“…The nonmuseum specimens were identified using the following references: for Australian and New Zealand specimens, Fricke (1994); for Chile, Fricke (1997), for South Africa, Holleman (1986) and Fricke (1997), for Spain, Carreras-Carbonell et al (2007) and for USA, Allen & Robertson (1994). The museum specimens used in this study were already identified when they have been borrowed.…”

Assessment of the morphometry of saccular otoliths as a tool to identify triplefin species (Tripterygiidae)

In the present work we describe nine saccular otolith morphometric indices (circularity, rectangularity, aspect ratio, percentage of the otolith surface occupied by the sulcus, percentage of the sulcus length occupied by the cauda length and ostium length, otolith length relative to the length of the fish, rostrum aspect ratio and percentage of the rostrum length occupied by the otolith length) of 41 species of the Tripterygiidae family collected mainly from New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa, Mediterranean Sea and North America. The principal component of analysis showed that the indices that best explain the variability between species were related to sulcus and rostrum morphometry. According to cluster analysis, otolith morphometry could reflect the diversity of microenvironments for some genera such as Notoclinops and Forsterygion, while this does not happen to genera like Enneapterygius and Ruanoho. The discriminant analysis showed that the species Helcogrammoides cunninghami, Karalepis stewarti, Lepidoblennius haplodactylus, Notoclinus compressus, Ucla xenogrammus can be discriminated by using the morphometric indices. Two new indices related to the sulcus that were of great value for the discrimination of these species are described for the first time. This information will be a useful tool for palaeontological, taxonomic and trophic ecology studies.

“…For example, when studying the endangered fish Epinephelus marginatus Lowe, 1834, Gilles et al (2000) found a cryptic species from the Algerian coast. Also, a recent study of the Tripterygion tripteronotus (Risso, 1810) complex revealed the existence of two genetically divergent lineages: one inhabiting the northern and eastern Mediterranean basin and another restricted to Southern Spain and North Africa, from Morocco to Tunisia (Carreras-Carbonell, Pascual & MacPherson, 2007).…”

“…The Mediterranean has nine endemic genera teleost reef fish, representing 11% of its total genera (Floeter et al, 2008). For instance, the genus Tripterygion (Blennioidei: Trypterigiidae) has four recognized species (Carreras-Carbonell et al, 2007), all of which occur in the Mediterranean. Only Tripterygion delaisi is not endemic to this Sea, extending its distribution to the Atlantic, both northward to the English Channel and southward to Senegal.…”

“…Much of the fish fauna of the Lusitania Province is composed of fish of tropical origin that withstand lower temperatures and cold-adapted species that survive in warmer waters. In some cases, there is evidence supporting a history of substantial evolution and diversification in this Province, so that many genera and some subfamilies are endemic or almost endemic, e.g., taxa of Blenniidae, Trypterigiidae, Labridae and Gobiesocidae (e.g., Almada et al, 2008;Carreras-Carbonell et al, 2007;Hanel et al, 2002).…”

a b s t r a c tThe Lusitania Province has been considered a transition zone between the Atlantic northern cold waters and Tropical warm waters. Tropical species have expanded their ranges during warm periods and either retreated during cold periods or survived in local refuges. Successive waves of dispersion into this Province could have favored diversification through geographic isolation. Taxa that remained in this large Province may also have diversified in loco. We analyzed molecular markers of the genus Microlipophrys (family Blenniidae) that confirm the validity of this genus and of the seven recognized species. Microlipophrys and its sister clade apparently originated within Lusitania and dispersed into the tropics at a later stage.
