Robalo & Carla Sousa-Santos & Ignacio Doadrio & Vítor C. Almada Received: 27 September 2007 /Accepted: 26 March 2008 # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2008 Common name: Ruivaco do Oeste (Portuguese); western ruivaco. Conservation status: According to the IUCN criteria B1ab (i, ii, iii) + 2ab (i, ii, iii) this species must be considered Critically Endangered (Robalo et al. 2005). Identification:Thissmall cyprinid (about 100 mm TL) differs from the other members of its genus (A. arcasii and A. oligolepis)by the following combination of characters: 40–43 canaliculate scales on the lateral line, six to seven scales above the lateral line, two to three scales below the lateral line, axillary pelvic scale shorter than or the summer in small pools under the shade of equal to the insertion of the pelvic fin and a very thick vegetation. Reproduction: A. occidentale breeds in coronoid process of the dentary (Robalo et al. 2005). late April and May, forming spawning aggregations Distribution: It occurs in three small coastal streams and releasing adhesive eggs over stones and vegeta- (Sizandro, Safarujo and Alcabrichel rivers) in west tion (Pereira 2007). Threats: Sewage from pig farms, central Portugal (apparently extinct in the river distilleries, agricultural and urban pollution. Conser- Safarujo).

  • Dynamics of Rex3 in the Genomes of Endangered Iberian Leuciscinae (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) and Their Natural Hybrids Carla Sofia A
    Pereira et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2015) 8:81 DOI 10.1186/s13039-015-0180-1 RESEARCH Open Access Dynamics of Rex3 in the genomes of endangered Iberian Leuciscinae (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) and their natural hybrids Carla Sofia A. Pereira1* , Marlon F. Pazian1, Petr Ráb2 and Maria João Collares-Pereira1 Abstract Background: Iberian Leuciscinae are greatly diverse comprising taxa of hybrid origin. With highly conservative karyotypes, Iberian Chondrostoma s.l. have recently demonstrated sub-chromosomal differentiation and rapid genome restructuring in natural hybrids, which was confirmed by ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transposition and/or multiplication. To understand the role of repetitive DNAs in the differentiation of their genomes, a genetic and molecular cytogenetic survey was conducted in Achondrostoma oligolepis, Anaecypris hispanica, Iberochondrostoma lemmingii, I. lusitanicum, Pseudochondrostoma duriense, P. polylepis, Squalius pyrenaicus and hybrids between A. oligolepis x(P. duriense/P. polylepis), representing ‘alburnine’, chondrostomine and Squalius lineages. Results: Partial Rex3 sequences evidenced high sequence homology among Leuciscinae (≥98 %) and different fish families (80–95 %) proposing a relatively recent activity of these elements in the species inspected. Low nucleotide substitution rates (<20 %) and intact ORFs suggests that Rex3 may in fact be active in these genomes. The chromosomal distribution of Rex3 retroelement was found highly concentrated at pericentromeric and moderately at subtelomeric blocks, co-localizing with 5S rDNA loci, and correlating with blocks of heterochromatin and C0t-1 DNA. This accumulation was evident in at least 10 chromosome pairs, a pattern that seemed to be shared among the different species, likely pre-dating their divergence. Nevertheless, species-specific clusters were detected in I. lusitanicum, P.

ABSTRACT – Cyprinid fauna endemic to the Iberian Peninsula is currently facing several human-caused threats which enhance their risk of extinction. The populations of the critically endangered Achondrostoma occidentale, occurring only in three small and intermittent Portuguese river basins, have been reinforced with fish bred ex-situ in order to minimize their risk of extinction. This study aimed to describe the restocking actions conducted and to identify and characterize the summer refugia that should become targets for restoration and further restocking. The results evidence population increments and a high representativeness of younger age classes in the restocked populations. The importance of annual monitoring of fish abundance to assess how the species is coping with the stochastic and deterministic stressors that may eventually compromise its survival is highlighted.

Morocco urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:EA344560-E0FA-4D5D-A51C-23771D124D4B * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The genus Luciobarbus in Morocco presents high diversification, in contrast to the generally impoverished freshwater fish fauna from North Africa. Within Morocco the northern area is one of the least studied territories, due to both its historical background and the limited accessibility of many regions. Previous phylogenetic studies identified Luciobarbus populations that are morphologically and genetically differentiated, to the same extent as others already recognized as separate species. The aim of this work is to describe these populations as distinct species, based on morphological, meristic, and genetic traits. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8FC4B423-104C-4097-A468-ED3D2664A15A Key words: Cyprinidae; Luciobarbus; taxonomic review; new species; Morocco.

Samples were taken seasonally in three medium-sized rivers representing a gradient of temporality. The stomach contents of 97 individuals (42-126 mm total length, TL) were analysed. Although there was no significant overall variation in diet composition between rivers, differences were found among seasons. A broad range of food categories was identified, although a smaller subset of primarily detritus (77.6 %) and plant material (18.4 %) constituted the base diet. Of the animal prey, Coleoptera and Diptera were the most prevalent, occurring in 13.2 % and 9.8 % of the fish, respectively, and were consumed mainly in the spring.

    Perea et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:265 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/265 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenetic relationships and biogeographical patterns in Circum-Mediterranean subfamily Leuciscinae (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) inferred from both mitochondrial and nuclear data Silvia Perea1*, Madelaine Böhme2, Primož Zupančič3, Jörg Freyhof4, Radek Šanda5, Müfit Özuluğ6, Asghar Abdoli7, Ignacio Doadrio1 Abstract Background: Leuciscinae is a subfamily belonging to the Cyprinidae fish family that is widely distributed in Circum-Mediterranean region. Many efforts have been carried out to deciphering the evolutionary history of this group. Thus, different biogeographical scenarios have tried to explain the colonization of Europe and Mediterranean area by cyprinids, such as the “north dispersal” or the “Lago Mare dispersal” models. Most recently, Pleistocene glaciations influenced the distribution of leuciscins, especially in North and Central Europe. Weighing up these biogeographical scenarios, this paper constitutes not only the first attempt at deciphering the mitochondrial and nuclear relationships of Mediterranean leuciscins but also a test of biogeographical hypotheses that could have determined the current distribution of Circum-Mediterranean leuciscins. Results: A total of 4439 characters (mitochondrial + nuclear) from 321 individuals of 176 leuciscine species rendered a well-supported phylogeny, showing fourteen main lineages. Analyses of independent mitochondrial and nuclear markers supported the same main lineages, but basal relationships were not concordant. Moreover, some incongruence was found among independent mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies. The monophyly of some poorly known genera such as Pseudophoxinus and Petroleuciscus was rejected. Representatives of both genera belong to different evolutionary lineages. Timing of cladogenetic events among the main leuciscine lineages was gained using mitochondrial and all genes data set.
