  • Resolving Cypriniformes Relationships Using an Anchored Enrichment Approach Carla C
    Stout et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:244 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0819-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Resolving Cypriniformes relationships using an anchored enrichment approach Carla C. Stout1*†, Milton Tan1†, Alan R. Lemmon2, Emily Moriarty Lemmon3 and Jonathan W. Armbruster1 Abstract Background: Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world (~4300 described species). Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. In this study we present the first phylogenomic analysis using anchored hybrid enrichment for 172 taxa to represent the order (plus three out-group taxa), which is the largest dataset for the order to date (219 loci, 315,288 bp, average locus length of 1011 bp). Results: Concatenation analysis establishes a robust tree with 97 % of nodes at 100 % bootstrap support. Species tree analysis was highly congruent with the concatenation analysis with only two major differences: monophyly of Cobitoidei and placement of Danionidae. Conclusions: Most major clades obtained in prior molecular studies were validated as monophyletic, and we provide robust resolution for the relationships among these clades for the first time. These relationships can be used as a framework for addressing a variety of evolutionary questions (e.g. phylogeography, polyploidization, diversification, trait evolution, comparative genomics) for which Cypriniformes is ideally suited.

  • Evidence of an Ancient Connectivity and Biogeodispersal of a Bitterling
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evidence of an ancient connectivity and biogeodispersal of a bitterling species, Rhodeus notatus, across the Korean Peninsula Hari Won1, Hyung-Bae Jeon 1,2 & Ho Young Suk1* The modern-day distribution of freshwater fshes throughout multiple rivers is likely the result of past migration during times when currently separate drainages were once connected. Here, we used mitochondrial and microsatellite analyses for 248 individuals of Rhodeus notatus collected from seven diferent rivers to obtain better understand historical gene fow of freshwater fsh on the Korean Peninsula. Based on our phylogenetic analyses, this Korean species originated through the paleo-Yellow River from China and frst colonized near the west coast. These genetic data also provided evidence of estuary coalescences among the rivers fowing to the west and southwest coast on well-developed continental shelf. In addition, the pattern of population structure revealed the biogeodispersal route from the west coast to the south coast. It could be inferred that massive migration was not involved in the formation of southern populations, since the signature of historical genetic drift was clearly observed. Our study is the frst genetic attempt to confrm hypotheses describing the migration of freshwater species towards the end of East Asia, which have previously been developed using only geological reasoning. Primary freshwater fsh species living in separate river systems are not able to come into contact naturally. Even within a single river system, populations can be isolated by landscape structures1–3. Te high degree of interpop- ulation genetic diferentiation normally found in freshwater fsh species has ofen been attributed to the frag- mented nature of freshwater environments4–7.

  • Life History Traits of the Chinese Minnow Rhynchocypris
    Liang et al. Zoological Studies 2014, 53:36 http://www.zoologicalstudies.com/content/53/1/36 RESEARCH Open Access Life history traits of the Chinese minnow Rhynchocypris oxycephalus in the upper branch of Yangtze River, China Yangyang Liang1,2, Xiaoyun Sui1,3*, Yifeng Chen1, Yintao Jia1 and Dekui He1 Abstract Background: Study of the life history traits of any species plays an essential role for understanding their relationship with the surrounding environment and scientific management. The Chinese minnow Rhynchocypris oxycephalus,an ecologically and economically important species which was widely distributed in East Asia, is currently diminishing. In the present study, we depicted the main life history traits of R. oxycephalus for the first time. Results: A total of 442 individuals were collected from April 2012 to March 2013, with total length (TL) ranging from 32.2 to 158.0 mm. The otolith (lapillus) was proved suitable for age determination. Moreover, the results from marginal increment ratio (MIR) analyses demonstrated its unusual growth pattern: two pairs of opaque and transparent bands were formed each year, which might provide some implications for the age determination of other species. The maximum age for females (4 years) was higher than for males (3 years), while 1- and 2-year-old individuals dominated the population. Both females and males reached maturity at 1 year, and the TL at first maturity was 78.8 mm for females and 60.3 mm for males. Obvious sexual dimorphism was observed as females growing faster and larger than males after maturity. As a multiple spawner, R. oxycephalus releases batches of eggs from April to August.

