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.

Phylogenetic classification of bony fishes.
Ricardo Betancur-R.,Ricardo Betancur-R.,Edward O. Wiley,Edward O. Wiley,Gloria Arratia,Arturo Acero,Nicolas Bailly,Masaki Miya,Guillaume Lecointre,Guillermo Ortí,Guillermo Ortí +10 more
TL;DR: This version of the phylogenetic classification of bony fishes is substantially improved, providing resolution for more taxa than previous versions, based on more densely sampled phylogenetic trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxon sampling and the accuracy of phylogenetic analyses
TL;DR: Thorough taxon sampling is one of the most practical ways to improve the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates, as well as the accuracyof biological inferences that are based on these phylogenetic trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of the diversity of Antarctic fishes
TL;DR: The species diversity of the Antarctic fish fauna changed notably during the ≈40 million years from the Eocene to the present, and in some notothenioid clades phyletic diversification was accompanied by considerable morphological and ecological diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitogenomic evolution and interrelationships of the Cypriniformes (Actinopterygii: Ostariophysi): the first evidence toward resolution of higher-level relationships of the world's largest freshwater fish clade based on 59 whole mitogenome sequences.

TL;DR: The present study represents the first attempt toward resolution of the higher-level relationships of the world’s largest freshwater-fish clade based on whole mitochondrial genome sequences from 53 cypriniforms plus 6 outgroups, and it is advocated that RY-coding, which takes only transversions into account, effectively removes this likely “noise” from the data set and avoids the apparent lack of signal by retaining all available positions in the dataSet.

Rod opsin cDNA sequence from the sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus) compared with those of other vertebrates
TL;DR: The absorbance spectra of rods from the sand goby were measured by using microspectrophotometry and it is shown that the rod visual pigment has a maximum absorbance at approximately 501 nm.

CHAPTER 14 – Radiation of Characiform Fishes: Evidence from Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA Sequences
TL;DR: In this article, a few representative characiform taxa and a summary of molecular phylogenetic studies of fishes based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data are presented, and a short discussion of the systematic and biogeographic implications of the phylogenetic results is included.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny and larval morphological diversity of the lanternfish genus Hygophum (Teleostei: Myctophidae).
TL;DR: The most parsimonious reconstruction of the three previously recognized, distinct larval morphs onto the molecular phylogeny revealed that one of the morphs had originated as the common ancestor of the genus, the other two having diversified separately in two subsequent major clades.

Simple (Wrong) Models for Complex Trees: A Case from Retroviridae
David Posada,Keith A. Crandall +1 more
TL;DR: An empirical example in which only the use of simpler, wrong models of evolution leads to the estimation of trees that are in agreement with biochemical and immunological evidence and with previous phylogenetic studies is reported.

An improved amplification and sequencing strategy for phylogenetic studies using the mitochondrial large subunit rRNA gene.
Alex Parker,Irv Kornfield +1 more
TL;DR: A novel primer pair is described designed to amplify this variable region in a wide range of taxa, allowing broader application and considerable streamlining of data acquisition for studies using this gene.
