Molecular phylogeny of Potamotrygonocotyle (Monogenea, Monocotylidae) challenges the validity of some of its species

Abstract: Molecular phylogeny of Potamotrygonocotyle (Monogenea, Monocotylidae) challenges the validity of some of its species. -Zoologica Scripta, 40, 638-658. The marine-derived stingrays Potamotrygonidae are the only chondrichthyans landlocked to freshwaters of Central and South America. The family includes approximately 22 described species organized in four genera widely distributed across the main Atlantic and Caribbean continental drainages. Investigations into the parasite fauna of potamotrygonids have mainly fo… Show more

“…The results suggested that there was no autapomorphic character that would sustain the maintenance of some nominal species as valid. Fehlauer-Ale & Littlewood (2011) conducted a molecular cladistic analysis on some species of Potamotrygonocotyle and discovered the existence of cryptic lineages, suggesting that the diversity of the genus may be underestimated.…”

“…Molecular techniques have been used to support taxonomic and morphological descriptions of monogeneans, and provide ways of performing phylogenetic analysis based on different markers (e.g. 18S, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S rDNA regions of the rDNA gene, and cytochrome c oxidase (COI) and 16S mitochondrial genes) (Plaisance et al , 2005; Simková et al , 2006; Wu et al , 2006, 2007, 2008; Fehlauer-Ale & Littlewood, 2011; Hahn et al , 2011; Gilmore et al , 2012; Sarabeev & Desdevises, 2014; Mendoza-Palmero et al , 2015), and a means of elucidating the relationship between parasite species, their hosts and the relationship between them (Poulin, 2002; Braga et al , 2014).…”
