The Evolution of the Placenta Drives a Shift in Sexual Selection in Livebearing Fish

In spite of the accumulated knowledge on the systematics of this freshwater ichthyo- fauna, recent results suggested that we are far from having a complete picture of the Cuban freshwater fish diversity. It is estimated that 40% of freshwater Cuban fish are endemic; how- ever, this number may be even higher. Partial sequences (652 bp) of the mitochondrial gene COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) were used to barcode 126 individuals, representing 27 taxonomically recognized species in 17 genera and 10 families. Analysis was based on Kimura 2-parameter genetic distances, and for four genera a character-based analysis (popula- tion aggregation analysis) was also used. -
