“…The entire gene sequences for the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2), the partial gene sequences of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) and one nuclear gene c-mos were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers L14910/H16064 (Burbrink et al, 2000), L5238/H5382 (de Queiroz et al, 2002), ND4/Leu (Arèvalo et al, 1994) and S77/S78 (Lawson et al, 2005), respectively. The cycling parameters were identical to those described in above studies.…”

Identification of species in natural populations has recently received increased attention with a number of investigators proposing rigorous methods for species delimitation. Morphologically conservative species (or species complexes) with deep phylogenetic histories (and limited gene flow) are likely to pose particular problems when attempting to delimit species, yet this is crucial to comparative studies of the geography of speciation. We apply two methods of species delimitation to an ancient group of lizards (genus Xantusia) that occur throughout southwestern North America. Mitochondrial cytochrome b and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase subunit 4 gene sequences were generated from samples taken throughout the geographic range of Xantusia. Maximum likelihood, Bayesian, and nested cladogram analyses were used to estimate relationships among haplotypes and to infer evolutionary processes. We found multiple well-supported independent lineages within Xantusia, for which there is considerable discordance with the currently recognized taxonomy. High levels of sequence divergence (21.3%) suggest that the pattern in Xantusia may predate the vicariant events usually hypothesized for the fauna of the Baja California peninsula, and the existence of deeply divergent clades (18.8%-26.9%) elsewhere in the complex indicates the occurrence of ancient sundering events whose genetic signatures were not erased by the late Wisconsin vegetation changes. We present a revised taxonomic arrangement for this genus consistent with the distinct mtDNA lineages and discuss the phylogeographic history of this genus as a model system for studies of speciation in North American deserts.

“…Because Acipenseriformes is a primitive fish group and the evolution of their genes is relatively conservative, the genes mentioned could not provide enough information for phylogenetic analysis [4,5] . In recent years, the use of mtDNA ND4L and ND4 genes for phylogenetic analysis has drawn attention [6,7] . But, no reports on fishes are available.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to seek for new gene(s) for phylogenetic study in the order of Acipenseriformes. More recent studies in other taxa showed that the evolution rate of mtDNA ND4L and ND4 genes is at moderate level, and might be ideal genetic markers for evolutionary study [6,7] . However, no reports on fish were available.…”

Acipenseriformes is an endangered primitive fish group, which occupies a special place in the history of ideas concerning fish evolution, even in vertebrate evolution. However, the classification and evolution of the fishes have been debated. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) ND4L and partial ND4 genes were first sequenced in twelve species of the order Acipenseriformes, including endemic Chinese species. The following points were drawn from DNA sequences analysis: (i) the two species of Huso can be ascribed to Acipenser; (ii) A. dabryanus is the mostly closely related to A. sinensis, and most likely the landlocked form of A. sinensis; (iii) genus Acipenser in trans-Pacific region might have a common origin; (iv) mtDNA ND4L and ND4 genes are the ideal genetic markers for phylogenetic analysis of the order Acipenseriformes.Keywords: Acipenseriformes, mtDNA ND4L, mtDNA ND4, molecular phylogeny, DNA sequencing.Sturgeons and paddlefishes, which belong to the order Acipenseriformes, are the endangered primitive fishes. This group of fishes occupies a special place in the history of ideas concerning fish evolution, even in vertebrate evolution, on the other hand, the populations of sturgeons and paddlefishes worldwide have declined [1] . Though Acipenseriformes has long been regarded as an interesting group in biogeographical and phylogenetic studies since the times of Linnaeus, the classification of the fishes has been controversial. So far, the phylogenetic studies of the group remain in their infancy [2] . There are about 27 extant species worldwide. However, the exact number of species and systematic relationships among different genera and different species are still unknown. Though some data on morphology, cytogenetics and molecular biology have been accumulated, there is still a long way to go to fully understand the phylogenetic relationships.DNA is an honest recorder of evolutionary history of organisms.