  • Minnows and Molecules: Resolving the Broad and Fine-Scale Evolutionary Patterns of Cypriniformes
    Minnows and molecules: resolving the broad and fine-scale evolutionary patterns of Cypriniformes by Carla Cristina Stout A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2017 Keywords: fish, phylogenomics, population genetics, Leuciscidae, sequence capture Approved by Jonathan W. Armbruster, Chair, Professor of Biological Sciences and Curator of Fishes Jason E. Bond, Professor and Department Chair of Biological Sciences Scott R. Santos, Professor of Biological Sciences Eric Peatman, Associate Professor of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences Abstract Cypriniformes (minnows, carps, loaches, and suckers) is the largest group of freshwater fishes in the world. Despite much attention, previous attempts to elucidate relationships using molecular and morphological characters have been incongruent. The goal of this dissertation is to provide robust support for relationships at various taxonomic levels within Cypriniformes. For the entire order, an anchored hybrid enrichment approach was used to resolve relationships. This resulted in a phylogeny that is largely congruent with previous multilocus phylogenies, but has much stronger support. For members of Leuciscidae, the relationships established using anchored hybrid enrichment were used to estimate divergence times in an attempt to make inferences about their biogeographic history. The predominant lineage of the leuciscids in North America were determined to have entered North America through Beringia ~37 million years ago while the ancestor of the Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas) entered ~20–6 million years ago, likely from Europe. Within Leuciscidae, the shiner clade represents genera with much historical taxonomic turbidity. Targeted sequence capture was used to establish relationships in order to inform taxonomic revisions for the clade.

  • Some Examples of the Use of Molecular Markers for Needs of Basic Biology and Modern Society
    animals Review Some Examples of the Use of Molecular Markers for Needs of Basic Biology and Modern Society Yuri Phedorovich Kartavtsev A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 690041 Vladivostok, Russia; [email protected] Simple Summary: The main issues of the report are focused on four items. (1) A combination of nDNA and mtDNA markers best suits the hybrid identification and estimates of genetic introgression between different biological species. (2) The available facts on nDNA and mtDNA diversity seemingly make obvious the introgression presence among many taxa, although, it is evident that introgression may be quite restricted or asymmetric, thus holding at least the “source” taxon (taxa) intact. (3) If we accept that sexually reproducing species in marine and terrestrial realms are introgressed, as it is still evident for many cases, then we should recognize that the biological species concept, in terms of complete lack of gene flow among species, is inadequate due to the fact, that many zoological species are not biological species yet. However, vast modern molecular data proved that with time they definitely become biological species. (4) The recent investigation of fish taxa divergence using central DNA barcoding database shows that most gene trees are, basically, appeared monophyletic and interspecies reticulations are rare. Abstract: Application of molecular genetic markers appeared to be very fruitful in achieving many goals, including (i) proving the theoretic basements of general biology and (ii) assessment of world- Citation: Kartavtsev, Y.P.

  • Regional Differences in Thermal Adaptation of a Cold-Water Fish Rhynchocypris Oxycephalus Revealed by Thermal Tolerance and Tran
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Regional diferences in thermal adaptation of a cold-water fsh Rhynchocypris oxycephalus Received: 31 January 2018 Accepted: 27 June 2018 revealed by thermal tolerance and Published: xx xx xxxx transcriptomic responses Dan Yu, Zhi Zhang, Zhongyuan Shen, Chen Zhang & Huanzhang Liu Understanding how populations adapt to diferent thermal environments is an important issue for biodiversity conservation in the context of recent global warming. To test the hypothesis that populations from southern region are more sensitive to climate change than northern region in cold- water species, we determined the thermal tolerance of two geographical populations of a cold-water fsh, Rhynchocypris oxycephalus: the Hangzhou population from southern region and the Gaizhou population from northern region, then compared their transcriptomic responses between a control and a high temperature treatment. The results showed that the thermal tolerance range and thermal tolerance polygon area of Hangzhou population were narrower than the Gaizhou population, indicating populations from southern region were possibly more vulnerable. Further transcriptomic analysis revealed that the Gaizhou population expressed more temperature responding genes than the Hangzhou population (583 VS. 484), corresponding with their higher thermal tolerance, while some of these genes (e.g. heat shock protein) showed higher expression in the Hangzhou population under control condition, suggesting individuals from southern region possibly have already responded to the present higher environmental temperature pressure. Therefore, these results confrm the prediction that populations from southern region are more sensitive to global warming, and will be important for their future conservation. Termal adaptation is one of the most important factors that infuence the fates of species in response to recent global warming1,2.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e56876. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e56876 Abstract In freshwater ecosystems, invasive salmonid fishes can have a significant impact on native fish species. Detecting the invasion and its negative effects is critical for the conservation of native fish communities. We examined the species composition and seasonal changes in the freshwater fish community, including salmonids, on the Kamikawa Plain, Hokkaido Island, Japan, using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. We detected 23 fish species in 176 samples collected from 16 sites over 12 months (October 2018 – August 2019). Between 11 and 20 species were detected at each site, including five native salmonids (Oncorhynchus masou, Oncorhynchus keta, Parahucho perryi, Salvelinus leucomaenis leucomaenis and Salvelinus malma krascheninnikova). The invasive alien rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was detected at all 16 sites and it was the most commonly detected salmonid. Although we found no obvious competitive exclusion of native salmonids by rainbow trout in the study area, the invasive species occurred more often and at more sites than any of the natives.
