The genetic legacy of lower sea levels: does the confluence of rivers during the last glacial maximum explain the contemporary distribution of a primary freshwater fish (Pseudobarbus burchelli, Cyprinidae) across isolated river systems?

The primary freshwater fish Pseudobarbus burchelli (Smith 1841) occurs across four presently isolated river systems in the south-western cape floristic region of South Africa. Mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b (701 base pairs) and control region (601 base pairs) genes were sequenced to assess the evolutionary history of P. burchelli and evaluate the role of climatic and landscape changes in shaping patterns of genetic variation in this species. We identified three historically isolated lineages in P. burchelli: a widespread lineage that occurs across three isolated river systems and two geographically restricted lineages. The results were evaluated against predictions of the confluence of river systems during low sea levels of the last glacial maximum. Occurrence of the widespread Breede lineage in the Duiwenhoks River system is consistent with reconstructed palaeoriver systems. However, the occurrence of this lineage in the Goukou river system that formed part of the eastern Gourits-Goukou palaeoriver system can only be explained by translocation or a recent river capture or episodic inundation of low drainage divides. Extreme ecological gradients or the potential presence of instream physical barriers could have prevented an exchange of lineages between the Breede and Heuningnes river systems.

“…On the other hand, drainage rearrangement has been extensively proposed as a general geomorphologic mechanism of translocation of freshwater fish in other regions of the world (Bishop, 1995;Waters et al, 2001;Burridge et al, 2006;Craw et al, 2007). Furthermore, Ribeiro (2006) proposed that drainage rearrangement would be the general geomorphological process of transport of fishes from rivers of the Brazilian shield to the Atlantic coastal drainage areas of South America (Ribeiro, 2006).…”

A new species of Austrolebias Costa (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) from northeastern Uruguay, with comments on distribution patterns

A new species of Austrolebias is described based on individuals from the middle and upper río Negro (río Uruguay basin) and río Yaguarón (Patos-Merín system). The new species can be differentiated from all other species of the genus by the unique presence in males of uniform bluish gray pigmentation on flanks (without vertical bands) and unpaired fins. The new species is also distinguished by the combination of characters associated with a reduction of the squamation of the abdominal, preopercular, and opercular regions. The new species presents some morphological characteristics similar to A. gymnoventris and A. luteoflammulatus. The distribution of the new species is concordant with three other species of Austrolebias and may represent a case of drainage rearrangement of the río Negro upstream tributaries (río Uruguay basin) and tributaries of laguna Merín system. Uma espécie nova de Austrolebias é descrita, com base em indivíduos do alto e médio rio Negro (bacia do rio Uruguai) e rio Jaguarão (sistema Patos-Mirim). A espécie nova pode ser distinguida de todas as demais do gênero pela presença única em machos de pigmentação uniforme cinza azulado nos flancos sem listras verticais, e a pigmentação uniforme das nadadeiras ímpares. Também pode ser reconhecida pela combinação de caracteres associados à redução do padrão de escamas na região abdominal, pré-opérculo e opérculo. A espécie nova apresenta várias características semelhantes a A. gymnoventris e a A. luteoflammulatus. A distribução da espécie nova é concordante com outras três espécies de Austrolebias, representando um caso potencial de captura da bacia dos afluentes superiores do rio Negro (bacia do rio Uruguai) aos afluentes da lagoa Mirim.

“…One process of drainage evolution, river capture, refers to the displacement of stream sections between adjacent catchments (Bishop, 1995), and has been demonstrated to be an important driver in shaping geographic distributions of genetic variation for freshwater fishes (e.g., Burridge et al, 2007;Schönhuth et al, 2011). Another historical process, Pleistocene climatic oscillation, has been revealed to be a major factor in driving the formation of genetic divergence for freshwater fishes (Bernatchez and Wilson, 1998;Gao et al, 2012;Seifertová et al, 2012).…”

The Amur sleeper Perccottus glenii (Perciformes, Gobioidei, Odontobutidae) is well known as an invasive fish in the river basins of Eastern and Central Europe, but its genetic background is unavailable across its native habitats in northeast Asia. In this study, we used the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene by sampling 19 populations of P. glenii across its native distributional areas of Liaohe and Amur River basins to explore its evolutionary history. Phylogenetic analyses identified three major clades within P. glenii, among which Clade A and Clade B were co-distributed in the Liaohe and Amur River basins, and Clade C was restricted to the latter. Molecular dating showed that the splits of Clades A, B and C have happened in the late Early-early Middle Pleistocene and the most recent common ancestors of these clades have been presented in the late Middle-early Late Pleistocene. The P. glenii showed very high levels of genetic structure among populations (ΦST = 0.801), probably due to the characters of its life histories with very limited dispersal ability. The admixture of different clades in some populations of P. glenii probably reflects historical secondary contact. These findings indicate that Pleistocene climatic oscillation and river capture were major determinants for genetic variations and evolutionary history of the P. glenii.
