We examined ontogenetic changes in morphology of four non-migratory ‘flathead’ galaxiid fishes and interspecific differences. Geometric analyses were used to determine where ontogenetic shifts occur, examine growth trajectories between taxa and c

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the contributions of Gondwananvicariance and marine dispersal to the contemporary distribution of galaxiidfishes. This group has been central in arguments concerning the roles of dispersaland vicariance in

Temperate lands of the Southern Hemisphere have freshwater f ish faunas that are dominated by a series of lower euteleostean genera that seem to fall into three clusters: 1) Retropinna, Stokellia and Prototroctes, forming a family Retropinnidae; 2) A

Amphidromous fishes are found predominantly on the tropical and subtropical islands of the globe and there are few amphidromous species on continents. I suggest that this idiosyncratic distribution relates in part to problems in self-recruitment on i

The small, transparent gobioid Gobiopterus semivestitus is recorded for the first time from New Zealand, from a tributary of Ngunguru River, near Whangarei, Northland. Distinctive features of its sexual dimorphism are reported, in particular enlarged

Suggestions that anadromy predominates in northern high latitudes because boreal marine seas have high primary productivity are questioned. Instead, post-Pleistocene invasion of far northern fresh waters, which became inhabitable as Pleistocene tempe

Galaxiid fishes are commonly assumed to exhibit a Gondwanan distribution, but little fossil evidence has been available to support or refute this assumption until now. Here we report on three species of fossil Galaxias, represented by exquisitely pre

Amphidromy is a distinctive form of diadromy that involves some fish, decapod crustaceans and gastropod molluscs. Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and

The galaxioid fishes are the dominant, most speciose group of freshwater fishes (with >50 species) in the lands of the cool southern hemisphere, with representatives in western and eastern Australia, Tasmania, New Caledonia, Lord Howe Island, New Zea
