Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3'). The region between 7 300 bp and 12 300 bp was amplified using primers ZM7300F (5'-GCA CAT CCC TCC CAA CTA GGW TTT CAA GAT GC-3') and ZM12300R (5'-TTG CAC CAA GAG TTT TTG GTT CCT AAG ACC-3'). The region between position 12 200 bp and 2 100 bp (spanning the end and beginning of the mitogenome) was ampli- fied using forward primer ZM12200F (5'-CTA AAG ACA GAG GTT AAA ACC CCC TTA TYC ACC-3') and reverse primers ZM2100R (5'-GAC AAG TGA TTG CGC TAC CTT TGC ACG GTC-3') and Muj16SH (TGC ACC AWT AGG ATG TCC TGA TCC AAC ATC). Alternatively, in five species, two longer fragments were amplified instead using the combination of aforementioned primers (ZM7300F + ZM2100R or Muj16SH, and L2508KAW or ZM2500F + ZM7350R). Amplifi- cation of the whole mitogenome with a single primer set was successfully performed in three species using the primers ZM2500F and ZM2100R. We used the LA (long & accurate) polymerase Master Mix (TopBio) and the LA PCR Kit (TaKaRa). The amplification protocol consisted of 30 cycles of denaturation step (95 ◦C / 1 min), annealing step (60 ◦C / 1 min) and the extension step of 68 ◦C (15 min). PCR products were subsequently extracted from electrophoresis gel, purified, and pooled equimolarly. The pooled PCR products were individually barcoded by species during the library preparation (GS Rapid Library Preparation Kit, Roche). Emulsion PCR and sequencing were performed with GS Junior Titanium emPCR Kit, Lib-L (Roche) and GS Junior Titanium PicoTiterPlate (Roche) and GS Junior Titanium Sequencing Buffers Kit (Roche) following the manufacturer's protocol. To complete the circular molecule of the mitogenome, we have addition- ally sequenced the missing region of the 16S gene by conventional Sanger sequencing using mtD-32 and mtD-34 primers (Marescalchi 2005) and 48 ◦C of annealing temperature. The raw reads were filtered on quality and de-novo assembled in the Geneious 7 software (http://www.geneious.com, Kearse et al. 2012) to obtain the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome. Contigs were manually corrected and merged by remapping of the raw reads. In addition to mitochondrial genomes of 26 species, markers 16S, mt-co1, mt-cyb, mt-nd2, mt- nd4, myh6, ptchd4, enc1, and tbr1b were sequenced for up to 50 species (a total of 305 sequences), following Sanger sequencing protocols given in (Matschiner et al. 2011). Of the nine markers, 16S, mt-co1, and mt-nd2 were not included in the study of Matschiner et al. (2011). Marker 16S was PCR-amplified using Amplitaq DNA polymerase (Applied Biosystems), primer pair 16Sar/16Sbr (Palumbi 1996), and the following cycling conditions: 94 ◦C for 2 min, 36 cycles of 94 ◦C for 30 sec, 48 ◦C for 30 sec, and 72 ◦C for 1 min, and finally an elongation time of 7 min at 72 ◦C. New primer pairs were designed for the two markers mt-co1 and mt-nd2: COIFc (5'-TCT CRA CYA ATC ACA 1 Supplementary Text 2 AAG ACA TCG G), COIR (5'-ATR GGG TCT CCY CCT CCK GC-3'), METc (GTT AAA CCC CTT CCT TTA CTA ATG-3'), and TRPc (G5'-AG ATT TTC ACT CCC GCT TAG-3'). Both markers were amplified with the respective primer pair and the Quiagen Multiplex Kit (Quiagen), following the manufacturer's instructions. Annealing temperatures were 58 ◦C for mt-co1 and 52 ◦C for mt-nd2, and 39 PCR cycles were used for both markers. 