New insights on early evolution of spiny-rayed fishes (Teleostei: Acanthomorpha)
*Correspondence: Wei-Jen Chen, Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University, No. 1 Sec. 4 Roosevelt Road, Taipei 10617, Taiwan e-mail: [email protected] The Acanthomorpha is the largest group of teleost fishes with about one third of extant vertebrate species. In the course of its evolution this lineage experienced several episodes of radiation, leading to a large number of des...
متن کاملRepeatability of clades as a criterion of reliability: a case study for molecular phylogeny of Acanthomorpha (Teleostei) with larger number of taxa.
Although much progress has been made recently in teleostean phylogeny, relationships among the main lineages of the higher teleosts (Acanthomorpha), containing more than 60% of all fish species, remain poorly defined. This study represents the most extensive taxonomic sampling effort to date to collect new molecular characters for phylogenetic analysis of acanthomorph fishes. We compiled and an...
متن کاملThe Rise of Jaw Protrusion in Spiny-Rayed Fishes Closes the Gap on Elusive Prey
Jaw protrusion is one of the most important innovations in vertebrate feeding over the last 400 million years [1, 2]. Protrusion enables a fish to rapidly decrease the distance between itself and its prey [2, 3]. We assessed the evolution and functional implications of jaw protrusion in teleost fish assemblages from shallow coastal seas since the Cretaceous. By examining extant teleost fishes, ...
متن کاملKaryological and molecular analysis of three endemic loaches (Actinopterygii: Cobitoidea) from Kor River basin, Iran
This study provides new data on chromosomal characteristics and DNA barcoding of three endemic loaches of Iran: spiny southern loach Cobitis linea (Heckel, 1847), Persian stream loach Oxynoemacheilus persa (Heckel, 1848) and Tongiorgi stream loach Oxynoemacheilus tongiorgii (Nalbant & Bianco, 1998). The chromosomes of these fishes were investigated by examining metaphase chromosome spreads obta...

component of the evolutionary transformation of functional design in ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii). Documenting phylogenetic patterns in the structure of the paired and median fins, and interpreting the functional significance of such patterns, has been the subject of ongoing study by systematists, functional morphologists and hydrodynamicists (e.g. Breder, 1926; Harris, 1953; Aleev, 1969;...
