sertraliini

Sertraliini is a taxonomic tribe used in zoological classification. In the hierarchy of biological ranks, a tribe sits between the subfamily and the genus and is used to group related genera within a family. The recognition and composition of sertraliini have varied among authorities, and its status as a distinct tribe is not universally accepted.

The membership of sertraliini, when it is recognized, is not consistently defined across classifications. Some sources list a particular set of genera as belonging to sertraliini, while others place those genera in different tribes or do not recognize the tribe at all. Consequently, there is no single, universally agreed list of included genera.

Taxonomic decisions about sertraliini are typically based on a combination of morphological characters and, increasingly, molecular phylogenetic data. Diagnostic traits used to delimit tribes can differ between studies, and ongoing research may lead to reclassification or changes in circumscription. As a result, the defining features of sertraliini and its member taxa are subject to revision.

Geographic distribution and ecological associations of sertraliini depend on the particular genera included in the tribe in a given source. Because the tribe’s circumscription is variable, there is no single global distribution that can be asserted.