1 Supplementary Text 3 Supplementary Text S2: Teleost clades used in phylogenetic analyses. Classification follows Wiley & Johnson (2010) and Betancur-R et al. (2013), and diversity informa- tion is taken from Nelson (2006) unless otherwise noted. Clade IDs refer to branch labels in the RAxML phylogeny (Supplementary Figure S5) and to IDs specified in Supplementary Table S2. Dagger symbols are used to indicate extinct taxa. The timescale follows Gradstein & Ogg (2009). With the exception of clades listed in Supplementary Table S9, the sum of all 362 mutually exclusive clades listed here represents the entire extant diversity of the teleost supercohort Clupeocephala, combining the two cohorts Otomorpha and Euteleosteomorpha (Betancur-R et al. 2013). Abbreviations: myr, million years; Ma, million years ago; BS, Bootstrap support; BPP, Bayesian Posterior Probability; JRV, Jackknife resampling value. Clade 1: Otomorpha Taxonomy: One out of two cohorts of Clupeocephala. Following Betancur-R et al. (2013), we here include Alepocephaliformes in Otomorpha. Thus, Otomorpha are composed of three subcohorts, Clupei, Alepocephali, and Ostariophysi. Support: The molecular phylogenies of Betancur-R et al. (2013), Li et al. (2010b), and Lavou´e et al. (2005) strongly support inclusion of Alepocephaliformes in Otomorpha (BS 100). Our RAxML phylogeny supports the monophyly of Otomorpha with BS 100. First occurrence: yTischlingerichthys viohli Arratia, 1997, from the upper Solnhofen Limestone Formation, Bayern, Germany. The Tithonian yTischlingerichthys viohli is considered the oldest representative of Otomorpha (=Ostarioclupeomorpha) by Davis & Fielitz (2010), and the earliest ostariophysean by Benton et al. (2015). Based on ammonite zonation, the upper Solnhofen Lime- stone Formation is dated as early Tithonian, 150.8-149.9 Ma (Benton & Donoghue 2007; Benton et al. 2009). This is older than the earliest alepocephaloid record, the Oligocene yCarpathichthys polonicus Jerzmaska, 1979. Thus, the first occurrence of Otomorpha dates to 150.8-149.9 Ma. See clades 3 (Alepocephali) and 4 (Ostariophysi). Diversity: 9055 extant species. Sampled species: All sampled species of clades 2, 3, and 4. Clade 2: Clupei Taxonomy: One out of three subcohorts of Otomorpha. Clupei include several fossil lineages and the extant order Clupeiformes. Support: Synapomorphies are given in Wiley & Johnson (2010). The monophyly of extant Clupei is further supported by the molecular phylogeny of Betancur-R et al. (2013) (BS 87). Our RAxML phylogeny supports the monophyly of Clupei with BS 100. First occurrence: yEllimmichthys longicaudatus Cope, 1886, from the Marfim Formation, Rec^on- cavo Basin, Bahia, Brazil. Clupeomorph fishes appear in the fossil record in the Early Creta- ceous, with the genera yDiplomystus Cope, 1877, yEllimma Jordan, 1910, yEllimmichthys Jordan, 1919, ySpratticeps Patterson, 1970, yErichalcis Forey, 1975, yEoknightia Taverne, 1976, yHistiurus Costa, 1850, yNolfia Taverne, 1976, yParaclupea Du, 1950, ySantanaclupea Maisey, 1993, and yPseudoellimma De Figueiredo, 2009. Of these, the oldest specimens may be yDiplomystus koku- 1 Supplementary Text 4 raensis Uyeno, 1979 and yDiplomystus primotinus Uyeno, 1979 from the Wakino Formation, Kan- mon group, Kyushu Island, Japan, or yEllimmichthys longicaudatus Cope, 1886 from Bahia, north- eastern Brazil. The two specimens of yDiplomystus have been discovered in the upper layer (fourth layer) of the Wakino subgroup (Uyeno & Yabumoto 1980), which was claimed