  • Selection, Constraint, and Adaptation in the Visual Genes of Neotropical Cichlid Fishes and Other Vertebrates
    SELECTION, CONSTRAINT, AND ADAPTATION IN THE VISUAL GENES OF NEOTROPICAL CICHLID FISHES AND OTHER VERTEBRATES by Frances Elisabeth Hauser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto © Copyright by Frances E. Hauser 2018 SELECTION, CONSTRAINT, AND ADAPTATION IN THE VISUAL GENES OF NEOTROPICAL CICHLID FISHES AND OTHER VERTEBRATES Frances E. Hauser Doctor of Philosophy, 2018 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto 2018 ABSTRACT The visual system serves as a direct interface between an organism and its environment. Studies of the molecular components of the visual transduction cascade, in particular visual pigments, offer an important window into the relationship between genetic variation and organismal fitness. In this thesis, I use molecular evolutionary models as well as protein modeling and experimental characterization to assess the role of variable evolutionary rates on visual protein function. In Chapter 2, I review recent work on the ecological and evolutionary forces giving rise to the impressive variety of adaptations found in visual pigments. In Chapter 3, I use interspecific vertebrate and mammalian datasets of two visual genes (RH1 or rhodopsin, and RPE65, a retinoid isomerase) to assess different methods for estimating evolutionary rate across proteins and the reliability of inferring evolutionary conservation at individual amino acid sites, with a particular emphasis on sites implicated in impaired protein function. ii In Chapters 4, and 5, I narrow my focus to devote particular attention to visual pigments in Neotropical cichlids, a highly diverse clade of fishes distributed across South and Central America.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Two new species of Australoheros Říčan and Kullander are described. Australoheros ykeregua sp. nov. is described from the tributaries of the río Uruguay in Misiones province, Argentina. Australoheros angiru sp. nov. is described from the tributaries of the upper rio Uruguai and middle rio Iguaçu in Brazil. The two new species are not closely related, A. yke- regua is the sister species of A. forquilha Říčan and Kullander, while A. angiru is the sister species of A. minuano Říčan and Kullander. The diversity of the genus Australoheros is reviewed using morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. These analyses suggest that the described species diversity of the genus in the coastal drainages of SE Brazil is overestimated and that many described species are best undestood as representing cases of intraspecific variation. The dis- tribution patterns of Australoheros species in the Uruguay and Iguazú river drainages point to historical connections be- tween today isolated river drainages (the lower río Iguazú with the arroyo Urugua–í, and the middle rio Iguaçu with the upper rio Uruguai).

  • A New Colorful Species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), Endemic to the Rio Aripuanã in the Amazon Basin of Brazil
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(4): 737-746, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20140038 A new colorful species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), endemic to the rio Aripuanã in the Amazon basin of Brazil Gabriel C. Deprá1, Sven O. Kullander2, Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 and Weferson J. da Graça4 Geophagus mirabilis, new species, is endemic to the rio Aripuanã drainage upstream from Dardanelos/Andorinhas falls. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus by the presence of one to five large black spots arranged longitudinally along the middle of the flank, in addition to the black midlateral spot that is characteristic of species in the genus and by a pattern of iridescent spots and lines on the head in living specimens. It is further distinguished from all congeneric species, except G. camopiensis and G. crocatus, by the presence of seven (vs. eight or more) scale rows in the circumpeduncular series below the lateral line (7 in G. crocatus; 7-9 in G. camopiensis). Including the new species, five cichlids and 11 fish species in total are known only from the upper rio Aripuanã, and 15 fish species in total are known only from the rio Aripuanã drainage. Geophagus mirabilis, espécie nova, é endêmica da drenagem do rio Aripuanã, a montante das quedas de Dardanelos/ Andorinhas. A espécie nova se distingue de todas as outras espécies do gênero pela presença de uma a cinco manchas pretas grandes distribuídas longitudinalmente ao longo do meio do flanco, em adição à mancha preta no meio do flanco característica das espécies do gênero, e por um padrão de pontos e linhas iridescentes sobre a cabeça em espécimes vivos.

