  • Urobatis Halleri, U. Concentricus, and U. Maculatus As Subspecies by Scot
    Resolving Relationships: Urobatis halleri, U. concentricus, and U. maculatus as Subspecies By Scott Heffernan Evolutionary Biology and Ecology, University of Colorado at Boulder Defense Date: October 31, 2012 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Andrew Martin, Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Defense Committee: Dr. Andrew Martin, Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Dr. Barbara Demmig‐Adams, Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Dr. Nicholas Schneider, Astrophysical, Planetary, and Atmospheric Sciences Abstract Hybridization is the interbreeding of separate species to create a novel species (hybrid). It is important to the study of evolution because it complicates the biological species concept proposed by Ernst Mayr (1963), which is widely adopted in biology for defining species. This study investigates possible hybridization between three stingrays of the genus Urobatis (Myliobatiformes: Urotrygonidae). Two separate loci were chosen for investigation, a nuclear region and the mitochondrial gene NADH2. Inability to resolve three separate species within the mitochondrial phylogeny indicate that gene flow has occurred between Urobatis maculatus, Urobatis concentricus, and Urobatis halleri. Additionally, the lack of divergence within the nuclear gene indicates that these three species are very closely related, and may even be a single species. Further investigation is recommended with a larger sample base and additional genes. Introduction There are many definitions for what constitutes a species, though the most widely adopted is the biological species concept, proposed by Ernst Mayr in 1963. Under this concept, members of a species can “actually and potentially interbreed” (Mayr 1963), whereas members of different species cannot. While this concept is useful when comparing members of distantly related species, it breaks down when comparing members of closely related species (for example horses and donkeys), especially when these species have overlapping species boundaries.

  • Monitoring Elasmobranch Assemblages in a Data-Poor Country from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Using Baited Remote Underwater Vide
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Monitoring elasmobranch assemblages in a data‑poor country from the Eastern Tropical Pacifc using baited remote underwater video stations Mario Espinoza1,2,3*, Tatiana Araya‑Arce1,2, Isaac Chaves‑Zamora1,2,4, Isaac Chinchilla5 & Marta Cambra1,2 Understanding how threatened species are distributed in space and time can have direct applications to conservation planning. However, implementing standardized methods to monitor populations of wide‑ranging species is often expensive and challenging. In this study, we used baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) to quantify elasmobranch abundance and distribution patterns across a gradient of protection in the Pacifc waters of Costa Rica. Our BRUVS survey detected 29 species, which represents 54% of the entire elasmobranch diversity reported to date in shallow waters (< 60 m) of the Pacifc of Costa Rica. Our data demonstrated that elasmobranchs beneft from no‑take MPAs, yet large predators are relatively uncommon or absent from open‑fshing sites. We showed that BRUVS are capable of providing fast and reliable estimates of the distribution and abundance of data‑poor elasmobranch species over large spatial and temporal scales, and in doing so, they can provide critical information for detecting population‑level changes in response to multiple threats such as overfshing, habitat degradation and climate change. Moreover, given that 66% of the species detected are threatened, a well‑designed BRUVS survey may provide crucial population data for assessing the conservation status of elasmobranchs. These eforts led to the establishment of a national monitoring program focused on elasmobranchs and key marine megafauna that could guide monitoring eforts at a regional scale.

This species was characterized by having five pairs of gill openings, tail with one to three large spines, long snout length, long caudal fin, and pleated margin of nasal curtain. It is morphologically similar to Urolophus aurantiacus, but the former is distinguished from the latter by having longer caudal fin and snout length. We add P. daviesi to the Korean fish fauna and suggest the new Korean names, “Gin-kko-ri-huin-ga-o-ri-gwa”, “Gin-kko-ri-huin-ga-o-ri-sok” and “Gin-kko-ri-huin-ga-o-ri” for the family, genus and species, respectively. Key words: New record, Plesiobatididae, Plesiobatis daviesi, Korea INTRODUCTION no. 110). Here, we describe the morphological characters of P. daviesi as an addition to the list of Korean fishes. The family Plesiobatididae, belonging to order Mylio­ bastiformes consists of a single species worldwide (Jeong, 2000; Nelson, 2006; Ebert, 2014).

This is the first report of morphological abnormalities in embryos of Roger's roundray Urotrygon rogersi in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. The embryos of two pregnant females caught in artisanal shrimp trawl nets had incomplete, deformed pectoral fins that were separated from the head along the anterior margin. Moreover, one of the embryos presented a fin-like extension in the dorsal surface.
