TLDR
Rereshwater fishes are usually appropriate for use in biogeography studies, primarily because of their restricted distribution and the strong relationship between evolutionary history and geologi-cal events.Abstract:
reshwater fishes are usually appropriatefor use in biogeography studies, primarily becauseof their restricted distribution and the strong asso-ciation between evolutionary history and geologi-cal events. Unfortunately, their native habitatshave been seriously altered by human activities inrecent years. Several local extinctions haveoccurred, especially among lowland species inTaiwan.The typical example is the ricefish,read more

Statistical method for testing the neutral mutation hypothesis by DNA polymorphism.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the natural selection against large insertion/deletion is so weak that a large amount of variation is maintained in a population.

A Phylogenetic Analysis and Taxonomic Revision of Ricefishes, Oryzias and Relatives (Beloniformes, Adrianichthyidae)
TL;DR: Ricefishes, known best by the model organism, the medaka, Oryzias latipes Temminck & Schlegel, 1846, comprise the family Adrianichthyidae, which ranges broadly throughout fresh and brackish waters of Central, South and Southeast Asia and the Indo-Malay-Philippines Archipelago as far east as Timor.

Elucidating genetic signatures of native and introduced populations of the Cycad Blue, Chilades pandava to Taiwan: a threat both to Sago Palm and to native Cycas populations worldwide
TL;DR: This study not only flags an important new invasive insect that needs to be monitored and controlled within the horticultural trade and for in situ cycad conservation, but also provides a clearly documented case of the transformation of a native tropical butterfly into a pest via introduced horticulture plants.

The untapped potential of medaka and its wild relatives.
Leon Hilgers,Julia Schwarzer +1 more
TL;DR: It has become clear over time that rather than being a single species, medaka comprises an entire species complex, so disentangling the species boundaries is an important goal for future research.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice
TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.

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.
