariophysan fish groups, bringing a deep-time perspective. The book connects several fields of research, namely paleoecology, paleogeography, and evolution.

  • Gathers and synthetizes a vast number of publications, documenting the main past freshwater assemblages and several fish lineages which invaded freshwaters
  • Describes the work of the author's own team, concerning fauna from the Cretaceous of France, Morocco, and Thailand
  • Presents the recent results of the tempo of diversification in freshwater environments and the evolutionary histories of clades and gar lineages
