Wainwrightb a Departamento de Biología, Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia b Department of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, United States c Instituto de Estudios en Ciencias del Mar, CECIMAR, Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Caribe, El Rodadero, Santa Marta, Colombia ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: We present a phylogenetic analysis with divergence time estimates, and an ecomorphological assessment of the Percomorpharia role of the benthic-to-pelagic axis of diversification in the history of haemulid fishes. Phylogenetic analyses were Fish performed on 97 grunt species based on sequence data collected from seven loci. Divergence time estimation Functional traits indicates that Haemulidae originated during the mid Eocene (54.7–42.3 Ma) but that the major lineages were Morphospace formed during the mid-Oligocene 30–25 Ma. We propose a new classification that reflects the phylogenetic Macroevolution history of grunts. Overall the pattern of morphological and functional diversification in grunts appears to be Zooplanktivore strongly linked with feeding ecology. Feeding traits and the first principal component of body shape strongly separate species that feed in benthic and pelagic habitats. The benthic-to-pelagic axis has been the major axis of ecomorphological diversification in this important group of tropical shoreline fishes, with about 13 transitions between feeding habitats that have had major consequences for head and body morphology.

  • The Earliest Diverging Extant Scleractinian Corals Recovered by Mitochondrial Genomes Isabela G
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The earliest diverging extant scleractinian corals recovered by mitochondrial genomes Isabela G. L. Seiblitz1,2*, Kátia C. C. Capel2, Jarosław Stolarski3, Zheng Bin Randolph Quek4, Danwei Huang4,5 & Marcelo V. Kitahara1,2 Evolutionary reconstructions of scleractinian corals have a discrepant proportion of zooxanthellate reef-building species in relation to their azooxanthellate deep-sea counterparts. In particular, the earliest diverging “Basal” lineage remains poorly studied compared to “Robust” and “Complex” corals. The lack of data from corals other than reef-building species impairs a broader understanding of scleractinian evolution. Here, based on complete mitogenomes, the early onset of azooxanthellate corals is explored focusing on one of the most morphologically distinct families, Micrabaciidae. Sequenced on both Illumina and Sanger platforms, mitogenomes of four micrabaciids range from 19,048 to 19,542 bp and have gene content and order similar to the majority of scleractinians. Phylogenies containing all mitochondrial genes confrm the monophyly of Micrabaciidae as a sister group to the rest of Scleractinia. This topology not only corroborates the hypothesis of a solitary and azooxanthellate ancestor for the order, but also agrees with the unique skeletal microstructure previously found in the family. Moreover, the early-diverging position of micrabaciids followed by gardineriids reinforces the previously observed macromorphological similarities between micrabaciids and Corallimorpharia as

Fish larvae and particularly eggs are 30 difficult to identify morphologically, therefore the DNA barcoding method was employed to 31 identify 4,388 specimens, resulting in 157 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) corresponding 32 to species. Scarus sp., Halichoeres dispilus, Xyrichtys mundiceps, Euthynnus lineatus, 33 Ammodytoides gilli, Synodus lacertinus, Etrumeus acuminatus, Chanos chanos, Haemulon 34 flaviguttatum, and Vinciguerria lucetia were the most abundant and frequent species recorded.

  • Modos De Reclutamiento Coralino Y Efectos De La Depredación Por Arothron Meleagris En Corales Pocilopóridos De Isla Gorgona
    Modos de reclutamiento coralino y efectos de la depredación por Arothron meleagris en corales pocilopóridos de Isla Gorgona Carlos G. Muñoz Modos de reclutamiento coralino y efectos de la depredación por Arothron meleagris en corales pocilopóridos de Isla Gorgona Tesis doctoral presentada por: Carlos G. Muñoz, bajo la dirección de: Fernando A. Zapata. Doctorado en Ciencias del Mar Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Exactas Universidad del Valle Cali, Colombia 2017 II RESUMEN Los arrecifes coralinos son ecosistemas vulnerables que se han venido deteriorando a escala mundial al desarrollarse en condiciones ambientales restringidas, pero también son sistemas altamente dinámicos al exhibir ciclos naturales de perturbación-recuperación que apenas estamos comenzando a entender. El reclutamiento, o la entrada de nuevos individuos a las poblaciones, determina en gran medida el proceso de recuperación natural después de perturbaciones, y puede darse tanto por asentamiento de larvas derivadas de reproducción sexual, como por fragmentación física de colonias y supervivencia de esos fragmentos. En el Pacífico Tropical Oriental los escasos estudios sobre reclutamiento coralino de origen sexual han sido poco exitosos, y a pesar de la potencial importancia de la reproducción asexual por fragmentación, aspectos básicos sobre la ecología de este proceso aún se desconocen. Esta investigación por medio de un amplio trabajo de campo, aportó información novedosa sobre la ecología reproductiva de los corales del Pacífico colombiano. Se proporcionó por primera vez evidencia sobre la presencia de reclutas coralinos de origen sexual en diversos sitios de Isla Gorgona, y mediante monitoreos y experimentos in situ estudiamos algunas causas física y bióticas de la fragmentación de coral en el arrecife de La Azufrada.
