Molecular phylogenetics of the fresh water sleepers Odontobutis (Gobiiformes: Odontobutidae) and its implications on biogeography of freshwater ichthyofauna of East Asia. Mol Phylogenet Evol 2023; 186:107871. [PMID: 37422179 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2023.107871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
The genus Odontobutis is a group of freshwater fishes endemic to East Asia. Phylogenetic relationships among the Odontobutis species have never been fully tested due to incomplete taxon sampling and that molecular data have not been collected in many Odontobutis species. In the present study, we sampled 51 specimens from all known eight Odontobutis species with two outgroups (Perccottus glenii and Neodontobutis hainanensis). We collected sequence data of 4434 single-copy nuclear coding loci using gene capture and Illumina sequencing. A robust phylogeny of the Odontobutis with many individuals for each species was built, supporting the current taxonomy that all extant Odontobutis species are valid. The two species from Japan (O. hikimius + O. obscurus) formed an independent clade sister to the "continental odontobutids", whereas the species from southern China (O. sinensis + O. haifengensis) separated from the rest species of the genus. Surprisingly species from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (O. potamophilus) was more closely related to species from the Korean Peninsula and northeastern China than to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, such that their relationship was ((O. sinensis + O. haifengensis)(O. platycephala + (O. yaluensis + (O. potamophilus + O. interruptus)))). Divergence time among the Odontobutis was estimated using 100 most clock-like loci and three fossil calibration points. The crown group of the Odontobutis was estimated at 9.0 Ma during the late Miocene (5.6-12.7 Ma, 95% HPDs). Ancestral range of the genus was reconstructed using Reconstruct Ancestral States in Phylogenies (RASP) and BioGeoBEARS. The result suggested that the common ancestor of modern Odontobutis probably was distributed in Japan, southern China or the Korean Peninsula. A series of geographical events in East Asia since the late Miocene, such as the opening of the Japan/East Sea, rapid uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and climate change in the northern region of the Yellow River might account for diversification and current distribution pattern of the Odontobutis.

Phylogeography of the Korean endemic Coreoleuciscus (Cypriniformes: Gobionidae): the genetic evidence of colonization through Eurasian continent to the Korean Peninsula during Late Plio-Pleistocene. Genes Genomics 2022; 44:709-719. [PMID: 35438462 PMCID: PMC9120112 DOI: 10.1007/s13258-022-01243-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background Freshwater endemism is thought to have been formed through the vicariance of connected water systems or the process by which ancestral populations colonized specific areas. The Korean Peninsula is well recognized for its high level of freshwater endemism with about 40% of freshwater fish species being endemic. Objective In this study, we attempted to reconstruct the process of speciation and phylogenetic dispersal of Coreoleuciscus species, which is endemic in the Korean Peninsula. Methods We used fossil-calibrated divergence time estimation and ancestral distributional reconstruction to infer phylogeographic reconstruction of Coreoleuciscus based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidate subunit I (COI) sequences (1551 bp). Results Our phylogeographic analysis based on a total of 626 individuals revealed that the two Coreoleuciscus species have originated from the independent colonization of different lineages in the ancestral populations, probably during the Late Plio-Pleistocene. The full-scale expansion of Coreoleuciscus populations appears to have taken place after major river structures were completed on the Korean Peninsula. We also provided evidence that the common ancestors of Coreoleuciscus was distributed in Eastern Eurasian continent and subsequently dispersed into the tip of East Asia. High genetic diversity was mainly concentrated in large drainage populations, while small populations showed an monomorphism, which could give important implications for planning the conservation and management of Coreoleuciscus. Conclusions The phylogenetic background of the rheophilic Coreoleuciscus species can be explained by the colonizer hypothesis that the endemic freshwater fish originated from the common ancestor in continental region.

Differential patterns of diversity at neutral and adaptive loci in endangered Rhodeus pseudosericeus populations. Sci Rep 2021; 11:15953. [PMID: 34354168 PMCID: PMC8342555 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-95385-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Given the fact that threatened species are often composed of isolated small populations, spatial continuity or demography of the populations may be major factors that have shaped the species' genetic diversity. Thus, neutral loci have been the most commonly-used markers in conservation genetics. However, the populations under the influence of different environmental factors may have evolved in response to different selective pressures, which cannot be fully reflected in neutral genetic variation. Rhodeus pseudosericeus, a bitterling species (Acheilognathidae; Cypriniformes) endemic to the Korean Peninsula, are only found in some limited areas of three rivers, Daecheon, Han and Muhan, that flow into the west coast. Here, we genotyped 24 microsatellite loci and two loci (DAB1 and DAB3) of MHC class II peptide-binding β1 domain for 222 individuals collected from seven populations. Our microsatellite analysis revealed distinctive differentiation between the populations of Daecheon and Muhan Rivers and the Han River populations, and populations were structured into two subgroups within the Han River. Apparent positive selection signatures were found in the peptide-binding residues (PBRs) of the MHC loci. The allelic distribution of MHC showed a degree of differentiation between the populations of Daecheon and Muhan Rivers and the Han River populations, partially similar to the results obtained for microsatellites, however showed rather complex patterns among populations in the Han River. Considering the apparent differences in the distribution of supertypes obtained based on the physicochemical differences induced by the polymorphisms of these PBRs, the differentiation in DAB1 between the two regional groups may result in the differences in immune function. No differentiation between these two regions was observed in the supertyping of DAB3, probably indicating that only DAB1 was associated with the response to locally specialized antigenic peptides.

