“…They are consistent with the results of the phylogenies proposed by Breden et al (1999), andFigueiredo (1997) for Poecilia and its allies. On the other hand, the phylogenetic hypothesis of Rauchenberger (1989), Rodriguez (1997), and Ghedotti (2000) are partially congruent with the present results.…”

“…Some authors addressed the relationships of smaller groups of the Poeciliinae (e.g. Rosen, 1979;Rauchenberger, 1989;Rosa & Costa, 1993;Rauchenberger et al, 1990;Meyer et al, 1994;Mojica et al, 1997;Rodriguez, 1997;Ptaceck & Breden, 1998;Marcus & McCune, 1999;Breden et al, 1999;Hamilton, 2001;Mateos et al, 2002;Poeser, 2003;Kallmann et al, 2004), whereas others coped with higher taxa (Parenti, 1981;Meyer & Lydeard, 1993;Costa, 1996Costa, , 1998Ghedotti, 2000). However, no phylogenetic study has simultaneously analyzed the relationships among representatives of all poeciliine genera.…”

Osteological and soft anatomical features of representatives of poeciliine genera were studied to test the monophyly of the poeciliine tribes and to advance a hypothesis of relationships within the subfamily. The resultant hypothesis supports the proposal of a new classification for the subfamily Poeciliinae. Diagnoses are provided for suprageneric clades. The tribe Tomeurini is resurrected and the new tribes Brachyrhaphini and Priapichthyini as well as the supertribe Poeciliini are described. New usages of old tribe names are proposed based on the phylogenetic framework.Caracteres osteológicos e da anatomia mole de representantes dos gêneros de poeciliíneos foram estudados para se testar a monofilia das tribos de Poeciliinae e para propor uma hipótese de relações dentro da subfamília. A hipótese resultante suporta a proposição de uma nova classificação para a subfamília Poeciliinae. São fornecidas diagnoses para os clados supragenêricos. A tribo Tomeurini é ressuscitada e as novas tribos Brachyrhaphini e Priapichthyini bem como a supertribo Poeciliini são descritas. Novos usos para antigos nomes de tribos são propostos com base no arranjo filogenético.

Interspecies hybrids between distinct species of the genus Xiphophorus are often used in varied research investigations to identify genomic regions associated with the inheritance of complex traits. There are 24 described Xiphophorus species and a greater number of pedigreed strains; thus, the number of potential interspecies hybrid cross combinations is quite large. Previously, select Xiphophorus experimental crosses have been shown to exhibit differing characteristics between parental species and among the hybrid fishes derived from crossing them, such as widely differing susceptibilities to chemical or physical agents. For instance, genomic regions harboring tumor suppressor and oncogenes have been identified via linkage association of these loci with a small set of established genetic markers. The power of this experimental strategy is related to the number of genetic markers available in the Xiphophorus interspecies cross of interest. Thus, we have undertaken the task of expanding the suite of easily scored markers by characterization of Xiphophorus microsatellite sequences. Using a cross between Xiphophorus maculatus and X. andersi, we report a linkage map predominantly composed of microsatellite markers. All 24 acrocentric chromosome sets of Xiphophorus are represented in the assembled linkage map with an average intergenomic distance of 7.5 cM. Since both male and female F 1 hybrids were used to produce backcross progeny, these recombination rates were compared between "male" and "female" maps. Although several genomic regions exhibit differences in map length, male-and female-derived maps are similar. Thus Xiphophorus, in contrast to zebrafish, Danio rerio, and several other vertebrate species, does not show sex-specific differences in recombination. The microsatellite markers we report can be easily adapted to any Xiphophorus interspecies and some intraspecies crosses, and thus provide a means to directly compare results derived from independent experiments.

“…Furthermore, when mtDNA substitution rates are homogeneous across lineages and time, the relative chronology of diversification events may also be estimated from genetic distance data and be compared to known dates of geological events (e.g., Sivasundar et al 2001). In particular, cyt b has been useful in resolving phylogenetic relationships among Actinopterygian fish (reviewed by Lydeard and Roe 1997) and ND2 has been used for solving relationships among cichlids (Kocher et al 1995), cyprinids (Broughton and Gold 2000), and other Poeciliids (Ptacek and Breden 1998;Breden et al 1999;Hamilton 2001).…”

Historical Biogeography of the Livebearing Fish Genus Poeciliopsis (Poeciliidae: Cyprinodontiformes)

Abstract. To assess the historical biogeography of freshwater topminnows in the genus Poeciliopsis, we examined sequence variation in two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome b (1140 bp) and NADH subunit 2 (1047 bp). This widespread fish genus is distributed from Arizona to western Colombia, and nearly half of its 21 named species have distributions that border on the geologically active Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), a region that defines the uplifted plateau (Mesa Central) of Mexico. We used the parametric bootstrap method to test the hypothesis that a single vicariant event associated with the TMVB was responsible for divergence of taxa found to the north and south of this boundary. Because the single-event hypothesis was rejected as highly unlikely, we hypothesize that at least two geological events were responsible for divergence of these species. The first (8-16 million years ago) separated ancestral populations that were distributed across the present TMVB region. A second event (2.8-6.4 million years ago) was associated with northward dispersal and subsequent vicariance of two independent southern lineages across the TMVB. The geological history of this tectonically and volcanically active region is discussed and systematic implications for the genus are outlined.
