DNA research? (was: apisto sp ampiyacu)

[Frauley/Elson <fraulels@minet.ca>]

Hi all, 

This question of 'rotpunkt' distribution, plus questions like the
njisseni/panduro/atahualpa group, all the Agas and cacatuoides and such
leave me with a question. Does anyone on the list know of anyone doing
research into what the DNA of apistos can show us about evolutionary
relationships?
There's really interesting work being done on killies. While hobbyist
interest isn't the goal of such research, it's pretty enlightening for
aquarists. It would be nice to know what, if anything is being done yet,
is showing up with such research on Apistogramma.
This is simply a question - I'm just an English teacher with a basement
full of glass boxes...

PS, also, is anyone describing the 'rotpunkt' types? For a fish so
established in the hobby, and so interesting, they seem very neglected.
