“…For instance, NJ, MP, and ML did not verify bootstrap or Bremer support for separating both groups. A similarly low resolution was found in a previous phylogeny for the North American Rhagoletis with the same sequence, which only included two Neotropical species (Smith & Bush 1997). Using the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, , also found low resolution for the position of the Neotropical species therein (R. striatella and R. conversa).…”

“…Using the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, , also found low resolution for the position of the Neotropical species therein (R. striatella and R. conversa). As mentioned by Smith & Bush (1997), mitochondrial COII data seems insuffi cient to resolve these distant relationships. Nevertheless, the present analysis, with the inclusion of the other six Neotropical Rhagoletis species, was able to establish relationships between the Neotropical Rhagoletis groups.…”

“…The lower limit of confi dence of this estimation is about the time of the emergence of a continuous landbridge between Central and South América, which occurred in the Pliocene about 3.5 Mya (Keigwin 1982). Considering that North American species, including the striatella group, possess more derived morphological features with respect to homologous structure in the Neotropical taxa (Bush 1966, Smith & Bush 1997, diversification of North American Rhagoletis species presumably occurred from a northern colonization/dispersion of a southern taxa throughout the existing land connection. Given that the only Neotropical taxon having an affi nity with North American species was R. striatella, it is likely that one extinct dispersing taxon from striatella group was the ancestor of North American groups.…”

“…We examined available COII sequences from sixteen species and obtained new sequences for two more species (Table 1). The outgroup species Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) was chosen on its taxonomic position within the Tephritidae (Smith & Bush 1997. New sequences for R. nova and R. tomatis were obtained by isolating DNA and following an optimized protocol for alcohol-preservation of individual flies .…”

Neotropical Entomology 37(6): 651-661 (2008) Análisis Filogeográfi co de Rhagoletis Neotropicales (Diptera: Tephritidae): ¿ha Contribuido el Levantamiento de los Andes a Explicar las Actuales Diferencias Morfológicas?RESUMEN -Las especies de Rhagoletis neotropicales han sido agrupadas en cuatro grupos: nova, psalida, striatella y ferruginea, constituyendo 18 especies. Se han descrito diferencias morfológicas entre estas especies a ambos lados de la cordillera de los Andes que podrían relacionarse con el proceso de levantamiento cordillerano. En este trabajo se evalúa esta hipótesis usando análisis fi logenético de atributos morfológicos y moleculares. Los resultados muestran que: a) las especies Neotropicales de Rhagoletis constituyen un grupo separado de las especies Palearticas y Norteamericanas, con la excepción de un miembro del grupo striatella el cual presenta cierta asociación con las especies Norteamericanas; 2) Las especies Neotropicales parece conformar un clado monofi lético; 3) La separación de los grupos Sudamericanos de otros grupos fue estimada en 4.333 millones de años antes del presente, proceso anterior a la emergencia del puente de tierra entre América Central y Sudamérica; 4) Dentro de las especies con distribución Sudamericana, los caracteres morfológicos y moleculares coinciden en ubicar algunas especies del grupo ferruginea separadas de especies de Rhagoletis Neotropicales. 5) La separación del grupo ferruginea fue estimada en 3.882 millones de años antes del presente, evento que precede al último levantamiento de los Andes. La diversifi cación de los grupos ferruginea, psalida y nova a uno y otro lado de la cordillera de los Andes parece responder inicialmente a un proceso vicariante y posteriores eventos de dispersión y aislamiento. Estos resultados sugieren que el levantamiento de los Andes habría participado en los patrones de diversifi cación de las Rhagoletis Neotropicales.PALABRAS CLAVE: Mosca de la fruta, diversifi cación, fi logenia, Sudamérica ABSTRACT -Neotropical Rhagoletis species are arranged in four groups: nova, psalida, striatella and ferruginea, which include 18 species. On both sides of the Andes, the evolution of morphological differences among these groups has been suggested to be related to the Andes uplift process. In order to test this hypothesis, a phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular data was performed. The results suggest that: 1) Neotropical species of Rhagoletis constitute a separate group from Paleartic and North American species, with the only exception being a member of the striatella group having a certain association with the northern species. 2) Neotropical species seem to form a monophyletic clade, although statistical support for this is weak.3) The split of South American Rhagoletis from other groups was dated at 4.333 million years ago, which is before the emergence of a continuous landbridge between Central and South América. 4) Within species distributed in South América, morphological and molecular data were coincident, placing s...

“…Such NC regions also show high AT-bias, high length variability and are able to form stem-loop structures as observed even in regions close to COI, COII or tRNALeu(UUR) genes (Smith and Bush, 1997;De La Rua et al, 2000;Shao et al, 2001;Soucy and Danforth, 2002;Dowton et al, 2003;Yamauchi et al, 2003). They might have a role in transcription in addition to that of the mt control region (see Valverde et al, 1994b;Roberti et al, 2003).…”

Mitochondrial (mt) sequences from cytochrome oxidase subunit I to the subunit II gene (COI, COII) were analysed in crustacean talitrid amphipods. Species of the genera Orchestia, Talitrus and Talorchestia from the MediterraneanEast Atlantic area were examined. The expected tRNALeu-UUR gene was not revealed between COI and COII. Instead, a short (35-48 bp) noncoding (NC) AT-rich (ca. 90%) region with putative stem loops was found. Here, we discuss briefly the NC region and explore its potential involvement in generating this novel rearrangement. The COI-NC-COII organization, as well as preliminary phylogenetic results, based on both COI-COII nucleotide and amino-acid sequence indicate monophyly of these talitrid taxa. Heredity (2005) 94, 81-86.
