The first records of sympatric populations of the poorly studied sister species Brachyrhaphis roseni and Brachyrhaphis terrabensis are presented. Sympatric populations were found in a total of 14 localities in four river drainages throughout the Pacific slopes of western Panama, and they occurred in a wide range of elevations, from 90 to 651 m. These data expand the elevation range of each species, and provide the first case of sympatric sister species within the genus.

D003532 Cyprinodontiformes An order of fish with eight families and numerous species of both egg-laying and livebearing fish. Families include Cyprinodontidae (egg-laying KILLIFISHES;), FUNDULIDAEl; (topminnows), Goodeidae (Mexican livebearers), Jenynsiidae (jenynsiids), Poeciliidae (livebearers), Profundulidae (Middle American killifishes), Aplocheilidae, and Rivulidae (rivulines). In the family Poeciliidae, the guppy and molly belong to the genus POECILIA. Gambusia,Mosquito Fish,Platyfish,Xiphophorus,Fish, Mosquito,Gambusias

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
