The infrabranchial musculature and its bearing on the phylogeny of percomorph fishes (Osteichthyes: Teleostei).
TL;DR: The present analysis further confirms the validity of infrabranchial musculature characters previously proposed to support the grouping of the Mugiliformes with the Atherinomorphae and the monophyly of the Labriforme with the possible inclusion of the Pholidichthyiformes.

Revisiting recent phylogenetic studies of “Scorpaeniformes”
Gento Shinohara,Hisashi Imamura +1 more
TL;DR: Although some authors included Dactylopteridae within “Scorpaeniformes” (e.g., Gosline, 1971; Nelson, 1994), that family is here provisionally included under DactYLopteriformes.

The evolutionary history of the goby Elacatinus puncticulatus in the tropical eastern pacific: Effects of habitat discontinuities and local environmental variability.
E.R. Sandoval-Huerta,Rosa Gabriela Beltrán-López,Rosa Gabriela Beltrán-López,C.R. Pedraza-Marrón,M.A. Paz-Velásquez,Arturo Angulo,D. R. Robertson,Eduardo Espinoza,Omar Domínguez-Domínguez +8 more
TL;DR: Large genetic distances, high genetic differentiation, and the results of species-tree and phylogenetic analyses indicate that E. puncticulatus comprises a complex of three allopatric species with an unusual geographic arrangement along the continental TEP.

Toxin gene determination and evolution in scorpaenoid fish
Po-Shun Chuang,Jen-Chieh Shiao +1 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis suggests that an additional gene duplication occurred before the speciation of the lionfish (Pteroinae) and a pseudogene may be generally present in the lineage of lionfish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic similarity of disjunct populations of the giant sea bass Stereolepis gigas
TL;DR: Although Pacific coast and Sea of Cortez populations of giant sea bass do not exhibit the mitochondrial phylogenetic break characteristic of many species with disjunct Pacific and Gulf populations, the possibility of genetic differentiation at nuclear loci suggests that a cautious approach to broodstock selection for captive breeding and restoration programmes be exercised.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
