Comparative 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 کاملHistorical biogeography of the livebearing fish genus Poeciliopsis (Poeciliidae: Cyprinodontiformes).
To assess the historical biogeography of freshwater topminnows in the genus Poeciliopsis, we examined sequence variation in two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome b (1140 bp) and NADH subunit 2 (1047 bp). This widespread fish genus is distributed from Arizona to western Colombia, and nearly half of its 21 named species have distributions that border on the geologically active Trans-Mexican Volcani...
متن کاملThe evolution of copulatory organs, internal fertilization, placentae and viviparity in killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes) inferred from a DNA phylogeny of the tyrosine kinase gene X-src.
Cyprinodontiforms are a diverse group of approximately 900 pantropical and temperate fishes, mostly found in freshwater. Whereas the vast majority of fishes lay eggs (i.e. are oviparous), this group is unusual in that four groups of cyprinodont fishes give birth to living young (i.e. are viviparous). A molecular phylogenetic hypothesis was based on partial DNA sequences of the tyrosine kinase g...
متن کاملReproductive Adaptations among Viviparous Fishes (cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae).
Within the family Poeciliidae, a wide range of adaptations accompanying viviparity has evolved. The reproductive mechanisms of five representative species were examined and related to the habitats in which they are employed. Poecilia reticulata, the guppy, represents the majority of poeciliids which have a single stage of embryos in the ovary at a time. Most of the nutrients are prepack-aged in...
متن کاملAnnotated list and key to the stream fishes of Trinidad & Tobago.
Based on historical and museum records and recent extensive collecting we compiled a checklist of 77 fish species reported from the streams of Trinidad and Tobago. A key with photographs is provided to aid in identifications, as well as brief notes on habitat, diet, reproduction, maximum size, local common names and distribution.
