RESEARCH ARTICLE Towards a Supertree of Arthropoda: A Species-Level Supertree of the Spiny, Slipper
2016Co-Authors: Coral Lobsters Achelata, Katie E. Davis, Thomas W. Hesketh, Cyrille Delmer, Matthew A. WillsAbstract:While supertrees have been built for many vertebrate groups (notably birds, mammals and dinosaurs), invertebrates have attracted relatively little attention. The paucity of supertrees of arthropods is particularly surprising given their economic and ecological importance, as well as their overwhelming contribution to biodiversity. The absence of comprehensive archives of machine-readable source trees, coupled with the need for software implement-ing repeatable protocols for managing them, has undoubtedly impeded progress. Here we present a supertree of Achelata (spiny, slipper and coral lobsters) as a proof of concept, constructed using new supertree specific software (the Supertree Toolkit; STK) and follow-ing a published protocol. We also introduce a new resource for archiving and managing published source trees. Our supertree of Achelata is synthesised from morphological and molecular source trees, and represents the most complete species-level tree of the group to date. Our findings are consistent with recent taxonomic treatments, confirming the validity of just two families: Palinuridae and Scyllaridae; Synaxidae were resolved within Palinuri-dae. Monophyletic Silentes and Stridentes lineages are recovered within Palinuridae, and all sub-families within Scyllaridae are found to be monophyletic with the exception of Ibaci-nae. We demonstrate the feasibility of building larger supertrees of arthropods, with the ulti-mate objective of building a complete species-level phylogeny for the entire phylum using a divide and conquer strategy

Discrimination Between the Mediterranean Spiny Lobsters Palinurus elephas and P. mauritanicus (Crustacea: Decapoda) by Mitochondrial Sequence Analysis
Hydrobiologia, 2006Co-Authors: R. Cannas, Am Deiana, A. Cau, S. Salvadori, J. TagliaviniAbstract:The Mediterranean spiny lobsters, the common spiny lobster Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1758) and the pink spiny lobster P. mauritanicus Gruvel, 1911, are important target species for commercial fisheries. In this study, we focus our attention on the DNA sequence variation of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxydase I gene (COI) in the two species of Palinurus . Spiny lobster DNA samples from four Mediterranean localities were analysed to examine the genetic variability at both the intra- and interspecific level. Furthermore, the phylogenetic relationships within the family Palinuridae (among the two species of Palinurus , most of the species of Panulirus and all the species of Jasus ) are examined.
