Intellectual Merit - This study will develop a phylogeny and classification for the fishes of the Order Cypriniformes, the largest group of entirely freshwater fishes in the world with 3,285 described, and as many as 2,600 undescribed species. This group contains the minnows, suckers, loaches, river loaches and algae eaters. Many of these fishes have economic and scientific importance. Several large carp are an important protein source in Asia, and paradoxically, are nuisance, invasive species in North America. The zebrafish is a model organism for developmental biologists; the fathead minnow is used as an indicator species in environmental work; and goldfish are widely studied by physiologists. Many species are kept by aquarists, a hobby that has vast educational and economic impacts. Our project is international in scope with 27 collaborators, including some of the most prominent cypriniform systematists from across the globe. The group includes paleontologists, neontologists, developmental biologists, and molecular systematists. We will develop phylogenies using genomic data for a set of nuclear and mitochondrial genes, including a subset of complete mitochondrial genomes as well as morphological data from fossil and extant species. Broader Impacts - The phylogeny, including the developmental information, will broaden the scope of work based on the zebrafish and other model species, and will produce a stable classification. We will describe new species, expanding our understanding of biodiversity. Our study has significant broader impacts beyond pure research with student education in systematics, evolution, biodiversity, development, and morphology, international collaboration, and critical information on model organisms like the zebrafish, fathead minnow, and goldfish. The prncipal and co-principal investigators reresent a diverse group of scientists at many career stages (2 of 10 are female; 2 of 10 are minorities; 2 of 10 have physical disabilities; 5 of 10 are new investigators) and come from diverse institutions (3 private universities and 4 public universities; 4 of the institutions are in EPSCoR jurisdictions). A NOVA television program will be produced and public meetings will be held. Information will be disseminated via a project web portal (http://bio.slu.edu/mayden/cypriniformes/projects.html) as well as conventional scientific publication.

智力优点 - 这项研究将为塞具命令的鱼类的鱼类开发出一种系统发育和分类，这是世界上最大的全淡水鱼，描述了3,285种，多达2,600种未描述的物种。 该小组包含小鱼，吸盘，loaches，河流和藻类食客。 这些鱼中的许多人具有经济和科学的重要性。 几个大鲤鱼是亚洲的重要蛋白质来源，矛盾的是北美的滋扰，入侵物种。 斑马鱼是发展生物学家的模型生物。 Fathead Minnow被用作环境工作中的指标物种。和金鱼是由生理学家广泛研究的。 许多物种都由水产师保存，这种爱好具有巨大的教育和经济影响。 我们的项目与27个合作者有关，其中包括来自全球的一些最杰出的塞浦路斯系统主义者。 该小组包括古生物学家，新生物学家，发育生物学家和分子系统主义者。我们将使用一组核和线粒体基因的基因组数据开发系统发育，包括一部分的线粒体基因组的子集以及化石和现存物种的形态学数据。更广泛的影响 - 系统发育，包括发展信息，将扩大基于斑马鱼和其他模型物种的工作范围，并将产生稳定的分类。我们将描述新物种，扩大我们对生物多样性的理解。我们的研究除了纯粹的研究与学生教育有关系统学，进化，生物多样性，发展和形态，国际合作以及有关模型生物（如斑马鱼，Fathead Minnow和Goldfish）等模型生物的关键信息的纯粹研究外，具有更广泛的影响。在许多职业阶段，prncipal和联合主持的研究人员重新研究了一群多样化的科学家（10个中的2个是女性； 10个中有2个是少数群体； 10个中的2个是身体上的残疾； 10个中有10名是新调查人员），来自多元化的机构（3个私立大学和4个公立大学； 4个机构；其中4个机构是EpScorcor con的司法管辖区）。将制定一项Nova电视节目，并举行公开会议。信息将通过项目Web门户（http://bio.slu.edu/mayden/cypriniformes/projects.html）以及常规的科学出版物传播。
