  • Breviceps Adspersus” Documents B
    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 397-406 (2021) (published online on 22 February 2021) Phylogenetic analysis of “Breviceps adspersus” documents B. passmorei Minter et al., 2017 in Limpopo Province, South Africa Matthew P. Heinicke1,*, Mohamad H. Beidoun1, Stuart V. Nielsen1,2, and Aaron M. Bauer3 Abstract. Recent systematic work has shown the Breviceps mossambicus species group to be more species-rich than previously documented and has brought into question the identity of many populations, especially in northeastern South Africa. We obtained genetic data for eight specimens originally identified as B. adspersus from Limpopo Province, South Africa, as well as numerous specimens from the core range of B. adspersus in Namibia and Zimbabwe. Phylogenetic analysis shows that there is little genetic variation across the range of B. adspersus. However, most of our Limpopo specimens are not B. adspersus but rather B. passmorei, a species previously known only from the immediate vicinity of its type locality in KwaZulu-Natal. These new records extend the known range of B. passmorei by 360 km to the north. Our results emphasize the need to obtain fine- scale range-wide genetic data for Breviceps to better delimit the diversity and biogeography of the genus. Keywords. Brevicipitidae, cryptic species, Microhylidae, rain frog, systematics, Transvaal Introduction Breviceps adspersus, with a lectotype locality listed as “Damaraland” [= north-central Namibia], and other The genus Breviceps Merrem, 1820 includes 18 or 19 syntypes from both Damaraland and “Transvaal” [= described species of rain frogs distributed across eastern northeastern South Africa], has a southern distribution, and southern Africa (AmphibiaWeb, 2020; Frost, 2020). ranging from Namibia across much of Botswana, The genus includes two major clades: the gibbosus Zimbabwe, and South Africa to western Mozambique.

  • The Coincidence of Ecological Opportunity with Hybridization Explains Rapid Adaptive Radiation in Lake Mweru Cichlid fishes
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13278-z OPEN The coincidence of ecological opportunity with hybridization explains rapid adaptive radiation in Lake Mweru cichlid fishes Joana I. Meier 1,2,3,4, Rike B. Stelkens 1,2,5, Domino A. Joyce 6, Salome Mwaiko 1,2, Numel Phiri7, Ulrich K. Schliewen8, Oliver M. Selz 1,2, Catherine E. Wagner 1,2,9, Cyprian Katongo7 & Ole Seehausen 1,2* 1234567890():,; The process of adaptive radiation was classically hypothesized to require isolation of a lineage from its source (no gene flow) and from related species (no competition). Alternatively, hybridization between species may generate genetic variation that facilitates adaptive radiation. Here we study haplochromine cichlid assemblages in two African Great Lakes to test these hypotheses. Greater biotic isolation (fewer lineages) predicts fewer constraints by competition and hence more ecological opportunity in Lake Bangweulu, whereas opportunity for hybridization predicts increased genetic potential in Lake Mweru. In Lake Bangweulu, we find no evidence for hybridization but also no adaptive radiation. We show that the Bangweulu lineages also colonized Lake Mweru, where they hybridized with Congolese lineages and then underwent multiple adaptive radiations that are strikingly complementary in ecology and morphology. Our data suggest that the presence of several related lineages does not necessarily prevent adaptive radiation, although it constrains the trajectories of morphological diversification. It might instead facilitate adaptive radiation when hybridization generates genetic variation, without which radiation may start much later, progress more slowly or never occur. 1 Division of Aquatic Ecology & Evolution, Institute of Ecology and Evolution,UniversityofBern,Baltzerstr.6,CH-3012Bern,Switzerland.2 Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution, Centre of Ecology, Evolution and Biogeochemistry (CEEB), Eawag Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Seestrasse 79, CH-6047 Kastanienbaum, Switzerland.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Freshwater Fishes of the Genus Capoeta (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Iran
    Received: 3 May 2016 | Revised: 8 August 2016 | Accepted: 9 August 2016 DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2411 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Phylogenetic relationships of freshwater fishes of the genus Capoeta (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Iran Hamid Reza Ghanavi | Elena G. Gonzalez | Ignacio Doadrio Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Biodiversity and Evolutionary Abstract Biology Department, CSIC, Madrid, Spain The Middle East contains a great diversity of Capoeta species, but their taxonomy re- Correspondence mains poorly described. We used mitochondrial history to examine diversity of the Hamid Reza Ghanavi, Department of algae- scraping cyprinid Capoeta in Iran, applying the species- delimiting approaches Biology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden. Email: [email protected] General Mixed Yule- Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran.

  • New Data on the Distribution and Conservation Status of the Two Endemic Scrapers in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea Drainages (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
    International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology ISSN: 2639-216X New Data on the Distribution and Conservation Status of the Two Endemic Scrapers in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea Drainages (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) Kaya C1*, Kucuk F2 and Turan D1 Research Article 1 Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Turkey Volume 2 Issue 6 2Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Turkey Received Date: October 31, 2019 Published Date: November 13, 2019 *Corresponding author: Cuneyt Kaya, Faculty of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, DOI: 10.23880/izab-16000185 Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, 53100 Rize, Turkey, Tel: +904642233385; Email: [email protected] Abstract In the scope of this study, exact distribution of the two endemic Capoeta species in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea drainages was presented. Fishes were caught with pulsed DC electro-fishing equipment from 28 sampling sites throughout Turkish Mediterranean Sea drainages between Göksu River and stream Boğa. The findings of the study demonstrate that Capoeta antalyensis inhabits in Köprüçay and Aksu rivers, and streams Boğa and Gündoğdu, all around Antalya. Capoeta caelestis widely distributed in coastal stream and rivers between Stream Dim (Alanya) in the west and Göksu River (Silifke) in the east. Metric and meristic characters were collected from the fish samples which obtained in the field for Capoeta caelestis and Capoeta antalyensis, and museum material for Capoeta damascina. In this way, morphologic features of the species revealed and Capoeta caelestis compared with Capoeta damascina to remove the hesitations about the validity of the species. The conservation status of Capoeta antalyensis was recommended to uplist from Vulnerable to Endangered. Keywords: Freshwater Fish Species; Anatolia; Pisces; Capoeta antalyensis; C.
