Revision of the systematics of the cardinalfishes (Percomorpha: Apogonidae) based on molecular analyses and comparative reevaluation of morphological characters.
Zootaxa, 2014Co-Authors: Kohji Mabuchi, Thomas H Fraser, Hayeun Song, Yoichiro Azuma, Mutsumi NishidaAbstract:Molecular analyses were conducted based on 120 of the estimated 358 species of the family Apogonidae with 33 of 40 genera and subgenera, using three gobioids and one kurtid as collective outgroups. Species of Amioides , Apogon , Apogonichthyoides , Apogonichthys , Archamia , AstrApogon , Brephamia , Cercamia , Cheilodipterus , Fibramia n. gen., Foa , Fowleria , Glossamia , GymnApogon , Jaydia , Lachneratus , Nectamia , Ostorhinchus , Paroncheilus , Phaeoptyx , PristiApogon , Pristicon , Pseudamia , PterApogon , Rhabdamia , Siphamia , Sphaeramia , Taeniamia , Verulux , Vincentia , Yarica , ZApogon and Zoramia were present in the molecular analyses; species of Bentuviaichthys , HolApogon , Lepidamia , Neamia , Paxton , Pseudamiops and Quinca were absent from the analyses. Maximum-likelihood (ML), Bayesian (BA), and Maximum parsimony (MP) analyses based on two mitochondrial (12S rRNA-tRNA Val -16S rRNA, ca. 1500 bp; COI, ca. 1500 bp) and two nuclear DNA (RAG1, ca. 1300 bp; ENC1, ca. 800 bp) fragments reproduced two basal clades within the monophyletic family: one including a single species, Amioides polyacanthus , and the other comprising species of Pseudamia . All the other Apogonid species formed a large well-established monophyletic group, in which almost identical 12 major clades were reproduced, with phylogenetic positions of four species ( Glossamia aprion , Ostorhinchus margaritophorus , PterApogon kauderni , and Vincentia novaehollandiae ) left unsettled. Apogon sensu lato and recent Ostorhinchus (excepting O. margaritophorus ) were divided into six and three major clades, respectively. Each of the recognized clades in the family was then evaluated for morphological characters to identify synapomorphies. Based on the results of the molecular analyses and the reevaluation of morphological characters, four subfamilies were proposed within the family: Apogoninae (including most of the species in the family), Amioidinae new subfamily (including Amioides , and based on morphology, HolApogon ), Paxtoninae new subfamily (including Paxton , based only on morphology) and Pseudamiinae (including Pseudamia ). Within the largest subfamily Apogoninae, twelve new tribes were proposed based on the 12 molecular clades and associated morphology: Apogonichthyini, Apogonini (mainly including species of Apogon sensu stricto ), Archamiini, Cheilodipterini, GymnApogonini, Ostorhinchini (including striped species of recent Ostorhinchus ), PristiApogonini, Rhabdamiini, Sphaeramiini (mainly including barred species of traditional Ostorhinchus , such as Apogonichthyoides , Jaydia and Nectamia ), Siphamiini, Veruluxini, and Zoramiini. Two additional tribes are proposed based only on morphology: Glossamiini and Lepidamiini. For each of the 14 tribes, morphological characters were described. One new genus, Fibramia , type species Apogon thermalis , recently in Ostorhinchus , was described supported by morphology and molecular trees. A key to all genera is provided and all valid and uncertain status species are allocated to tribes and genera.

molecular phylogeny and stripe pattern evolution in the cardinalfish genus Apogon
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2006Co-Authors: Kohji Mabuchi, Noboru Okuda, Mutsumi NishidaAbstract:CardinalWshes of the genus Apogon (Apogonidae) are one of the most speciose (>200 species) and numerically dominant Wshes in coral reefs. Although the genus is divided into 10 subgenera, more than 70% of the species are included in the subgenus Ostorhinchus, most having either horizontal or vertical lines on the body. The phylogenetic relationship among 32 species of subgenus Ostorhinchus and 11 species of four other subgenera of Apogon, based on mitochondrially encoded 12S and 16S ribosomal genes and intervening tRNA Val gene, were investigated, using two species of the Apogonid genus Fowleria as outgroups. The analyses demonstrated that Ostorhinchus (the most speciose subgenus) was polyphyletic, comprising at least three lineages, Ostorhinchus I, II, and III. Ostorhinchus I included two species, A. (O.) amboinensis and A. (O.) sangiensis, being a sister group to subgenus Zoramia. Ostorhinchus II and III included species with horizontal and vertical lines on the body, respectively. The respective monophylies of the latter two groups, together with a molecular clock calibration, indicated that in the evolutionary history of the genus, basic stripe patterns evolved Wrst (more than 20 million years BP), with subsequent pattern diversiWcation and modiWcation.

