Additionally, our study employed a smaller number of molecular markers, and we used different sequences and samples compared to those utilized by those authors.…”

The Neotropical region stands out as one of the most taxonomically diverse areas on the planet, garnering significant attention in the context of marine incursions and their role in shaping this diversity. Among marine-derived taxa, pleuronectiform fishes exhibit distinctive morphological characteristics that have attracted significant scientific interest. However, the biogeography ofHypoclinemus mentalis, initially described asSolea mentalisand subsequently assigned to the genusAchirus, was eventually reclassified into its current monotypic genus due to its limited distribution in freshwater environments, in contrast to the species ofAchirus. The broad distribution of a single species across multiple South American river basins positionsH. mentalisas an ideal candidate for biogeographic studies within South America, with an emphasis on the detection of cryptic lineages associated with major drainage basins. In our study, we employed mitochondrial and nuclear markers to investigate the potential existence of such lineages within the broader context of a molecular phylogeny that encompasses all valid genera in the flatfish family Achiridae. Our findings reveal thatHypoclinemuscomprises seven operational taxonomic units (OTUs), as deduced from specimens collected across the majority of its documented range. Furthermore, our phylogeographic analyses support the hypothesis that colonization of freshwater habitats occurred through connections between the Caribbean Sea and Lake Pebas approximately 21.28 million years ago. Moreover, we observed that differentiation of lineages within theHypoclinemusgenus was significantly influenced by pronounced sea level fluctuations during the Plio-Pleistocene epoch, underscoring the impact of glaciations and interglacial periods on the biogeographic patterns.

“…Several species are freshwater endemics. Other species migrate between freshwater and marine habitats (anadromy or catadromy), or migrate into the water column in the open ocean (oceanodromy) (Gibson 2008, Bitencourt et al 2023. Of the more than 800 recognized flatfish species, many are economically important to global fisheries (e.g.…”

“…We found South American achirids were under particularly strong purifying selection. This result may be due to the small number of exclusively freshwater species included (n=6), the incomplete sequence data available for these species, or the fact that achirid species are recently diverged (Bitencourt et al 2023) and therefore may not have accumulated substantial variation in RH1.…”

Visual signals are involved in many fitness-related tasks and are therefore essential for survival in many species. Aquatic organisms are ideal systems to study visual evolution, as the high diversity of spectral properties in aquatic environments generates great potential for adaptation to different light conditions. Flatfishes are an economically important group, with over 800 described species distributed globally, including halibut, flounder, sole and turbot. The diversity of flatfish species and wide array of environments they occupy provides an excellent opportunity to understand how this variation translates to molecular adaptation of vision genes. Using models of molecular evolution, we investigated how the light environments inhabited by different flatfish lineages have shaped evolution in the rhodopsin gene, which is responsible for mediating dim-light visual transduction. We found strong evidence for positive selection in rhodopsin, and this was correlated with both migratory behaviour and several fundamental aspects of habitat, including depth and freshwater/marine evolutionary transitions. We also identified several mutations that likely affect the wavelength of peak absorbance of rhodopsin, and outline how these shifts in absorbance correlate with response to the light spectrum present in different habitats. This is the first study of rhodopsin evolution in flatfishes that considers their extensive diversity, and our results highlight how ecologically-driven molecular adaptation has occurred across this group in response to transitions to novel light environments.
