- Present-day species of piranha result from a marine incursion into the Amazon Basin
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
A research team involving IRD scientists has acquired a better understanding of the evolutionary history of piranhas. About 4 million years BP, rise in sea level appears to have brought about the isolation of small populations of piranhas in the upper reaches of the great rivers. This situation favoured speciation and hence the formation of the present species. Such populations would then have descended to colonize the lowland waters of these rivers following the regression of the Atlantic Ocean.
