          Abstract

          Abstract The Hoplias malabaricus group encompasses six valid species and still is believed to harbors cryptic diversity. In this work, an integrative approach including morphological, DNA barcoding, and cytogenetic considerations was conducted to characterize a population of H. malabaricus from the Amazon basin that was recently allocated in the same mitochondrial lineage with H. misionera, a species originally described from La Plata basin. The DNA barcoding analysis revealed that the Amazon population nested together with H. misionera specimens from the La Plata basin (BIN AAB1732) in the same cluster. The intragroup distance (0.5%) was 12 times lower than the nearest neighbor (6%) distance. The morphometric analysis demonstrated slightly variation between Amazon and La Plata populations, being the former composed by larger specimens. Further morphological data supported the molecular evidence of H. misionera inhabiting Amazon basin. The karyotype characterization of H. misionera in the Amazon population showed 2n=40 and karyotypic formulae 20m+20sm, that added to C-banding, Ag-NOR and 18S results are suggestive of the similarity to karyomorph C of H. malabaricus. This work reveals the first record of H. misionera outside of La Plata basin and expands the species distribution for 2500 km northward until the Marajó Island, estuary of Amazonas River.

          Resumo O grupo Hoplias malabaricus compreende seis espécies válidas e ainda acredita-se que abriga diversidade críptica. Neste trabalho, uma abordagem integrativa incluindo considerações morfológicas, de DNA barcoding e de citogenética foi conduzida para caracterizar uma população de H. malabaricus da bacia amazônica que foi recentemente alocada na mesma linhagem mitocondrial de H. misionera, uma espécie originalmente descrita para a bacia La Plata. A análise molecular por DNA barcoding revelou que essa população amazônica forma um clado monofilético com espécimes de H. misionera provenientes da bacia La Plata (BIN AAB1732). A distância genética intragrupo (0,5%) é 12 vezes menor do que para o vizinho mais próximo (6%). A comparação morfométrica demonstrou pequena variação entre as populações amazônica e La Plata, sendo os primeiros ligeiramente maiores. Entretanto, os dados morfológicos corroboram com evidência molecular e confirmam a ocorrência de H. misionera na bacia amazônica. A caracterização cariotípica de H. misionera na população amazônica apresentou 2n=40 e fórmula cariotípica 20m+20sm, que aliada aos resultados de banda C, Ag-NOR e 18S sugerem que seja similar ao cariomorfo C de H. malabaricus. Esse trabalho revela o primeiro registro de H. misionera fora da bacia La Plata e estende a distribuição da espécie por mais de 2500 km ao Norte, até a Ilha do Marajó, estuário do rio Amazonas.

          MEGA X: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis across Computing Platforms.

          The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (Mega) software implements many analytical methods and tools for phylogenomics and phylomedicine. Here, we report a transformation of Mega to enable cross-platform use on Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. Mega X does not require virtualization or emulation software and provides a uniform user experience across platforms. Mega X has additionally been upgraded to use multiple computing cores for many molecular evolutionary analyses. Mega X is available in two interfaces (graphical and command line) and can be downloaded from www.megasoftware.net free of charge.

            A simple method for estimating evolutionary rates of base substitutions through comparative studies of nucleotide sequences.

            Some simple formulae were obtained which enable us to estimate evolutionary distances in terms of the number of nucleotide substitutions (and, also, the evolutionary rates when the divergence times are known). In comparing a pair of nucleotide sequences, we distinguish two types of differences; if homologous sites are occupied by different nucleotide bases but both are purines or both pyrimidines, the difference is called type I (or "transition" type), while, if one of the two is a purine and the other is a pyrimidine, the difference is called type II (or "transversion" type). Letting P and Q be respectively the fractions of nucleotide sites showing type I and type II differences between two sequences compared, then the evolutionary distance per site is K = -(1/2) ln [(1-2P-Q) square root of 1-2Q]. The evolutionary rate per year is then given by k = K/(2T), where T is the time since the divergence of the two sequences. If only the third codon positions are compared, the synonymous component of the evolutionary base substitutions per site is estimated by K'S = -(1/2) ln (1-2P-Q). Also, formulae for standard errors were obtained. Some examples were worked out using reported globin sequences to show that synonymous substitutions occur at much higher rates than amino acid-altering substitutions in evolution.
