“…Similar differentiation of Tamsui River populations is also found in some cyprinids (Wang HY et al, 1999;Wang JP et al, 2004). The completely allopatric distribution of the haplotype of the Tamsui River population from those of other populations suggests their past fragmentation and long-term isolation, as detected by NCPA.…”

“…2) and the Holong River (Rs. 3) are located north of the Miaoli Plateau, which has been emphasized as a dispersal barrier for freshwater fi shes based on faunal similarity (Tzeng, 1986) and phylogeographic analyses (Wang HY et al, 1999;Wang JP et al, 2004). The Miaoli Plateau is estimated to have formed 0.15 million years (Myr) ago (see Tzeng, 1986).…”

“…The island's fauna is diverse and complicated as a result of its geographical history, with repeated isolation from and connection to the continent, and because of the topographical, climatic, and ecological diversity of the island. Several phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies were recently conducted on mammals (Yu and Peng, 2002), reptiles (Creer et al, 2001), amphibians (Yang et al, 1994), and fi shes (Wang et al, 2000(Wang et al, , 2004, and scenarios were proposed for the origin and formation of the fauna of Taiwan.…”

Comparative phylogeography of bagrid catfishes in Taiwan

et al. 2007

A phylogeographic analysis of two bagrid catfi shes in Taiwan was conducted using sequence data from a portion of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. For Pseudobagrus brevianalis, which is most probably endemic to Taiwan, a total of eight haplotypes were detected in 189 specimens from nine river systems covering its entire distribution range, from northern to central western areas of the island. Obvious genetic differentiation was observed among its populations (average F ST = 0.753); in particular, the northernmost Tamsui River population was fi xed for a single endemic haplotype. Nested clade phylogeographic analysis (NCPA) indicated that the dispersal center of mtDNA was the area around the Touchien River and Holong River, north to the Miaoli Plateau, in northwestern Taiwan, suggesting both northward and southward dispersal in this species. There was no evidence for the validity of P. taiwanensis, the nominal species described from Taiwan, morphologically similar to P. brevianalis. We confi rmed that P. adiposalis was distributed discontinuously in three river systems; analysis of 42 specimens from the rivers indicated a total of four haplotypes and population differentiation (average F ST = 0.876). Fixation into a largely differentiated haplotype in the northernmost Tamsui River population was also found in this species, but different processes for this phylogeographic pattern were implied for the two species. Comparison with P. ussuriensis, a widespread continental species morphologically similar to P. adiposalis, suggested the possibility that P. adiposalis is a group of local populations of P. ussuriensis in Taiwan. Two migration routes vs. random fi xation scenarios for the population structure of P. adiposalis are discussed with information on other fi shes and the geological history of the island.

“…Similar phenomena were also found in the phylogeographic studies of many other freshwater fishes and other organisms in the drainages of Taiwan or on both sides of the Taiwan Strait (e.g. Wang et al, 2004;Watanabe et al, 2007). The transgression of the South China Sea during several inter-ice ages might have led to the colonization and divergence of some fishes or fish populations in the coastal rivers and streams of South China.…”

“…In recent studies of species differentiation it has become common to use a phylogenetic approach to integrate information on genetic and morphological differentiation and geographical distribution patterns, so as to establish a more robust hypothesis of their relationships (Avise et al, 1987;McKay & Miller, 1991;Dimmick & Lawson, 1991;Carmona et al, 2000;Pouyaud et al, 2000;Morris et al, 2001;Bonilla et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2004;Strecker et al, 2004;Salzburger et al, 2005). For example, Carmona et al (2000) studied Chondrostoma lemmingii, a cyprinid endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, using genetic criteria (allozymes and cytochrome c) and determined that the phenetic and phylogenetic relationships found supported the hypothesis that the process of differentiation between their populations was due to several vicariant events including endorheism and hydrological isolation of the drainages studied.…”

We conducted a phylogeographic analysis of the genus Gephyrocharaxin Venezuela to evaluate geomorphologic evidence for the formation of the country's main watersheds and to establish a biogeographical hypothesis of possible diversification mechanisms of the Neotropical freshwater fish fauna. We assayed eight enzyme systems and general proteins to estimate genetic variability (H, P), intraspecific structuring in several Gephyrocharax valencia and G. venezuelae populations (FIS, FIT, and FST), and a phylogenetic approach for the three species of Gephyrocharax in Venezuela, using Corynopoma riisei as the external group. Fourteen presumptive lociindicate that populations of the three species of Gephyrocharaxanalyzed show a clear genetic inter-specific differentiation, determined by four loci with fixed alleles (GPI-B*,IDH*, ME-1*, and ME-2*). The resulting cladogram shows two major clades: a monophyletic group consisting of Gephyrocharax n. sp. and G. venezuelae(restricted to the northwest of the country) and a group formed exclusively by G. valencia (distributed along the largest geographic range). Speciation of the Venezuelan lineages of the genus Gephyrocharaxcould be explained by the origin and course movements of the present Orinoco River together with geomorphologic processes that have occurred in northern Venezuela since the Miocene.
