“…Our alternative phylogenetic analyses (unlinked clock and substitution models, no monophyly constraints; see Appendix S3) exhibited poor convergence and did not consistently recover North American minnows as monophyletic to the exclusion of Eurasian leuciscins, which has been reported previously (Coburn and Cavender, 1992;Cunha et al, 2002;Rüber et al, 2007;Sasaki et al, 2007;Mayden, 2010a, 2010b;Saitoh et al, 2011;Imoto et al, 2012).…”

Body size is one of the most important traits influencing an organism's ecology and a major axis of evolutionary change. We examined body size disparification in the highly speciose North American minnows (Cyprinidae), which exhibit diverse body sizes and ecologies, including the giant piscivorous pikeminnows. We estimated a novel phylogeny for 285 species based on a supermatrix alignment of seven mitochondrial and ten nuclear genes, and used this to reconstruct ancestral body sizes (log-total length) and ancestral area. Additionally, given that fishes inhabiting Pacific drainages have historically been subjected to frequent local extinctions due to periodic flooding, droughts, and low drainage connectivity, we also compared body size disparification between the highly speciose Atlantic drainages and comparatively depauperate Pacific drainages. We found that dispersal between Atlantic and Pacific drainages has been infrequent and generally occurred in minnows with southerly distributions, where drainage systems are younger and less stable. The long isolation between Atlantic and Pacific drainages has allowed for divergent patterns of morphological disparification; we found higher rates of body size disparification in minnows from the environmentally harsher Pacific drainages. We propose several possible explanations for the observed patterns of size disparification in the context of habitat stability, niche space, and species diversification.

“…A number of other species (e.g., Pentinu, ticto and Barbus trimaculatus on the mitochondrial protein sequence tree and Cyrinella lutrensis and Hemigrammocypris rasborella on the RAG2 tree) were also shown as a polytomy. This indicates that the phylogenetic relationships among many cyprinid freshwater fishes remain unresolved (Sasaki et al, 2007). In addition, at the subfamily level there might be other cyprinid species which cannot be properly placed.…”

“…Classifying cyprinid freshwater species at the subfamily level remains challenging, because of the lack of homologous morphological characters that can be used for appropriate classification (Saitoh et al, 2006;Sasaki et al, 2007). The grass carp is a such example.…”

“…Saitoh et al, 2006;Yamanoue et al, 2007), and a significant amount of sequence data is available in GenBank and other DNA databases, these genes are very useful and convenient markers to clarify the evolutionary history of fishes at various phylogenetic levels (e.g. Sasaki et al, 2006;Kuriiwa et al, 2007;Pérez et al, 2007;Timm et al, 2008). Most recent studies have focused on resolving phylogeny conflicts at a higher taxonomic level mostly by adding characters rather than taxa, and this has not improved our understanding of lower taxonomic level relationships.…”

Sparid fishes consist of approximately 115 species in 33 genera that are broadly distributed in tropical and temperate coastal waters. Although several phylogenetic analyses were conducted based on specific molecular markers, their classification remains unresolved. Here, we present the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the family Sparidae to date, based on cytochrome b (cyt-b) genes. We determined 18 sequences of sparids and conducted phylogenetic analyses among 72 individuals representing 66 sparids with 23 outgroup species. Phylogenetic trees were constructed according to partitioned Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian methods. The phylogenetic analyses were conducted on two different data sets (including all positions; RY-coding). The phylogenetic trees showed monophyly of the family Sparidae with a different taxon, centracanthid Spicara. The subfamilies in the Sparidae in all trees are non-monophyletic and do not agree with current classification of the subfamilies. The genera Acanthopagrus, Cheimerius, Dentex, Diplodus, Pagellus, Pagrus, and Spicara are also non-monophyletic and their classifications should be revised based on the phylogenetic relationships and reinvestigation of morphological characters. The sparids are divided into three major clades, A, B and C, respectively in the ML tree based on all codon positions, whereas clade C was paraphyletic in the other trees. The species in clade C are known to be present in the eastern Pacific to western Atlantic, whereas those in clades A and B are distributed in various oceanic regions. Some sub-clades in clades A and B consist of species that are distributed in defined local regions. We further investigated evolutionary patterns of 87 morphological characters by ancestral character-state reconstruction according to the parsimony criteria. The results suggested high evolutionary plasticity of the characters in sparids, indicating that it causes species-diversity and taxonomic confusion at various taxonomic levels, and that such convergent evolution may occur more frequently also in other coastal fishes.