genetic differentiation between two color morphs of Apogon taeniophorus from southern japan
Ichthyological Research, 2004Co-Authors: Kohji Mabuchi, Noboru Okuda, Mutsumi NishidaAbstract:The anterior half of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene (ca. 610 bp) was compared for two color morphs (spotted and lined types) of a dark-striped cardinalfish, previously identified as Apogon taeniophorus. Phylogenetic analyses using maximum-parsimony (MP) and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods, with haplotypes of A. cookii as an outgroup, showed that the haplotypes of each color-morph were reciprocally monophyletic with 100% bootstrap values. In addition, the degree of sequence difference between the two morphs was comparable to that existing between the other clearly distinct congeneric species. These results, together with the differences in coloration and overlapped geographical ranges, indicated that the two color morphs of A. taeniophorus represent two distinct species.

Genetic comparison of two color-morphs of Apogon properuptus from southern Japan
Ichthyological Research, 2003Co-Authors: Kohji Mabuchi, Noboru Okuda, Tomoyuki Kokita, Mutsumi NishidaAbstract:The anterior half of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene (ca. 650 bp) was compared for two color-morphs (dotted and lined types) of the orange-lined cardinalfish, previously identified as Apogon properuptus. Twelve and nine specimens, respectively, of dotted and lined types were collected from four and three localities along the coasts of southern Japan and the Ryukyu Islands, specimens of both color-morphs being collected from one of these localities on the southern coast of the Shikoku Island. Phylogenetic analyses using maximum parsimony (MP) and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods, with haplotypes of A. semilineatus and A. cyanosoma as an outgroup and comparative OTU, respectively, showed that the haplotypes of each color-morph were reciprocally monophyletic with 100% bootstrap values. These results, together with their distinct coloration and partly overlapping geographical ranges, indicated that the two color-morphs of A. properuptus from Japanese waters represent two distinct species.

diversification of the genus Apogon lacepede 1801 Apogonidae perciformes in the tropical eastern pacific
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019Co-Authors: Victor Julio Pineros, Carole C Baldwin, Rosa Gabriela Beltranlopez, Enrique Barraza, Eduardo Espinoza, Juan Esteban Martinez, Omar DominguezdominguezAbstract:Abstract We examined the role of geographic barriers and historical processes on the diversification of Apogon species within the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP). Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences were used in Bayesian and Maximum likelihood analyses to generate a phylogenetic hypothesis for Apogon species. Bayesian inferences were used to date the cladogenetic events. Analyses with BioGeoBEARS were conducted to reconstruct the biogeographic history and ancestral ranges. The phylogenetic results show a monophyletic clade of TEP Apogon species with A. imberbis from the eastern Atlantic as sister species. The two lineages diverged during the Miocene. Within the TEP clade, two subclades diverged at around 11.1 million years ago (Mya): one clusters the coastal continental species (A. pacificus, A. retrosella and A. dovii), and the second clusters the oceanic island species (A. atradorsatus, A. atricaudus and A. guadalupensis). The estimated diversification times of these subclades were 9.8 and 7.1 Mya, respectively. Within each subclade, species divergences occurred during the Pliocene-Pleistocene epochs. The divergent event between the Atlantic A. imberbis and Apogon TEP clade corresponds to the first closure event of the Central American Seaway. The biogeographic history of Apogon within the TEP appears to be the result of vicariant, dispersal and founder events that occurred during the last 11 million years. The vicariant and dispersal events occurred along the mainland and were associated with the origin of the Central American Gap. The founder events could have allowed the invasion of Apogon to TEP island areas and could have been driven by ancient warming oceanic waters, changes in circulation of marine currents, and the presence of seamounts in ancient marine ridges that allowed the settlement of marine biota. These factors may have allowed Apogon lineages to cross the TEP biogeographic barriers at different times, with subsequent genetic isolation.

