    American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Board of Governors Meeting Westin – Narragansett Ballroom B Providence, Rhode Island 7 July 2010 Maureen A. Donnelly Secretary Florida International University College of Arts & Sciences 11200 SW 8th St. - ECS 450 Miami, FL 33199 [email protected] 305.348.1235 13 June 2010 The ASIH Board of Governor's is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, 7 July 2010 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in the Westin Hotel in Narragansett Ballroom B. President Hanken plans to move blanket acceptance of all reports included in this book that cover society business for 2009 and 2010 (in part). The book includes the ballot information for the 2010 elections (Board of Governors and Annual Business Meeting). Governors can ask to have items exempted from blanket approval. These exempted items will be acted upon individually. We will also act individually on items exempted by the Executive Committee. Please remember to bring this booklet with you to the meeting. I will bring a few extra copies to Providence. Please contact me directly (email is best - [email protected]) with any questions you may have. Please notify me if you will not be able to attend the meeting so I can share your regrets with the Governors. I will leave for Providence (via Boston on 4 July 2010) so try to contact me before that date if possible. I will arrive in Providence on the afternoon of 6 July 2010 The Annual Business Meeting will be held on Sunday 11 July 2010 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in The Rhode Island Convention Center (RICC) in Room 556 AB.

Comparative Cytogenetics 8(3): 169–183. doi: 10.3897/CompCytogen.v8i3.7279 Abstract A comparative cytogenetic analysis was carried out in five species of a monophyletic clade of neotropical Cichlasomatine cichlids, namely Cleithracara maronii Steindachner, 1881, Ivanacara adoketa (Kullander & Prada-Pedreros, 1993), Nannacara anomala Regan, 1905, N. aureocephalus Allgayer, 1983 and N. tae- nia Regan, 1912. Karyotypes and other chromosomal characteristics were revealed by CDD banding and mapped onto the phylogenetic hypothesis based on molecular analyses of four genes, namely cyt b, 16S rRNA, S7 and RAG1. The diploid numbers of chromosomes ranged from 44 to 50, karyotypes were com- posed predominantly of monoarmed chromosomes and one to three pairs of CMA3 signal were observed.

By means of morphological and molecular evidence, we identified these specimens as Gephagus sveni, a species known from middle portion of the Tocantins River.

  • East African Cichlid Lineages (Teleostei: Cichlidae) Might Be
    Schedel et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2019) 19:94 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1417-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access East African cichlid lineages (Teleostei: Cichlidae) might be older than their ancient host lakes: new divergence estimates for the east African cichlid radiation Frederic Dieter Benedikt Schedel1, Zuzana Musilova2 and Ulrich Kurt Schliewen1* Abstract Background: Cichlids are a prime model system in evolutionary research and several of the most prominent examples of adaptive radiations are found in the East African Lakes Tanganyika, Malawi and Victoria, all part of the East African cichlid radiation (EAR). In the past, great effort has been invested in reconstructing the evolutionary and biogeographic history of cichlids (Teleostei: Cichlidae). In this study, we present new divergence age estimates for the major cichlid lineages with the main focus on the EAR based on a dataset encompassing representative taxa of almost all recognized cichlid tribes and ten mitochondrial protein genes. We have thoroughly re-evaluated both fossil and geological calibration points, and we included the recently described fossil †Tugenchromis pickfordi in the cichlid divergence age estimates. Results: Our results estimate the origin of the EAR to Late Eocene/Early Oligocene (28.71 Ma; 95% HPD: 24.43–33.15 Ma). More importantly divergence ages of the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of several Tanganyika cichlid tribes were estimated to be substantially older than the oldest estimated maximum age of the Lake Tanganyika: Trematocarini (16.13 Ma, 95% HPD: 11.89–20.46 Ma), Bathybatini (20.62 Ma, 95% HPD: 16.88–25.34 Ma), Lamprologini (15.27 Ma; 95% HPD: 12.23–18.49 Ma).

ABSTRACT Within its genus, Chirostoma humboldtianum is one of the species with the widest distribution, inhabiting lake and pond environments along the Lerma-Santiago basin in the Mexican Plateau. Although the species is of great ichthyological, economic, and cultural relevance, factors related to human activity such as habitat loss, pollution, overfishing, and in- troduction of non-native fish have played important roles in the decline and disappearance of populations. With the aim of describing the karyotype of the species, 22 specimens of C.

Here we present a targeted- 19 exon next-generation sequencing approach for investigating the evolutionary 20 relationships of cichlid fishes (Cichlidae), with a particular focus on the Neotropical 21 subfamily Cichlinae using a set of 923 primarily single-copy exons designed through 22 mining of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) genome. Sequence capture and 23 assembly were robust, leading to a complete dataset of 415 exons for 139 species (147 1 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/133512; this version posted May 2, 2017.
