Glandulocaudinae : ウィキペディア英語版 | Glandulocaudinae
Glandulocaudinae is a subfamily of tropical characin fish from Central and South America. In all species of this subfamily, a gland on their caudal fin is found almost exclusively in the males, which allows the release and pumping of pheromones; also, members of this subfamily have complex courtship behaviors which lead to insemination. The ecology and life history of these fish is complex yet little studied. Glandulocaudines are important as food fish for larger fish important for commercial and subsistence reasons.〔 ==Taxonomy== Glandulocaudinae consists of twenty genera divided among seven monophyletic, morphologically differing tribes. The monophyly of the subfamily itself needs much further investigation.〔 There are about 60 species.〔〔 However, there remain many undescribed species.