two new cardinalfish species of the genus Apogon from easter island
Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences 4th series., 2004Co-Authors: David W Greenfield, John E RandallAbstract:Three species of Apogon have been reported from Easter Island, two of which are here described as new: Apogon kauteamea (formerly A. coccineus), small, translucent red, with VI first-dorsal spines, a free edge of skin near the anterior nasal opening, and two rows of scales between the lateral line and the base of the third dorsal spine; and Apogon rubrifuscus (formerly talboti), distinct in having two predorsal bones and 12 pectoral-fin rays. It is similar to A. deetsie and A. caudicinctus, but has a much larger membranous preopercular flap, lacks any dark bars on the body, and attains larger size (101.5 mm SL).

clarification of the cardinalfishes Apogonidae previously confused with Apogon moluccensis valenciennes with a description of a related new species
2002Co-Authors: Thomas H Fraser, John E Randall, Gerald R AllenAbstract:ABSTRAC1: -Apogon moluccensis Valenciennes, 1832, is redescribed and its range noted as Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, and the Solomon Islands, Geographic variation of gill rakers and rudiments on the first gill arch is noted among three populations, Apogon chrysosoma Bleeker, 1852, A, monochrous Bleeker, 1856, and A. ventrifasciatus Allen, Kuiter & Randall, 1994, are regarded as junior synonyms. Lectotypes of A. chrysosoma and A. monochrous are designated and described. Apogon monospilus, previously misidentified as A. moluccensis, is described as a new species. It is distinguished from A. moluccensis by having 25-28 gill rakers plus rudiments and darkly pigmented roof of mouth including some of the gill arches versus 21-25 gill rakers with pale roof of mouth and gill arches. The new species was frequently collected in depths greater than 20 meters. New records from India and the Maldives are reported for Apogon oxina, a related species.

Apogon dianthus a new species of cardinalfish perciformes Apogonidae from palau western pacific ocean with comments on other species of the subgenus Apogon
Proceedings of The Biological Society of Washington, 2002Co-Authors: Thomas H Fraser, John E RandallAbstract:A new species, Apogon dianthus, in the subgenus Apogon Lacepede, 1802 is described from a single specimen from Palau. It has 12 pectoral-fin rays, 15 well-developed gill rakers, four predorsal scales, and a pink, translucent body lacking any dark markings or dark edges on the scales. It is related to A. deetsie Randall, 1998, known from the Hawaiian Islands and Tuamotu Archipelago which has blackish bars on the body, six predorsal scales, 12 pectoral-fin rays, and 13-15 well-developed gill rakers. Thirty-eight species are recognized in the subgenus Apogon, which is the most widespread group of cardinalfishes. Nearly 24% of the species are peripheral island endemics in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Only one of these species is presently known to have a widespread Pacific Plate distribution.

a review of the red sea cardinalfishes of the Apogon bandanensis complex with a description of a new species
Special Publication. J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology, 1999Co-Authors: T H Fraser, John E Randall, E A LachnerAbstract:Three species of the Apogon bandanensis group are found in the Red Sea, the wide-spread Apogon guamensis, the endemic Apogon annularis, and a new endemic species Apogon zebrinus. Color patterns, gill-rakers, body depth, second anal spine length, pectoral fin length, and caudal peduncle depth are important aids for identification of the Red Sea species. Two synonyms of Apogon guamensis were based on juvenile material: Apogon ocellatus from Madagascar and Apogon spongicolus from the Red Sea. Ruppell's, Gunther's and Klausewitz's concepts of Apogon annularis are reviewed. Apogon erdmani is a synonym of Apogon annularis. Apogon savayensis and another wide spread new species were not found in any Red Sea collections we examined.