to be Neocomian (Berriasian-Hauterivian) by the original authors, but is more likely Barremian (Matsumoto et al. 1982) or Hauterivian-Barremian (Kimura et al. 1992). yEllimmichthys longicaudatus has been re- ported from the Marfim Formation, Rec^oncavo Basin, Bahia, Brazil, which is of Late Hauterivian- Early Barremian age (Maisey 2000). Thus, the first occurrence of Clupei dates to 133.9-130.0 Ma. Diversity: 364 extant species. Sampled species: Chirocentrus dorab, Clupea harengus, and Pellona flavipinnis. Clade 3: Alepocephali Taxonomy: One out of three subcohorts of Otomorpha. Alepocephali include the single order Alepocephaliformes with three families, Argentinidae, Opisthoproctidae, and Microstomatidae. Support: Synapomorphies of Alepocephali are given in Johnson and Patterson (1996). The molec- ular phylogenies of Betancur-R et al. (2013), Li et al. (2010b), and Nakatani et al. (2011) strongly support the monophyly of Alepocephali (BS 100). Our RAxML phylogeny supports the monophyly of Alepocephali with BS 100. First occurrence: yCarpathichthys polonicus Jerzmaska, 1979, from the Menilite Beds of the Carpathian flysch, Poland. yCarpathichthys polonicus is considered the earliest record of Alepo- cephaloidei, and of family Alepocephalidae (Jerzmanska 1979; Patterson 1993b), and thus of order Alepocephaliformes and subcohort Alepocephali. yCarpathichthys polonicus occurs in zones IPM 5-6 of the Menilite Beds (Jerzmanska 1979), which range between between 28.0-24.0 Ma (Tyler et al. 1993). Thus, the first occurrence of Alepocephali dates to 28.0-24.0 Ma. Diversity: 131 extant species. Sampled species: Alepocephalus bicolor, Bathylaco nigricans, and Platytroctes apus. Clade 4: Ostariophysi Taxonomy: One out of three subcohorts of Otomorpha. Ostariophysi include two sections, An- otophysa and Otophysa.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

[email protected] ISMAR DE SOUZA CARVALHO Departamento de Geologia, Instituto de Geociências, UFRJ, 21949-900, Cidade Universitária, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. [email protected] ABSTRACT – The Bauru Group is a sequence at least 300 m in thickness, of Cretaceous age (Turonian- Maastrichtian), located in southeastern Brazil (Bauru Basin), and consists of three formations, namely Adamantina, Uberaba and Marília. Throughout the Upper Cretaceous, there was an alternation between severely hot dry and rainy seasons, and a diverse fauna and flora was established in the basin. The ichnofossils studied were found in the Adamantina Formation outcrops and were identified as Arenicolites isp., ?Macanopsis isp., Palaeophycus heberti and Taenidium barretti, which reveal the burrowing behavior of the endobenthic invertebrates. There are also other biogenic structures such as plant root traces, coprolites and vertebrate fossil egg nests. The Adamantina Formation (Turonian-Santonian) is a sequence of fine sandstones, mudstones, siltstones and muddy sandstones, whose sediments are interpreted as deposited in exposed channel-bars and floodplains associated areas of braided fluvial environments. Key words: Bauru Basin, ichnofossils, late Cretaceous, continental palaeoenvironments, Adamantina Formation. RESUMO – O Grupo Bauru é uma seqüência de pelo menos 300 m de espessura, de idade cretácica (Turoniano- Maastrichtiano), localizada no Sudeste do Brasil (bacia Bauru), e consiste das formações Adamantina, Uberaba e Marília.

