“…This coverage includes more than 80% of the 902 Canadian and American species listed by Nelson et al (14). In accordance with the Fish Barcode of Life Campaign (15), we deposited all sequences and collateral specimen information within the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) (16), where this information can be queried by users, annotated, and curated in light of new information.…”

Freshwater ecosystems are being heavily exploited and degraded by human activities all over the world, including in North America, where fishes and fisheries are strongly affected. Despite centuries of taxonomic inquiry, problems inherent to species identification continue to hamper the conservation of North American freshwater fishes. Indeed, nearly 10% of species diversity is thought to remain undescribed. To provide an independent calibration of taxonomic uncertainty and to establish a more accessible molecular identification key for its application, we generated a standard reference library of mtDNA sequences (DNA barcodes) derived from expert-identified museum specimens for 752 North American freshwater fish species. This study demonstrates that 90% of known species can be delineated using barcodes. Moreover, it reveals numerous genetic discontinuities indicative of independently evolving lineages within described species, which points to the presence of morphologically cryptic diversity. From the 752 species analyzed, our survey flagged 138 named species that represent as many as 347 candidate species, which suggests a 28% increase in species diversity. In contrast, several species of parasitic and nonparasitic lampreys lack such discontinuity and may represent alternative life history strategies within single species. Therefore, it appears that the current North American freshwater fish taxonomy at the species level significantly conceals diversity in some groups, although artificially creating diversity in others. In addition to providing an easily accessible digital identification system, this study identifies 151 fish species for which taxonomic revision is required.

“…For the genus Etheostoma, for example, we have already included nearly all described species. Thus, we included specimens from 139 Etheostoma species, whereas for the same genus, Nelson et al (14) listed a total of 131 described Canadian and American species. More recently, 142 species (98.6%) were listed in FishBase (17).…”

“…Nor does our broad conclusion depend upon separate-species status for K. marmoratus and K. ocellatus. Even if these fish are deemed conspecific [as they are in a current formal classification (20)], the empirical case for the long-term retention of self-fertilization would remain. Thus, even under extremely conservative assumptions, the data forcefully argue that the capacity for self-fertilization is a long-term reproductive mode in Kryptolebias.…”

“…To evaluate the presence or absence and the rate of selfing, we screened microsatellite loci in populations of four nominal Kryptolebias species (Table 1): the sister taxa K. marmoratus and Kryptolebias ocellatus; Kryptolebias caudomarginatus, the closest phylogenetic outlier to that clade; and a more distant relative, Kryptolebias brasiliensis (16,17). These taxa are deemed valid species in recent taxonomical evaluations (18), although K. marmoratus and K. ocellatus have been synonymized (19,20). For current purposes (estimating the antiquity of the self-fertilization capacity), the taxonomic status of K. marmoratus and K. ocellatus is much less important than the elapsed time since these evolutionary entities separated.…”

Among vertebrate animals, only the mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus) was known to self-fertilize. Here, we use microsatellite analyses to document a high selfing rate (97%) in a related nominal species, Kryptolebias ocellatus, which likewise is androdioecious (populations consist of males and hermaphrodites). In contrast, we find no evidence of self-fertilization in Kryptolebias caudomarginatus (an androdioecious species closely related to the marmoratus-ocellatus clade) or in Kryptolebias brasiliensis (a dioecious outgroup). These findings indicate that the initiation of self-fertilization predated the origin of the marmoratus-ocellatus clade. From mitochondrial DNA sequences and microsatellite data, we document a substantial genetic distance between Kryptolebias marmoratus and K. ocellatus, implying that the selfing capacity has persisted in these fishes for at least several hundred thousand years.androdioecy ͉ hermaphroditism ͉ mangrove killifish ͉ mating systems ͉ reproductive modes

Taxonomic composition and zoogeographical aspects of deep sea fishes (90-540m) from the Gulf of California, Mexico. The Gulf of California has a high variety of ecosystems that allow different services and the fishery resources play a prominent role in its ecology, evolution and economics. Fish coastal species have been previously reported for most coastal areas, especially those species that are subject to fishing, however, little is known on the species from deep sea zones, due to sampling difficulties. We studied the deep sea fishes collected with trawl nets during three research surveys in the Gulf of California, Mexico in 2004-2005. We provide a systematic checklist and some notes on biogeographical aspects. For this, 74 fishing hauls were done, and a total of 9 898 fishes were captured, belonging to two classes, 15 orders, 35 families, 53 genera and 70 species. The best represented families in number of species were: Paralichthyidae (eight), Serranidae (six), and Scorpaenidae and Triglidae with five species each one. The typical families from deep waters were: Ophidiidae, Moridae, Lophiidae, Scorpaenidae, Triglidae, Paralichthydae, Pleuronectidae and Cynoglossidae. Size range varied from 13cm for the Splinose searobin (Bellator xenisma) to 234cm in the Pacific Cutlassfish (Trichiurus nitens). The biogeographical affinity showed that species with affinity to the East Tropical Pacific (ETP) dominated, followed by species from San Diego-Panamic, San Diego-Panamic-Peruvian-Chilean and Oregonian-Cortes provinces, respectively. A biogeographic overlap was found in the fauna, which reflects the Gulf of California's geographical position, with distribution limits of species from temperate, tropical and warm-temperature transition affinities, divisions that characterize the Gulf of California. Taxonomic status of fish with a focus on composition, location, characterization and zoogeography are fundamental to any subject of biodiversity and fisheries management actions. Rev. Biol. Trop. 60 (1): 347-360. Epub 2012 March 01.
