TL;DR: A comprehensive molecular phylogeny for bony fishes that includes representatives of all major lineages and the order Perciformes, considered by many a polyphyletic taxonomic waste basket, is defined for the first time as a monophyletic group in the global phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species‑specific bioluminescence facilitates speciation in the deep sea
TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time, that deep-sea fishes that possess species-specific bioluminescent structures (e.g., lanternfishes, dragonfishes) are diversifying into new species at a more rapid rate than deep-SEA fishes that utilize biol Luminescence in ways that would not promote isolation of populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular analysis of the interrelationships of tetraodontiform fishes (Acanthomorpha: Tetraodontiformes).
TL;DR: The RAG1 data appear to give the best estimate of tetraodontiform phylogeny, resulting in many strongly supported nodes and showing a high degree of congruence between both parsimony and Bayesian analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular test of alternative hypotheses of tetraodontiform (Acanthomorpha : Tetraodontiformes) sister group relationships using data from the RAG1 gene
TL;DR: The results of an unweighted parsimony analysis indicate thatZeiformes is not the sister group of Tetraodontiformes, and Caproidae appears unrelated to Zeiformes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial genome and a nuclear gene indicate a novel phylogenetic position of deep-sea tube-eye fish (Stylephoridae)
Masaki Miya,Nancy I. Holcroft,Nancy I. Holcroft,Takashi P. Satoh,Motoomi Yamaguchi,Mutsumi Nishida,Edward O. Wiley +6 more
TL;DR: The present results warrant a recognition of the new order for S. chordatus in fish systematics, and suggest that Stylephorus is not a lampridiform but is closely related to the order Gadiformes (cod and their relatives).