  • Phylogeny of the Epinephelinae (Teleostei: Serranidae)
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 240-283, 1993 PHYLOGENY OF THE EPINEPHELINAE (TELEOSTEI: SERRANIDAE) Carole C. Baldwin and G. David Johnson ABSTRACT Relationships among epinepheline genera are investigated based on cladistic analysis of larval and adult morphology. Five monophyletic tribes are delineated, and relationships among tribes and among genera of the tribe Grammistini are hypothesized. Generic com- position of tribes differs from Johnson's (1983) classification only in the allocation of Je- boehlkia to the tribe Grammistini rather than the Liopropomini. Despite the presence of the skin toxin grammistin in the Diploprionini and Grammistini, we consider the latter to be the sister group of the Liopropomini. This hypothesis is based, in part, on previously un- recognized larval features. Larval morphology also provides evidence of monophyly of the subfamily Epinephelinae, the clade comprising all epinepheline tribes except Niphonini, and the tribe Grammistini. Larval features provide the only evidence of a monophyletic Epine- phelini and a monophyletic clade comprising the Diploprionini, Liopropomini and Gram- mistini; identification of larvae of more epinephelines is needed to test those hypotheses. Within the tribe Grammistini, we propose that Jeboehlkia gladifer is the sister group of a natural assemblage comprising the former pseudogrammid genera (Aporops, Pseudogramma and Suttonia). The "soapfishes" (Grammistes, Grammistops, Pogonoperca and Rypticus) are not monophyletic, but form a series of sequential sister groups to Jeboehlkia, Aporops, Pseu- dogramma and Suttonia (the closest of these being Grammistops, followed by Rypticus, then Grammistes plus Pogonoperca). The absence in adult Jeboehlkia of several derived features shared by Grammistops, Aporops, Pseudogramma and Suttonia is incongruous with our hypothesis but may be attributable to paedomorphosis.

  • Alcolapia Grahami ERSS
    Lake Magadi Tilapia (Alcolapia grahami) Ecological Risk Screening Summary U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, March 2015 Revised, August 2017, October 2017 Web Version, 8/21/2018 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From Bayona and Akinyi (2006): “The natural range of this species is restricted to a single location: Lake Magadi [Kenya].” Status in the United States No records of Alcolapia grahami in the wild or in trade in the United States were found. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has listed the tilapia Alcolapia grahami as a prohibited species. Prohibited nonnative species (FFWCC 2018), “are considered to be dangerous to the ecology and/or the health and welfare of the people of Florida. These species are not allowed to be personally possessed or used for commercial activities.” Means of Introductions in the United States No records of Alcolapia grahami in the United States were found. 1 Remarks From Bayona and Akinyi (2006): “Vulnerable D2 ver 3.1” Various sources use Alcolapia grahami (Eschmeyer et al. 2017) or Oreochromis grahami (ITIS 2017) as the accepted name for this species. Information searches were conducted under both names to ensure completeness of the data gathered. 2 Biology and Ecology Taxonomic Hierarchy and Taxonomic Standing According to Eschmeyer et al. (2017), Alcolapia grahami (Boulenger 1912) is the current valid name for this species. It was originally described as Tilapia grahami; it has also been known as Oreoghromis grahami, and as a synonym, but valid subspecies, of

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N.

  • Quantitative Species-Level Ecology of Reef Fish Larvae Via Metabarcoding

Paris 5, Roi Holzman 2,6*, Moshe Kiflawi 2,7* and Rotem Sorek 3* The larval pool of coral reef fish has a crucial role in the dynamics of adult fish populations. However, large-scale species-level monitoring of species-rich larval pools has been technically impractical. Here, we use high-throughput metabarcoding to study larval ecology in the Gulf of Aqaba, a region that is inhabited by >500 reef fish species. We analysed 9,933 larvae from 383 samples that were stratified over sites, depth and time. Metagenomic DNA extracted from pooled larvae was matched to a mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcode database compiled for 77% of known fish species within this region. This yielded species-level reconstruction of the larval community, allowing robust estimation of larval spatio-temporal distribu- tions. We found significant correlations between species abundance in the larval pool and in local adult assemblages, suggest- ing a major role for larval supply in determining local adult densities. We documented larval flux of species whose adults were never documented in the region, suggesting environmental filtering as the reason for the absence of these species. Larvae of several deep-sea fishes were found in shallow waters, supporting their dispersal over shallow bathymetries, potentially allow- ing Lessepsian migration into the Mediterranean Sea.
