Cichlids of the genus Thorichthys are a morphologically diverse clade nine species occurring from Mexico south to Motagua River in Guatemala and Honduras. Our understanding relationships within other genera Northern Neotropical cichlids has improved recent years; however, phylogenetic placement some species, as well population-level variation, remains understudied. panchovillai is polymorphic endemic Coatzacoalcos Atlantic slope Mexico. The was described upper reaches this river, since that...
Delimiting species across a speciation continuum is complex task, as the process of origin not generally instantaneous. The use genome-wide data provides unprecedented resolution to address convoluted delimitation cases, often unraveling cryptic diversity. However, because approaches based on multispecies coalescent model are known confound population structure with boundaries, resulting in taxonomic over-splitting, it has become increasingly evident that research must consider multiple...
The high speciation rate of Chirostoma in Central Mexico has been associated with allopatric events promoted by the emergence vicariant barriers freshwater habitats, as well sympatric ecological segregation, common those species inhabiting lacustrine ecosystems. Through nuclear and mitochondrial markers, this study revealed a process within attenuatum resulting two evolutionary independent units that coincide their morphological differentiation, indicating zirahuen may be considered separate...
Introduction: Isla del Coco is an important protected area for marine fauna in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. In this area, species that inhabit intertidal zone have been subject to few studies. One of inhabiting these areas clingfish Gobiesox adustus (Gobiesocidae). Objective: To analyze first time mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) G. adustus’ population from and compare it with those continental coast Costa Rica Ecuador. Methods: We constructed a haplotype network...
Background Understanding the processes that influence distribution of organisms is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Speciation freshwater fishes mainly associated with “island-like” model evolution, which formation land barriers between different hydrographic basins interrupts gene flow and promotes isolation. Freshwater fish therefore provide an excellent system for macro- micro-evolutionary studies. The Mesa Silverside, Chirostoma jordani , one most widespread species Mexican Plateau,...
