The three data sets were analyzed separately and combined into a single data set to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among Chinese sisorids. Both Chinese Sisoridae as a whole and the glyptosternoid taxa formed monophyletic groups. The genus Pseudecheneis is likely to be the earliest diverging extant ge- nus among the Chinese Sisoridae. The four Pareuchiloglanis species included in the study formed a monophyletic group. Glaridoglanis was indicated to be earliest diverging glyptosternoid, followed by Glyptosternon maculatum and Exostoma labi- atum. Our data supported the conclusion that Oreoglanis and Pseudexostoma both formed a monophyletic group. On the basis of the fossil record and the results of a molecular dating analysis, we estimated that the Sisoridae diverged in the late Miocene about 12.2 Mya. The glyptosternoid clade was indicated to have diverged, also in the late Miocene, about 10.7 Mya, and the more specialized glyptosternoid genera, such as Pareuchiloglanis, originated in the Pleistocene (within 1.9 Mya). The specia- tion of glyptosternoid fishes is hypothesized to be closely related with the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

  • Diversity of Fishes Across Hydrological Basins and Elevational Gradients in Eastern Bhutan: a Preliminary Analysis

The original work must be properly cited to permit unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of this article in any medium. ABSTRACT: Bhutan’s water resources span a tremendous elevational gradient and are home to a diverse ichthyofauna. However, much of the aquatic biodiversity remains understudied and little is known about the ecology of native species. In an effort to strengthen Bhutan’s existing fishery database, the National Research and Development Centre for Riverine and Lake Fisheries, Haa, conducted an ichthyofauna assessment from 2017 to 2019 at 496 sampling stations spread across three hydrological basins namely Aiechhu, Manas and Nyera-Amachhu in eastern Bhutan. A total of 108 fish species, representing 47 genera, 19 families and seven orders were recorded during the study. The highest number of species and endemic fish were found concentrated along the Aiechhu hydrological basin, particularly the Aiechhu proper (Maochhu) and below <500 meters elevation. Based on these findings, the Aiechhu proper appears to be best choice for retaining a free-flowing river in Bhutan and plans for future hydropower developments in elevation <500 meters above sea level should be reconsidered. Keywords: Aiechhu; Eastern Bhutan; elevation; fish diversity; hydrological basin.

Received: 25 January 2019; Accepted: 18 February 2019; Published: 21 February 2019 Abstract: Body size is one of the most important attributes of a species, but the basic question of why and how each species reaches a different “right size” is still largely unknown. Herein, three phylogenetically closely related catfishes from Sisoridae, including one extraordinarily large-sized Bagarius yarrelli and two average-sized Glyptothorax macromaculatus and Oreoglanis setiger, were comparatively studied using RNA-Seq. Approximately 17,000 protein-coding genes were annotated for each of the three fishes, and 9509 genes were identified as high-confidence orthologous gene pairs. Comparative expressions uncovered a similar functional cluster about ribosome biogenesis was enriched in different tissues of the upregulated genes of Bagarius yarrelli.

    DISTRIBUTION AND CONSERVATION THREATS OF BHUTAN TAKIN IN WANGCHUCK CENTENNIAL NATIONAL PARK BUMTHANG Wangchuck Centennial National Park Department of Forests and Park Services 2016 Distribution and conservation threats of Bhutan Takin in Wangchuck Centennial National Park Bumthang Report by Wangchuck Centennial National Park 2016 iii Foreword Wangchuck Centennial National Park covering an area of 4914 km2 in the north-central region of the country extends from cool broadleaf forest to alpine meadows, spanning an altitude range over 2500m to above 500m. The park is home to rich floral and faunal diversity comprising over 693 species of vascular plants, 43 mammals, 250 bird species and more than 156 species of butterflies. Among the mammal species, we have some iconic species which require adequate studies and research for conservation and protection. The presence of Bhutan Takin (Budorcas whitei) was recorded in the park, the detail field study and research to get detail information had been long overdue. Therefore, this first field report with one time data collection is limited in scope to WCNP; however, it will be the baseline information on distribution and conservation threats. This report is published with intention to share information not only to conservationists, but also to general to get overview of Takin conservation in WCNP and the country at large. I believe in strong coordination and partnership between general public, particularly people residing inside protected areas and the protected area management in getting better results from conservation programs. With outmost sincerity and pleasure I am looking forward that this report will provide some information and guidance for further, planning and implementation of conservation program related to Takin.
