Divergent karyotypes of the annual killifish genus Nothobranchius (Cyprinodontiformes, Nothobranchiidae)
Karyotypes of two species of the African annual killifish genus Nothobranchius Peters, 1868, Nothobranchius brieni Poll, 1938 and Nothobranchius sp. from Kasenga (D.R. Congo) are described. Both species displayed diploid chromosome number 2n = 49/50 for males and females respectively with multiple-sex chromosome system type X1X2Y/X1X1X2X2. The karyotypes of studied species are considerably diff...
متن کاملSpecies delimitation using Bayes factors: simulations and application to the Sceloporus scalaris species group (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae).
Current molecular methods of species delimitation are limited by the types of species delimitation models and scenarios that can be tested. Bayes factors allow for more flexibility in testing non-nested species delimitation models and hypotheses of individual assignment to alternative lineages. Here, we examined the efficacy of Bayes factors in delimiting species through simulations and empiric...
متن کاملComparative phylogeography of livebearing fishes in the genera Poeciliopsis and Poecilia (Poeciliidae: Cyprinodontiformes) in central Mexico
Phylogeography relies on examination of geographical distributions of genealogical lineages (Avise, 2000), whereas biogeography relies upon concordant geographical distributions of multiple species (Briggs, 1974; Nelson & Platnick, 1981). However, just as biogeography depends on evidence from multiple species, inference about phylogeographical patterns can be strengthened by examination of mult...
متن کاملReview of Aphanius species (Cyprinodontiformes: Aphaniidae) in Iran
The genus Aphanius belong to the family Aphaniidae which is widely distributed in the Mediterranean basin, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and brackish and freshwaters of Iran, Pakistan and India. To date, 14 species have been described under the genus Aphanius, in Iran. Currently, due to human-induced disturbance activities (hydrological alteration, introduction of exotic species, over-fishing, ...
متن کاملPhylogeography and DNA-based species delimitation provide insight into the taxonomy of the polymorphic rose chafer Protaetia (Potosia) cuprea species complex (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) in the Western Palearctic
The development of modern methods of species delimitation, unified under the "integrated taxonomy" approach, allows a critical examination and re-evaluation of complex taxonomic groups. The rose chafer Protaetia (Potosia) cuprea is a highly polymorphic species group with a large distribution range. Despite its overall commonness, its taxonomy is unclear and subject to conflicting hypotheses, mo...
