Evolutionary and biogeographic patterns of the Badidae (Teleostei: Perciformes) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data

Phylogeny and biogeography of Chinese sisorid catfishes re-examined using mitochondrial cytochrome b and 16S rRNA gene sequences

“…It is assumed that speciation events within this group are linked to historical changes in the geography of their main distribution habitat, which have been severely affected by several uplift events along the Qinhai-Tibetan Plateau. These geological processes have been considered to play a fundamental vicariant role in species of many other vertebrates endemic to this region (Luo et al, 2004;Pang et al, 2003;Rü ber et al, 2004). Thus, we wanted to test whether the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau also facilitated speciation and adaptation process of the sisorids.…”

“…3), river capture and reversal events cannot be ruled out as an additional factor influencing these large-scale changes in drainage patterns (Clark et al, 2004;Hallet and Molnar, 2001). As reviewed by Rü ber et al (2004), the evolution of drainage systems in Asia can be summarized in four stages (Fig. 3, Clark et al, 2004).…”

“…Only a few studies have recognized the potential importance of changes in drainage basin morphology in understanding biogeographic patterns of the South East Asian Ichthyofauna (e.g., Kottelat, 1989;Rü ber et al, 2004). Hora (1952) hypothesized that the glyptostenoids originated in Yunnan of China and radiated due to tectonic uplifting and movements in the region.…”

Phylogeography of the freshwater catfish Hemibagrus guttatus (Siluriformes, Bagridae): Implications for South China biogeography and influence of sea-level changes

“…However, to date, few studies have investigated the genetic structure and biogeography of fishes of this area, in contrast to many more studies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its adjacent regions (e.g. Clark et al, 2004;Rüber et al, 2004;Peng et al, 2006).…”

Preliminary molecular phylogeny and biogeography of the monobasic subfamily Calinaginae (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

“…Liu et al 2002, Mao et al 2010) and animal lineages (e.g. Rüber et al 2004, Zhang et al 2006, Nazari et al 2007, Che et al 2010, Zhao et al 2015 found in the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau. In fact, the evolutionary history of organisms in this region helps elucidate parallel geological and climatic developments, and often aids the recognition of unrecorded geological events.…”
