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. For eomparative purposes a lateral-series, scale count as. defined by MrLLER (14) is included in the descriptions: "The lateral­ series scale count begins with the first scale in the upper lateral line, goes to ...

Collections are listed by country and drainage basins in the following manner: catalog number, general locality witb, the elevation in meters (m), and the number of specimens in parentheses. Abbreviations , are- spelled out when used for the first time. The specimens utilized for the study are deposited at the California Aca­ demy of Sciences (CAS and IU) , Field Museum of Natural History (CNHM), Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM), the :Miuseo de Zo­ ología, Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), and the United States National Museum (USNM), and are listed below.

TAXONOMIC HISTORY: After KNER and STEINDACHNER (8) published the original description of Heros sieboldii from Panamanian specimens, subse­ quent authors have listed the species in several other genera. Other authors have based descriptions of new taxa on Costa Rican specimens of the same species. REGAN described Heriehthys Ul'lderwoodi from a single specimen Üom "Costa Rica", but in the supplement of the same volume he correctIy synony­ mized it with C. sieboldii (1 S ). MEEK (10) described C. punetatum from Bue­ nos Aires, Costa Rica and C. frontale from Turrabales (sic), Costa Rica. Later, MEEK (11) correctly synonymized frontale with underwoodi but unlike Regan, he still considered the latter form distinct from sieboldii; he continued to list C. punetatum as a valid species.

OLDFIELD1,2, ABHINAV KAKUTURU1, WILLIAM I. LUTTERSCHMIDT2, O. TOM LORENZ3, ADAM E. COHEN4, AND DEAN A. HENDRICKSON4 ABSTRACT The Rio Grande Cichlid, Herichthys cyanoguttatus, is native to the drainages of the Gulf Coast of northern Mexico and southern Texas and has been introduced at several sites in the US. Previous observations have suggested that non-native populations in Louisiana that are currently recognized as H. cyanoguttatus resemble another species, the Lowland Cichlid, H. carpintis. Traditional morphological and genetic techniques have been insufficient to differentiate these species, but H. carpintis has been reported to differ fromH. cyanoguttatus in color pattern, so we turned to novel electronic photo archives to determine the identity of the species introduced in Louisiana. First, we used the public databases Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database and Fishes of Texas to infer the historical distributions of these species in the US.

  • 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.

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.
