Journal ArticleDOI
Repeatability of clades as a criterion of reliability: a case study for molecular phylogeny of Acanthomorpha (Teleostei) with larger number of taxa.
TL;DR: This study represents the most extensive taxonomic sampling effort to date to collect new molecular characters for phylogenetic analysis of acanthomorph fishes, with new and reliable clades emerging from this study of the acanthomorphic radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematics of the grey mullets (Teleostei: Mugiliformes: Mugilidae): molecular phylogenetic evidence challenges two centuries of morphology-based taxonomy.
Jean-Dominique Durand,Kang-Ning Shen,Wei-Jen Chen,Brian Wade Jamandre,Hager Blel,Khady Diop,Mauro Nirchio,F. J. García De León,Alan K. Whitfield,Chih-Wei Chang,Philippe Borsa +10 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first comprehensive molecular systematic account of the Mugilidae using phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequence variation at three mitochondrial loci for 257 individuals from 55 currently recognized species to provide a sound basis for a taxonomic revision of the mugilid genera.
Journal ArticleDOI
At Least Two Origins of Fungicide Resistance in Grapevine Downy Mildew Populations
Wei-Jen Chen,François Delmotte,Sylvie Richard Cervera,Lisette Douence,Charles Greif,Marie-France Corio-Costet +5 more
TL;DR: A high population structure was found when the frequency of QoI fungicide resistance haplotypes was assessed in 17 French vineyards, indicating that pathogen populations might be under strong directional selection for local adaptation to fungicide pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships of the earth's most diverse clade of freshwater fishes—order Cypriniformes (Actinopterygii: Ostariophysi): A case study using multiple nuclear loci and the mitochondrial genome
Richard L. Mayden,Wei-Jen Chen,Henry L. Bart,Michael H. Doosey,Andrew M. Simons,Kevin L. Tang,Robert M. Wood,Mary K. Agnew,Lei Yang,M. Vincent Hirt,Mark D. Clements,Kenji Saitoh,Tetsuya Sado,Masaki Miya,Mutsumi Nishida +14 more
TL;DR: Examining the phylogenetic relationships of major clades of Cypriniformes using previously published mitogenomes and four putative single-copy nuclear genes of the same or closely related species found homoplasy in the nuclear genes was measurably less than that observed in mitochondrial sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic utility of two existing and four novel nuclear gene loci in reconstructing Tree of Life of ray-finned fishes: The order Cypriniformes (Ostariophysi) as a case study
TL;DR: A set of 6 previous and 22 new PCR/sequencing primers for RAG1, Rhodopsin and four novel nuclear markers from IRBP, E GR1, EGR2B and EGR3 are described that were developed through an approach making use of public genetic/genomic data mining for one of the ongoing tree of life projects aimed at understanding the evolutionary relationships of the planet's largest clade of freshwater fishes--the Cypriniformes.
