“…The rag2 gene is highly conserved among ariids, resulting in poorly resolved clades. As was expected from previous studies (Diogo, 2005;Sullivan et al, 2006), the anchariid genus Gogo was recovered sister to the Ariidae. MP and BI reconstructions confirm the subfamilial divisions as well as the monophyly of most New World genera and the Indo-Pacific group.…”

“…Monophyly of the Ariidae is well-supported on morphological (Kailola, 2004;Diogo, 2005) and molecular (Betancur-R., 2003;Hardman, 2005;Sullivan et al, 2006) grounds (see also Acero P. and Betancur-R., 2007). A number of works have attempted to resolve relationships among catfish families.…”

“…The order Silurif ormes includes 37 recognized families of catfishes widely distributed and diverse in freshwaters (Sullivan et al, 2006). Only two families are predominantly mar-ine: the Plotosidae, from the Indo-west Pacific, and the Ariidae.…”

“…Most recent studies using anatomical (Diogo, 2005) and molecular (Sullivan et al, 2006) data suggest that the Ariidae is the sister group to the Malagasy family Anchariidae. Ariids and anchariids have been placed in the superfamily Arioidea within the suborder Siluroidei (Sullivan et al, 2006), but there is still no consensus regarding the relationships of the arioid clade to other siluroid groups (see also Acero P. and Betancur-R., 2007). Kailola (2004) has made a pioneering contribution to the reconstruction of intrafamilial relationships of ariids.…”

“…Nonetheless, some members of the Ariidae have secondarily colonized freshwater habitats, so that Ariidae inhabit the coastal waters and near‐coastal rivers and lakes of most tropical and subtropical regions worldwide (Sullivan et al. 2006). The evolutionary history of Ariidae has been relatively well traced in tropical America, as some structures such as the lapillus (largest ear stones in Ariidae), spines, and partial skulls preserve rather well in the fossil record.…”

Transitions between the marine and freshwater macrohabitat have occurred repeatedly in the evolution of teleost fishes. For example, ariid catfishes have moved from freshwater to marine environments, and vice versa. Opercles, a skeletal feature that has been shown to change during such transitions, were subjected to 2D geometric morphometric analyses in order to investigate evolutionary shape changes during habitat transition in ariid catfishes and to test the influence of habitat on shape changes. A mtDNA marker, which proved useful in previous studies, was used to verify species identities. It greatly improved the assignment of specimens to a species, which are difficult to assign by morphology alone. The application of a mtDNA marker confirmed the occurrence of Notarius biffi in Central America, South of El Salvador. Molecular identification together with principal component analysis (PCA) and further morphological inspection of neurocrania indicated the existence of a cryptic species within Bagre pinnimaculatus. Principal component (PC) scores of individual specimens clustered in morphospace by genus rather than by habitat. Strong phylogenetic structure was detected using a permutation test of PC scores of species means on a phylogenetic tree. Calculation of Pagel's λ suggested that opercle shape evolved according to a Brownian model of evolution. Yet canonical variate analysis (CVA) conducted on the habitat groups showed significant differences in opercle shapes among freshwater and marine species. Overall, opercle shape in tropical American Ariidae appears to be phylogenetically constrained. This verifies the application of opercle shape as a taxonomic tool for species identification in fossil ariid catfishes. At the same time, adaptation to freshwater habitats shows characteristic opercle shape trajectories in ariid catfishes, which might be used to detect habitat preferences in fossils.
