The order of Catfishes (Siluriformes) is one of the largest in number of families, genera, and species. The group is found in most freshwaters and shallow saltwater bodies around the world. Its extraordinary evolutionary and biogeographic pathways leave many open questions on its origin and large diversification that make its study a complex subject, yet a fascinating field for research. Catfishes, a Highly Diversified Group is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (Their Outstanding Biology, 14 chapters) aims to rectify the incomplete information on the enormous morphological diversity of the group, special habits and adaptations to specific environments, and morpho-functional characteristics of the catfishes. Volume 2 (Evolution and Phylogeny, 18 chapters) deals with evolutionary mechanisms and major evolutionary trends within Siluriformes, investigating new avenues concerning fossil and extant catfishes and relationships within and among families, using morphological and molecular evidence.

This two-volume set deals with diverse information on fossil and modern siluriform fishes, providing an overview of knowledge, research and scientific disagreements yet to be solved. The book is a synethesis of specialized articles that present the state of knowledge of catfish biology. The first volume covers anatomy, function and functional morphology, and the phylogenetic relationships among siluriforms and systematics of certain catfish groups. The second volume includes chapters on the fossil records and palaeodistribution, ecology and ethology, development and sensory biology.
