“…Our study of ND3-ND4 sequence variation (direct survey) clearly indicates that this is not the case, and joins a growing list of studies documenting congruent phylogenetic signals ( D histories) among diVerent mitochondrial (e.g., cytochrome b, 12S rRNA, and 16S rRNA) and nuclear (e.g., RAG2) markers not only in vampyressines but in other groups of bats as well (e.g., Baker et al, 2000Baker et al, , 2003Van Den Bussche, 2001, 2003;Lewis-Oritt et al, 2001;Van Den Bussche and Weyandt, 2003;. Also, all mitochondrial genes are linked and should have identical phylogenetic histories (Brown, 1985;Wiens, 1998).…”

“…Pteronotus parnellii was described from Jamaica [31] but is widely distributed in Mexico, Central America, the Antilles, the Guyana Shield and the Amazon [31]. Molecular analysis has revealed substantial sequence divergence at mitochondrial loci [8,25,38,39] though, to date, no multi-gene analysis of this variation has been conducted.…”

Diversification and reproductive isolation: cryptic species in the only New World high-duty cycle bat, Pteronotus parnellii

Background: Molecular techniques are increasingly employed to recognize the presence of cryptic species, even among commonly observed taxa. Previous studies have demonstrated that bats using high-duty cycle echolocation may be more likely to speciate quickly. Pteronotus parnellii is a widespread Neotropical bat and the only New World species to use high-duty cycle echolocation, a trait otherwise restricted to Old World taxa. Here we analyze morphological and acoustic variation and genetic divergence at the mitochondrial COI gene, the 7 th intron region of the y-linked Dby gene and the nuclear recombination-activating gene 2, and provide extensive evidence that P. parnellii is actually a cryptic species complex. Results: Central American populations form a single species while three additional species exist in northern South America: one in Venezuela, Trinidad and western Guyana and two occupying sympatric ranges in Guyana and Suriname. Reproductive isolation appears nearly complete (only one potential hybrid individual found). The complex likely arose within the last~6 million years with all taxa diverging quickly within the last~1-2 million years, following a pattern consistent with the geological history of Central and northern South America. Significant variation in cranial measures and forearm length exists between three of the four groups, although no individual morphological character can discriminate these in the field. Acoustic analysis reveals small differences (5-10 kHz) in echolocation calls between allopatric cryptic taxa that are unlikely to provide access to different prey resources but are consistent with divergence by drift in allopatric species or through selection for social recognition. Conclusions: This unique approach, considering morphological, acoustic and multi-locus genetic information inherited maternally, paternally and bi-parentally, provides strong support to conclusions about the cessation of gene flow and degree of reproductive isolation of these cryptic species.

“…The RAG2 gene encodes components of the recombinase involved in recombination of immunoglobin and T-cell receptor genes and appears as conserved single copies in all examined vertebrates (Hansen and Kaattari, 1996;Willett et al, 1997). The RAG2 gene has been widely used to evaluate intrageneric and intraspeciWc relationships (Baker et al, 2000;Clements et al, 2004;Hardman, 2004;Lewis-Oritt et al, 2001;Lovejoy and Collette, 2001), and it is also used to reveal higher-level phylogenetic relationships (Brinkmann et al, 2004;Calcagnotto et al, 2005). Although the considerable morphological variability of East Asian cyprinids represents a challenge to phylogenetic analyses based on morphology, we included representative species from all hypothesized subfamilies (Chen, 1998) in our present molecular analysis.…”
