“…Our results also provide support for a sister-group relationship between Micropoecilia and Acanthophacelus and corroborate previous morphological (Lucinda and Reis, 2005) and molecular (Breden et al, 1999;Hamilton, 2001;Hrbek et al, 2007) studies that have supported this hypothesis. In addition, our results confirm Poeser et al's (2005) hypothesis that Poecilia wingei, which was described after Rosen and Bailey's (1963) publication, is the sister taxon to Poecilia reticulata.…”

“…Finally, our results are consistent with a clade comprising Limia, Mollienesia, and Pamphorichthys as in Hamilton (2001) and Hrbek et al (2007). However, we interpret this result with caution given our incomplete taxonomic sampling for these lineages.…”

“…Poeciliids are characterized by the presence of a gonopodium that is formed by modified anal-fin rays 3, 4, and 5 (Lucinda and Reis, 2005). Members of the group are frequently used as model organisms for experimental studies on natural and sexual selection (Endler, 1983;Houde, 1997;Schluter et al, 1998;Hamilton, 2001), and comparative studies of life-history evolution that have demonstrated multiple origins of superfetation and placentotrophy Wourms, 1991, 1994;Arias and Reznick, 2000;Reznick et al, 2002Reznick et al, , 2007. Most recently, placentotrophy was reported in all populations of P. parae, P. bifurca and P. branneri that were investigated (Pires, 2007;Pires et al, in press).…”

“…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.

“…Available phylogenetic hypotheses, whether molecular or morphological, have concentrated on single genera or subgenera (Rosen, 1979;Rauchenberger, 1989;Rauchenberger et al, 1990;Meyer et al, 1994;Lydeard et al, 1995;Mojica et al, 1997;Rodriguez, 1997;Ptacek and Breden, 1998;Hamilton, 2001;Mateos et al, 2002;Lucinda and Reis, 2005), or have investigated a limited number of poeciliid fishes within the context of higher level phylogenetic relationships (Ghedotti, 2000). The implicit phylogenetic hypothesis (Parenti and Rauchenberger, 1989) and Fig.…”

Phylogenetic relationships of members of the subfamily Poeciliinae (Cyprinodontiformes) are investigated to test alternate hypotheses of diversification resulting from the assembly of the Central America and the Caribbean from the Cretaceous period onwards. We use 4333 aligned base pairs of mitochondrial DNA and 1549 aligned base pairs of nuclear DNA from 55 samples representing 48 ingroup and seven outgroup species to test this hypothesis. Mitochondrial genes analyzed include those encoding the 12S and 16S ribosomal RNAs; transfer RNAs coding for valine, leucine, isoleucine, glutamine, methionine, tryptophan, alanine, asparagine, cysteine and tyrosine; and complete cytochrome b and NADH dehydrogenase subunit I and II; nuclear gene analyzed included the third exon of the recombination activation gene 1 (RAG1). Analyses of combined mtDNA and nuclear DNA data sets result in a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis. This hypothesis is in conflict with the classical taxonomic assignment of genera into tribes and phylogenetic hypotheses based on the taxonomy; however, the molecular hypothesis defines nine clades that are geographically restricted and consistent with the geological evolution of Central America and the Caribbean. Our analyses support multiple colonization events of Middle America followed by a mix of vicariance and dispersal events.
