Key role of scale morphology in flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) in the ability to keep sand
Flatfishes bury themselves for camouflage and protection. Whereas species-specific preferences for certain sediments were previously shown, the role of scales in interaction with sediment has not been investigated. Here, scale morphology and sediment friction were examined in four European pleuronectiforms: Limanda limanda, Platichthys flesus, Pleuronectes platessa, and Solea solea. All species...
متن کاملAddressing gene tree discordance and non-stationarity to resolve a multi-locus phylogeny of the flatfishes (Teleostei: Pleuronectiformes).
Non-homogeneous processes and, in particular, base compositional non-stationarity have long been recognized as a critical source of systematic error. But only a small fraction of current molecular systematic studies methodically examine and effectively account for the potentially confounding effect of non-stationarity. The problem is especially overlooked in multi-locus or phylogenomic scale an...
متن کاملAre the Subgenera of Sebastes Monophyletic?
We examined genetic relationships among Sebastes rockfishes to evaluate the subgeneric relationships within Sebastes. We analyzed restriction site variation (12S and 16S rRNA and NADH dehydrogenase-3 and -4 genes) by using parsimony and distance analyses. Seventy-one Sebastes species representing 16 subgenera were included. Thirteen subgenera were represented by more than one species, and three...
متن کاملUrochordates are monophyletic within the deuterostomes.
Understanding the phylogenetic relationships of the three major urochordate groups within the deuterostomes is central to understanding the evolution of the chordates. We have prepared a detailed phylogenetic analysis of urochordates based on comparisons of 10 new urochordate 18S ribosomal DNA sequences with other urochordate sequences in GenBank. Maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining, minimum ev...
