  • Phylogenetic Prospecting for Cryptic Species of the Genus Merluccius
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Phylogenetic prospecting for cryptic species of the genus Merluccius (Actinopterygii: Merlucciidae) Montse Pérez1, María Fernández‑Míguez1,2, Jesús Matallanas3, Domingo Lloris4 & Pablo Presa2* Hakes of the genus Merluccius include 11 valid species as well a number of rare morphotypes suspected to be “cryptic species”. Concatenated nucDNA ITS1‑rDNA and mtDNA cyt b sequences plus nested ITS1Nes sequences allowed to ascribe 14 specimens of nine rare morphotypes from the South Pacifc and the South Atlantic to the phylogenetic backbone of this genus. Bayesian analyses pointed to M. bilinearis and M. albidus as the oldest species of the genus and the New World cluster, respectively. The phylogenetic status of M. angustimanus from the upper Gulf of California suggests its hybrid origin between M. gayi and M. productus from about 0.25 MYA, although an ever since confnement of a subset of those species cannot be ruled out. The molecular phylodiagnostic test suggests a common origin of all rare morphotypes and the absence of cryptic hake species in the Southern Cone. The molecular background of the morphotypes distributed between the Western Pacifc South of New Zealand and the western Atlantic South of Argentina is compatible with their hybrid origin between M. gayi and both, M. australis or M. hubbsi, respectively. Te genus Merluccius comprises 11 valid species that occur on most temperate and tropical continental shelves except the Asian shores of the Pacifc Ocean1. Hakes show an anti-tropical distribution in the Atlantic Ocean and the Eastern Pacifc and a latitudinal bathymetric overlap between isotherms 7 °C and 23 °C2–4.
