      abstract = {This thesis examines the process by which continental fish  faunas arise, using the Great American Biotic Interchange  as a case study. The Interchange allowed South American  fishes to colonize North America. I examine the history of  this colonization in the Characiformes (Actinopterygii:  Ostariophysi), finding repeated colonization events and a  surprising non-monophyly of the group. I explore the  morphological variation in the standing diversity of North  American Characiformes, finding it to be a non-biased  subset of the variation found in South America. I also  examine intraspecific morphological variation along  environmental gradients, finding that this variation can be  equal to variation among species. Finally, I use ecological  niche modeling to predict the future spread of characiform  fishes in North America, finding that their projected  future ranges may be regulated by climate, but mediated by  diet.},