Darrin Hulsey,a,* Francisco J. Garcıa de Leon, b Yara Sanchez Johnson,b Dean A. Hendrickson,c and Thomas J. Neara,1 a Center for Population Biology, Department of Evolution and Ecology, University of California-Davis, Davis, CA 95616, USA b Laboratorio de Biologıa Integrativa, Instituto Tecnologico de Cuidad Victoria (ITCV), Mexico c Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas-Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA Received 18 June 2003; revised 26 August 2003 Abstract The Mexican Neovolcanic Plateau sharply divides the vertebrate fauna of Mesoamerica where the climate of both the neotropics and temperate North America gradually blend. 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.

  • DNA Barcoding Discriminates Freshwater Fishes from Southeastern Nigeria and Provides River System-Level Phylogeographic Resoluti
    Mitochondrial DNA, 2011; Early Online: 1–9 DNA barcoding discriminates freshwater fishes from southeastern Nigeria and provides river system-level phylogeographic resolution within some species CHRISTOPHER D. NWANIa, SVEN BECKERb, HEATHER E. BRAIDb, EMMANUEL F. UDEc, OKECHUKWU I. OKOGWUa, & ROBERT HANNERb aDepartment of Applied Biology, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria, bDepartment of Integrative Biology, Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and cFisheries and Aquaculture, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria (Received 17 August 2010; revised 28 October 2010; accepted 28 October 2010) Abstract Background and aims: Fishes are the main animal protein source for human beings and play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems and food webs. Fish identification can be challenging, especially in the tropics (due to high diversity), and this is particularly true for larval forms or fragmentary remains. DNA barcoding, which uses the 50 region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) as a target gene, is an efficient method for standardized species-level identification for biodiversity assessment and conservation, pending the establishment of reference sequence libraries. Materials and methods: In this study, fishes were collected from three rivers in southeastern Nigeria, identified morphologically, and imaged digitally. DNA was extracted, PCR-amplified, and the standard barcode region was bidirectionally sequenced for 363 individuals belonging to 70 species in 38 genera.

Analytical tools on BOLD were used to assess the performance of barcoding to identify species. Results: Using neighbor-joining distance comparison, the average genetic distance was 60-fold higher between species than within species, as pairwise genetic distance estimates averaged 10.29% among congeners and only 0.17% among conspecifics.

  • They're Not Just Convicts Anymore
    2008 FAAS Publication Awards. Please follow reprint instructions at http://www.faas.info/2008_publication_awards_winners.html#reprintpolicy They’re Not Just Convicts Anymore By Daniel Spielman All Photos by Daniel Spielman Introduction Convicts get no respect, with many a cichlidophile turning up his or her nose at the sight of a group on Convicts in a tank or a bag of fry in an auction. It’s time for that to change. Easy to breed and exhibiting wonderful parental care, Convict cichlids (Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus) have long been staples in the hobby. Indeed, for many new fishkeepers, the satisfaction of watching a pair of Convict parents herd a group of fry around a tank sparks the initial desire to keep other mem­ bers of the cichlid family. Indeed, my fish cichlids were Convicts, and watch­ ing them care for their fry definitely got me hooked. The contrast with trying to keep guppies or swordtails from eating their own offspring is striking (how did eating one’s own young ever evolve in the first place?). However, the very fact that Convicts spawn so readily in the aquarium causes many hobbyists to quickly lose interest in the species. Although Convicts occasionally appear on experienced hobbyists’ lists of most favorite cichlid, the problem is they are just too common and too easy to breed. Typical Convict spawning jokes involve two fish and a wet paper towel, and one often feels fortunate to break the $1 barrier at the auction to avoid the indignity of having to bring one’s fish back home again at the end of the monthly club meeting.
