Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from analysis of 1990 base pairs (bp) of mito- chondrial DNA (mtDNA), represented by the complete nucleotide sequences of the cytochrome b (cyt b) and the ATP synthase 8 and 6 (ATPase 8/6) genes. We sequenced 120 individuals from 53 drainages to provide a comprehensive geographic picture of Central American Rhamdia systematics and phylogeography. Phylogeographic analysis distinguished multiple Rhamdia mtDNA lineages, and the geographic congruence across evolutionarily independent Rhamdia clades indicated that vicariance has played a strong role in the Mesoamerican diversification of this genus. Phylogenetic analyses of species-level relationships provide strong support for the monophyly of a trans-Andean clade of three evolutionarily equivalent Rhamdia taxa: R. guatemalensis, R. laticauda, and R. ciner- ascens. Application of fish-based mitochondrial DNA clocks ticking at 1.3–1.5% sequence divergence per million years (Ma), suggests that the split between cis- and trans-Andean Rhamdia extends back about 8 Ma, and the three distinct trans-Andean Rhamdia clades split about 6 Ma ago.

Only a few vertebrate groups such as the Heroine cichlids, distributed from South America to the Rio Grande in North America, are found both north and south of the Neovolcanic Plateau. To better understand the geography and temporal diversification of cichlids at this geologic boundary, we used mitochondrial DNA sequences of the cy- tochrome b (cyt b) gene to reconstruct the relationships of 52 of the approximately 80 species of Heroine cichlids in Mesoamerica. Our analysis suggests several cichlids in South America should be considered as part of the Mesoamerican Heroine clade because they and the cichlids north of the Isthmus of Panama are clearly supported as monophyletic with respect to all other Neotropical cichlids. We also recovered a group containing species in Paratheraps + Paraneetroplus + Vieja as the sister clade to Herichthys. Herichthys is the only cichlid clade north of the Mexican Plateau and it is monophyletic.

  • Cichlasoma Sieboldii and C. Tuba
    Rev. Biol Trop., 23 (2) : 189-211, 1975 Taxonomy and biological aspects 01 the Central Amer'ican cichlid fishes Cichlasoma sieboldii and C. tuba by William A. Bussing'lí< (Received for publication May 22, 1975) ABSTRACTo' The complex taxonomic history of Cichlasoma sieboldii is re· viewed. Cichlasoma punctatum and its synonym Theraps terrabae are induded for the first time in the synoymy of C. sieboldii. A report of C. guttulatum from Pa­ namá is attributable to a misidentification of C. tuba, which had not been pre­ viously reported from that countIy. The morphologic and meristic variation, coloration, ecology and geographic distribution of C. sieboldii and C. tuba are discussed.. M:orphologic and distri­ butional evidence suggest that these twÜ' species are Pacific and Atlantic slope de­ rivatives of a common Pliocene' ancestor. There is a marked resemblance between the ciehlid fauna of the Atlan­ tic slope of lower Central Ameriea and the southeastern region of Costa Rica. The historieal reasons fo! this similarity have been discussed (4). The present study reviews the taxonomic history and discusses the biology of a Pacifie slope species, Ci¡h/asoma sieboldii, and its Atlantic versant counterpart, Cieh/asoma. tu­ ba (Fig. 1). MATERIAL AND METHODS Body measureinents are expressed in standard length (SL) in millime­ ters (mm). Body propartions of C. sieboldir as parts per mil appear in Table 1. The last two dorsal and anal rays are counted as ane only when their bases are in contact; when the base of the last ray is not touching the penultimate ray, each ray is counted separately.

Foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, William L. Fink, for all his hard work teaching me to be a proper scientist. I walked into his office in September 2001 an ambitious student, but also naïve and hasty. In my first year particularly I sometimes bit off more than I could chew, which could have led to a few major setbacks. Instead, Bill was there to save me at times when I was lost; many times he has pointed me in the right direction when I was struggling. I hope I can always be as determined, rigorous and hardworking as he has taught me to be. My other committee members, Jerry Smith, Diarmaid Ó Foighil, and Dan Fisher have been excellent. Jerry and his wife Catherine are not only advisors but friends. It is wonderful to talk to them about everything from fossils to vegetarianism. Diarmaid has always given me straight forward advice about publishing and academia that has always been very useful. My early success as a graduate student has a lot to do with the mentoring I received from then senior graduate students John Sparks, Dan Graf, and Jennifer Ast.

(August 2018). 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From Nico et al. (2018): “Tropical America. Atlantic Slope drainages of Middle America from Río Papaloapan, Mexico, south to Sulphur River, Guatemala (Conkel 1993; Greenfield and Thomerson 1997).” 1 From Froese and Pauly (2018): “Central America: Atlantic slope, from southern Mexico to Guatemala and Belize.” Status in the United States From Nico et al. (2018): “A population was established in a rock pit or borrow pit adjacent to the abandoned tourist attraction "Pirate's World" in Dania, southern Broward County, Florida, ca. 1980; that population was eradicated by state personnel in 1981 (Courtenay et al. 1984; Courtenay and Stauffer 1990). The site later was converted into a parking lot and no longer exists. A second established population was documented in the South New River Canal (C-11 Canal), Broward County, during collecting efforts in 1990 and again in 1993 (Smith-Vaniz, personal communication). Additional specimens were collected from the same canal in 1992, 1993, and 1994 (Shafland 1996). Currently, this species occurs in canals and ditches in much of southern Broward County, and has spread westward into the Everglades system (Shafland et al. 2008; W. Loftus, pers. comm.)” This species is in trade in the United States.
