Biogeography and adaptation of Notothenioid fish: Hemoglobin function and globin–gene evolution

TL;DR: An introductory overview of the evolution of the Antarctic fish fauna is presented with emphasis on the dominant perciform sub-order Notothenioidei, as well as some specific comments on the biogeography of the three phyletically basal notOThenioid families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic placement of enigmatic percomorph families (Teleostei: Percomorphaceae).

TL;DR: The authors' analyses suggest a close affinity between the orders Spariformes and Lobotiformes (including the tripletails or Lobotidae, the barbeled grunters, and tigerperches or Datnioididae), albeit support for this group is low.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel evolutionary relationship among four fish model systems.

TL;DR: Results of phylogenomic analysis based on 20 nuclear protein-coding genes confirmed the basal placement of zebrafish in the fish phylogeny but revealed an unexpected relationship among the other three species, contrary to traditionally held systematic views based on morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Hybrid Genetic Linkage Map of Two Ecologically and Morphologically Divergent Midas Cichlid Fishes (Amphilophus spp.) Obtained by Massively Parallel DNA Sequencing (ddRADSeq)

TL;DR: This genetic map will facilitate the mapping of ecomorphologically relevant adaptive traits in the repeated phenotypes that evolved within the Midas cichlid lineage and, as the first linkage map of a Neotropical cichchlid, facilitate comparative genomic analyses between African cichLids, Neotropic cich lids and other teleost fishes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gonadotropin Signaling in Zebrafish Ovary and Testis Development: Insights From Gene Knockout Study

TL;DR: The constitutive activities of both FSH receptor (FSHR) and LH receptor in zebrafish and the compensatory role of LH by cross-reacting with FSHR in the fshb;lhr double mutant are demonstrated, thus explaining the phenotypic discrepancy observed among the ligand/receptor mutant lines.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.

TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.

TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

The CLUSTAL_X windows interface: flexible strategies for multiple sequence alignment aided by quality analysis tools.

TL;DR: ClUSTAL X is a new windows interface for the widely-used progressive multiple sequence alignment program CLUSTAL W, providing an integrated system for performing multiple sequence and profile alignments and analysing the results.

MODELTEST: testing the model of DNA substitution.

TL;DR: The program MODELTEST uses log likelihood scores to establish the model of DNA evolution that best fits the data.
