Killi-Data is all about fish that are so important to ichthyologists, biologists, aquarists, ecologists, conservationists, environmentalists, and behaviorists, because of their unique characteristics. If you are a new comer to Killifishes, discover their SPECIFICITIES, and their BEAUTIES, their ECOLOGY-BEHAVIOURS.
Killi-Data presents all available top quality information on Killies or oviparous Cyprinodontiformes fishes, including a data base, with full ichthyological, ecological, behavioral, and historical coverage for each taxon and, with all aquarium information of maintenance and breeding, and, with all details of systematics, morpho-osteology, genetics, patterns for each today valid name.
Killi-Data is a scientific knowledge base, built on latest evidence only (EXCEPTIONS : in case of published evidence-based systematic contemporary conflicts for a genus, conservatism is selected, and, in case of molecular separation of a species previously set as a synonym, revalidation is only accepted if a published new diagnosis is proposed, in both cases fully in line with ICZN principles)
