Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular phylogeny of the groupers of the subfamily Epinephelinae (Serranidae) with a revised classification of the Epinephelini
TL;DR: A revised classification of the tribe Epinephelini is proposed that reflects the hypothesized shared ancestry of the group and recognizes 11 genera: Alphestes, Cephalopholis, Dermatolepis, Epinephelus, Gonioplectrus, Hyporthodus, Mycteroperca, Plectropomus, Saloptia, Triso, and Variola.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent invasion of the tropical Atlantic by an Indo-Pacific coral reef fish.
Luiz A. Rocha,D. Ross Robertson,Claudia R. Rocha,James L. Van Tassell,Matthew T. Craig,Brian W. Bowen +5 more
TL;DR: Coalescence and phylogenetic analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences demonstrate that Gnatholepis invaded the Atlantic during an interglacial period ∼145 000 years ago (d = 0.0054), colonizing from the Indian Ocean to the western Atlantic and subsequently to the central and eastern Atlantic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of the flag cabrilla Epinephelus labriformis (Serranidae): implications for the biogeography of the Tropical Eastern Pacific and the early stages of speciation in a marine shore fish
Matthew T. Craig,Philip A. Hastings,Daniel J. Pondella,D. Ross Robertson,Jorge A. Rosales-Casian +4 more
TL;DR: To examine the role of previously described biogeographical boundaries in shaping phylogeographical relationships within and among two putative eastern Pacific sibling species, the flag cabrilla and the Clipperton grouper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speciation in the Central American Seaway: the importance of taxon sampling in the identification of trans‐isthmian geminate pairs
TL;DR: A molecular phylogenetic hypothesis is created for the closely related serranid genera Alphestes Bloch and Schneider and Dermatolepis Gill and the role of the Panamanian Isthmus in speciation within these reef fishes is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogeny of Paralabrax (Perciformes: Serranidae) and allied taxa inferred from partial 16S and 12S mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences
TL;DR: A single most parsimonious tree for the interspecific relationships of Paralabrax and allied taxa is proposed and is consistent with known biogeographic processes in the eastern Pacific.
