Evidences for genetic differentiation within the highly endemic and endangered annual fish Austrolebias nigrofasciatus (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae).
Crislaine Barbosa,Daiana Kaster Garcez,Matheus Vieira Volcan,Lizandra Jaqueline Robe,Lizandra Jaqueline Robe +4 more
TL;DR: Four new populations from the Piratini River that encompass a different lineage of A. nigrofasciatus are found, indicating each of them may encompass independent management units, and significant levels of genetic differentiation and a high number of exclusive haplotypes could be encountered even in micro-geographical scales.

Position of Krusensterniella genus (Gymnelinae, Zoarcidae) in the system of Zoarcidae fish family according to molecular genetic data
TL;DR: Using the analysis of variability of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA genes, it was established that the Krusensterniella genus is included in the Gymnelsinae subfamily and, along with the Gymnelopsis genus, generates a group of taxa of species devoid of ventral fins.
Understanding the importance of taxonomic sampling for large-scale phylogenetic analyses by simulating evolutionary processes under complex models
TL;DR: This work explored the effect of taxonomy-based taxon sampling on phylogenetic accuracy and investigated the non-biological factors that lead to biases in phylogenetic tree imbalance, concluding that phylogenetic noise is the primary cause of tree shape bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic resolution of the monotypic and enigmatic Amarsipus, the Bagless Glassfish (Teleostei, Amarsipidae)
TL;DR: A taxonomically comprehensive phylogenomic framework to test the evolutionary relationships of Amarsipus, and evaluate the support for stromateoid monophyly is provided, casting uncertainty on previous hypotheses of the evolution of morphological traits across members of Pelagiaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical amino acid replacements in the rhodopsin gene of 19 teleost species occupying different light environments from shallow-waters to the deep-sea
TL;DR: This is the first study in the rhodopsin gene sequence in all the species under study, except for Macruronus novaezelandiae and H. mediterraneus, and it is possible that the combination 292A/299S is an adaptation to longer wavelengths of light in comparison with the deeper species.

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.
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.
