  • Systematics and Historical Biogeography of Greater Antillean Cichlidae
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 39 (2006) 619–627 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Systematics and historical biogeography of Greater Antillean Cichlidae Prosanta Chakrabarty ¤ University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Fish Division, 1109 Geddes Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1079, USA Received 15 July 2005; revised 8 January 2006; accepted 11 January 2006 Available online 21 February 2006 Abstract A molecular phylogenetic analysis recovers a pattern consistent with a drift vicariance scenario for the origin of Greater Antillean cichlids. This phylogeny, based on mitochondrial and nuclear genes, reveals that clades on diVerent geographic regions diverged concur- rently with the geological separation of these areas. Middle America was initially colonized by South American cichlids in the Cretaceous, most probably through the Cretaceous Island Arc. The separation of Greater Antillean cichlids and their mainland Middle American rel- atives was caused by a drift vicariance event that took place when the islands became separated from Yucatan in the Eocene. Greater Antillean cichlids are monophyletic and do not have close South American relatives. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis that these cich- lids migrated via an Oligocene landbridge from South America is falsiWed. A marine dispersal hypothesis is not employed because the drift vicariance hypothesis is better able to explain the biogeographic patterns, both temporal and phylogenetic. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

  • Body Size Evolution and Diversity of Fishes Using the Neotropical Cichlids (Cichlinae) As a Model System
    Body Size Evolution and Diversity of Fishes using the Neotropical Cichlids (Cichlinae) as a Model System by Sarah Elizabeth Steele A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah Elizabeth Steele 2018 Body Size Evolution and Diversity of Fishes using the Neotropical Cichlids (Cichlinae) as a Model System Sarah Elizabeth Steele Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The influence of body size on an organism’s physiology, morphology, ecology, and life history has been considered one of the most fundamental relationships in ecology and evolution. The ray-finned fishes are a highly diverse group of vertebrates. Yet, our understanding of diversification in this group is incomplete, and the role of body size in creating this diversity is largely unknown. I examined body size in Neotropical cichlids (Cichlinae) to elucidate the large- and small-scale factors affecting body size diversity and distribution, and how body size shapes species, morphological, and ecological diversity in fishes. Characterization of body size distributions across the phylogeny of Neotropical cichlids revealed considerable overlap in body size, particularly in intermediate-sized fishes, with few, species-poor lineages exhibiting extreme body size. Three potential peaks of adaptive evolution in body size were identified within Cichlinae. I found freshwater fishes globally tend to be smaller and their distributions more diverse and right-skewed than marine counterparts, irrespective of taxonomy and clade age, with a strengthening of these trends in riverine systems. Comparisons of Neotropical cichlid body size diversity and distribution to this broader context shows that body size patterns are largely abnormal compared to most freshwater fishes, particularly those of the Neotropics.

  • Not So Fast a New Take on the Great American Biotic Interchange
    EIGHTEEN Not So Fast A New Take on the Great American Biotic Interchange PROSANTA CHAKRABARTY and JAMES S. ALBERT The completion of the Middle American land bridge resulted in some limited interchange of freshwater fishes. Again, the predominant direction of dispersal was from south to north. LOMOLINO ET AL. 2006, 379 14 The prevailing biological view of the closure of the Isthmus into two historical assemblages: members of an “Old South- of Panama is of a dominant South American fauna rapidly ern Element” (a Paleoichthyofauna) of Cretaceous or Paleo- expanding northward via the newly formed land bridge cene origins (including Hyphessobrycon, Gymnotus, Rhamdia, between the continents (Stehli and Webb 1985; Bermingham ‘Cichlasoma,’ Phallichthys, Alfaro, Rivulus) and a Neoichthyo- 15 and Martin 1998; Lomolino et al. 2006).

Under this view, to be the result of explosive radiations that were facilitated the current diversity of Central American fishes is the result by the invasion of South American fishes into new and unoc- of multiple temporally distinct waves of South American inva- cupied habitats on and across the isthmus.

  • Zootaxa, Helminth Parasites of Freshwater Fish from Central America
    Zootaxa 1915: 29–53 (2008) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2008 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Helminth parasites of freshwater fish from Central America GUILLERMO SALGADO-MALDONADO Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Biología, Laboratorio de Helmintología, Apartado Postal 70-153 CP 04510, México D. F. Mexico. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study is a compilation of current knowledge of the taxonomic composition and distribution of the helminth parasites of freshwater fish in Central America. A list of 111 adult helminth species up to day reported from 17 freshwater fish families from Central America was compiled. The data show a helminth parasite fauna in freshwater fish that is typical to the region. One hundred and two of the known helminth species are endemic to the area, 32 of which can be derived from South American genera. Nematodes were the most abundant group, followed by monogeneans and trematodes. None of the 29 helminth families recorded to date is exclusive to Central America, while 16 of the 65 recorded genera have been only recorded from this area. Twenty three of these genera are South American lineages. The data suggest that helminth parasites of freshwater fish from Central America constitute a recent fauna derived mainly from South America but not found there. Key words: parasites; helminths; checklist; freshwater fishes; Central America; zoogeography; Platyhelminthes; Trema- toda; Monogenea; Cestoda; Nematoda; Acanthocephala; Cichlidae; Poeciliidae; Characidae; Heptapteridae; cichlids; poeciliids endemism. Introduction Freshwater fish in Central America constitute a faunal assemblage distinct from those of North and South America, and the species within it are parasitized by their own helminth fauna.

The University of Southern Mississippi PATTERNS OF DIVERSITY, ZOOGEOGRAPHY, AND ECOLOGICAL GRADIENTS IN HONDURAN FRESHWATER FISHES by Wilfredo Antonio Matamoros Abstract of a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2010 ABSTRACT PATTERNS OF DIVERSITY, ZOOGEOGRAPHY, AND ECOLOGICAL GRADIENTS IN HONDURAN FRESHWATER FISHES by Wilfredo Antonio Matamoros August 2010 Nineteen major river drainages across Honduras were sampled from 2005-2009 in order to understand Honduran geographical patterns of freshwater fish distribution, to delineate the Honduran freshwater fishes ichthyographical provinces, and to understand patterns of species assemblage at the drainage level. A total of 166 species of freshwater fishes were sampled, a 64% increase over previously published reports. Eight species belong to primary freshwater families, 47 to secondary, and 111 to peripherals. In order to understand the species-drainages relationships, a presence-absence matrix was built for the 19 major drainages and 55 primary and secondary freshwater fishes.
