  abstract = {{T}he phylogenetic relationships within the piranhas were assessed using mitochondrial sequences with the aim of testing several hypotheses proposed to explain the origin of {N}eotropical diversity (palaeogeography, hydrogeology and museum hypotheses). {S}equences of the ribosomal 16{S} gene (510 bp) and control region (980 bp) were obtained from 15 localities throughout the main {S}outh {A}merican rivers for 21 of the 28 extant piranha species. {T}he results indicate that the genus {S}errasalmus is monophyletic and comprises three major clades. {T}he phylogeographical analyses of these clades allowed the identification of five vicariant events, extensive dispersal and four lineage duplications suggesting the occurrence of sympatric speciation. {B}iogeographical patterns are consistent with the prediction made by the museum hypothesis that lineages from the {P}recambrian shields are older than those from the lowlands of the {A}mazon. {T}he vicariant events inferred here match the distribution of the palaeoarches and several postdispersal speciation events are identified, thereby matching the predictions of the palaeogeography and hydrogeology hypotheses, respectively. {M}olecular clock calibration of the control region sequences indicates that the main lineages differentiated from their most recent common ancestor at 9 million years ago in the proto {A}mazon-{O}rinoco and the present rate of diversification is the highest reported to date for large carnivorous {C}haraciformes. {T}he present results emphasize that an interaction among geology, sea-level changes, and hydrography created opportunities for cladogenesis in the piranhas at different temporal and geographical scales.},
