A New Species of the Genus Xiphophorus H ECKEL 1848
311 Senckenbergiana biol. (1987) I 68 (4/6) I 311-321 Frankfurt am Main, 27. 06. 1988 A new species of the genus Xiphopho rus H ECKEL 1848, endemic to northern Coahuila, Mexico (Pisces: Poeciliidae). By MANFRED ScHARTL, & JoHANNES HoRsT ScHRÖDER, Maninsried, Neuherberg. With 7 figures and 3 tables. Abstract: Xiphophorus meyeri n. sp. is described as an endemiete Muzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico. It appears tobe the northernmost species of the genus. The new species is related to X. couchianus and X. gordoni, but differs morphologically from those by dorsal fin ray number, by the expression of some gonopodial features and most markedly by the appearance of macromelanophores or tr-melanophores. Introduction. Xiphophorus HECKEL 1848 is one of the most studied groups of fish, ranging from molecular biology and genetics to morphology and ethology. Phylogenetically, xiphophorin fish may be regarded to date as being still in a very active stage of speciation (ANDERS & ScHARTL 1984; MoRIZOT & SICILIANO 1982). Taxonomy has placed the different forms of Xiphophorus into 17 species [ROSEN 1979, MEYER & ScHARTL 1979), six of which are endemics. However, the ranking of some taxa as species (e. g. X. couchianus (GIRARD 1859) and gordoni MrLLER & MINCKLEY 1903; X. variatus (MEEK 1904) and evelynae RosEN 1960] gives the false impression of a higher degree of genetic distance, which is not con firmed by tbe wide range of reproductive compatibility between different taxa (at least under Iabaratory conditions), by the occurrence of natural hybrids (MEYER 1983), and by evaluating genetic distances on the protein Ievel (MoruzOT & SICILIANO, 1982) and the DNA-level (ScHARTL unpubl.). -

For two years we sampled invertebrates after two large wildfires in eastern Spain and demonstrate that two flower beetle species, Protaetia morio and P. oblonga (Cetoniidae), show a pyrophi- lous behaviour. These beetles were much more numerous after the fires than in unburnt plots OPEN ACCESS around the fire perimeter; in addition, these species tended to increase in number with the Citation: Pausas JG, Belliure J, MõÂnguez E, distance from the fire perimeter and with fire recurrence, especially P. morio.

To analyse in detail the pollination food web of the phrygana, the vegetation and the pollinator fauna of a phryganic ecosystem near Athens has been continuously monitored during a period of fifty months, April, 1983 - May, 1987 (Petanidou, 1991). The study site, at Dafni, approx. 10 km W of the centre of Athens, was a 30 ha part of the Diomedes Botanical Garden of the University of Athens; see Petanidou & Ellis (submitted) for more details. The number of pollinator species amounted to 666, which is the highest pollinator alpha diversity recorded so far for any ecosystem. A large proportion of the fauna (262 species) consisted of bees. This underlines the uniqueness and high conservation value of the phrygana as such. Two species, viz. the Symphyta Macrophya teutona and Tenthredo zona are new to the fauna of Greece (P. -

Phylogenetic and Morphological Analysis of a New Cliff-Dwelling
Plant Systematics and Evolution (2018) 304:1023–1040 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00606-018-1523-2 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Phylogenetic and morphological analysis of a new clif‑dwelling species reveals a remnant ancestral diversity and evolutionary parallelism in Sonchus (Asteraceae) José A. Mejías1 · Mathieu Chambouleyron2 · Seon‑Hee Kim3 · M. Dolores Infante4 · Seung‑Chul Kim3 · Jean‑François Léger2,5 Received: 23 December 2017 / Accepted: 18 May 2018 / Published online: 19 July 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract We describe a new clif-dwelling species within Sonchus (Asteraceae): Sonchus boulosii and analyze its systematic position and evolutionary signifcance; in addition, we provide a key to the species of Sonchus in Morocco. Both morphological and ecological characteristics suggest a close relationship of S. boulosii with taxa of section Pustulati. However, ITS nrDNA and cpDNA matK markers indicate its uncertain position within the genus, but clear genetic diferentiation from the remaining major clades. ITS phylogenetic trees show that likely evolutionary shifts to rocky habitat took place at least fve times within genus Sonchus and that sect. Pustulati and S. boulosii clades have a clearly independent evolutionary origin. We postulate that the strong resemblance of S. boulosii to other rocky species refects a phenomenon of homoplasy, probably driven by parallel evolutionary adaptations to the severe ecological constraints of its clif face habitat. Therefore, a new section is also described, which includes S. boulosii as its sole representative: section Pulvinati. According to phylogenetic trees, the new clade may share its common ancestor with the clade comprising sections Maritimi and Arvenses, from which it is widely divergent in morphology and ecology, with the exception of Sonchus novae-zelandiae.
