  • Molecular Investigations of the Diversity of Freshwater Fishes Across Three Continents
    Molecular Investigations of the Diversity of Freshwater Fishes across Three Continents by Malorie M. Hayes A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 8, 2020 Keywords: Enteromius, Barbus, sub-Saharan Africa, phylogenetics, systematics, Pteronotropis, conservation genetics, Trichomycterus, Guyana Copyright 2020 by Malorie M. Hayes Approved by Jonathan W. Armbruster, Chair, Professor and Director Auburn University Museum of Natural History Department of Biological Sciences Jason E. Bond, Professor and Schlinger Chair in Insect Systematics University of California, Davis Scott R. Santos, Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University John P. Friel, Director of the Alabama Museum of Natural History Abstract Fishes are the most speciose vertebrates, and incredible diversity can be found within different groups of fish. Due to their physiological limitations, fish are confined to waters, and in freshwater fish, this is restricted to lakes, rivers, and streams. With a constrained habitat like a freshwater system, it can be expected that freshwater fish will show varying levels of diversity depending on a suite of characteristics. Within this dissertation, I examine the diversity of three fish groups: the speciose Enteromius of West Africa, the population genetic diversity of Pteronotropis euryzonus in Alabama and Georgia, and the unexpectedly species rich Trichomycterus from the Guyana highlands. I use molecular methods and geometric morphometrics to determine the systematics of the species and uncover the hidden diversity within their respective groups. When it comes to diversity, the small barbs of Africa are vastly understudied and require a taxonomic revision.

ABSTRACT. In this study thirteen species of subfamily Eumeninae are recorded from the Sistan-o Baluchestan province (South East of Iran). Among the studied material, five species including Cyrtolabulus karachiensis Gusenleitner, 2006; Cyrtolabulus syriacus (Giordani Soika, 1968); Stenancistrocerus biblicus (Giordani Soika, 1952); Stenodynerus trotzinai Received: 02 November, 2019 (Morawitz, 1895) and Tachyancistrocerus quabosi Giordani Soika, 1979 are recorded for the first time from Iran.