Abstract
Sphingorhabdus sp. YGSMI21, a novel microbial strain with an enantioselective epoxide hydrolase activity, was isolated from tidal samples contaminated by accidental oil spills subjected to enriched culture with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. This strain was able to optically decompose (R)-styrene oxide (SO) and showed 100% optical purity. In addition, it showed a good enantioselectivity for the derivatives of (S)-SO, (S)-2-chlorostyrene oxide (CSO), (S)-3-CSO and (S)-4-CSO. For (S)-2-CSO, (S)-3-CSO and (S)-4-CSO, 99.9%ee was obtained with the yield of 26.2%, 24.8%, and 11.0%, respectively, when using 10 mg cells of Sphingorhabdus sp. YGSMI21 at pH 8.0 with 4 mM racemic substrates at pH 8.0 and 25°C. The values obtained in this study for (S)-2-CSO, particularly the yield of 26.2%, is noteworthy, considering that obtaining an enantiomerically pure form is difficult. Taken together, Sphingorhabdus sp. YGSMI21 can be regarded as a whole-cell biocatalyst in the production of various (S)-CSO with the chlorine group at a different position.

The Asian plethodontid salamander preserves historical genetic imprints of recent northern expansion. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9193.

Abstract
The Korean Peninsula, located at the southern tip of Northeast Asia, has never been covered by ice sheets and was a temperate refugium during the Pleistocene. Karsenia koreana, the sole Asian plethodontid salamander species, occurs only on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula and is thought to have found various climatic refugia. Despite its phylogenetic and biogeographic importance, no population-level genetic analysis has been performed on this species. Here we study the population genetic structure of K. koreana using mitochondrial and microsatellite loci to understand the recent historical dispersion process that shaped its current distribution. Overall, the genetic distance between populations correlated well with the spatial distance, and the genetic structure among populations showed signs of a unilateral northward expansion from a southernmost refugium population. Given the distinct genetic structure formed among the populations, the level of historical gene flow among populations appears to have been very low. As the estimated effective population size of K. koreana was also small, these results suggest that the small, restricted populations of K. koreana are extremely vulnerable to environmental changes that may require high levels of genetic diversity to cope with. Thus, special management strategies are needed to preserve these remnant populations.

Abstract
Gobioidei is one of the largest vertebrate taxa with over 2000 species observed around the globe. The largest group in Gobioidei is gobies that had been classified as one family, Gobiidae, based on morphological features. Molecular phylogenetic studies revealed that gobies consisted of two monophyletic families, Gobiidae and Oxudercidae, in which 19 lineages have been proposed, despite some claims arisen about the relationship among these lineages or species. We analyzed 58 Gobioidei species, including 45 East Asian oxudercids, based on 12S rRNA sequences to reconstruct the spatiotemporal diversification history of gobies. Our analysis yielded the results compatible with the previous reports in a large framework. The common ancestor of Gobiidae and Oxudercidae were estimated to appear at 38.66 Mya. Genus-level splits occurred in Gobiidae and Oxudercidae predominantly at Miocene and late Miocene to early Pleistocene, respectively. Gobies have likely originated in many parts of the northern and western Pacific Ocean, of which a large proportion of Oxudercidae have adapted to various environments in the North Pacific.

Abstract
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Rana uenoi (Anura: Ranidae) for the first time. The whole sequences were 17,370 bp and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene arrangement was completely identical to those observed from other Ranidae species. We used 11 protein-coding genes to examine the phylogenetic placement of this species in the genus Rana. Ranadybowskii was the closest sister species to R. uenoi. The clade of R. uenoi and R. dybowskii formed a cluster with Ranahuarensis, which had a sister relationship with the group of Rana amurensis, Rana coreana, and Rana kunyuensis.

Abstract
Freshwater mussels belonging to the genus Nodularia (Family Unionidae) are known to be widely distributed in East Asia. Although phylogenetic and population genetic studies have been performed for these species, there still remain unresolved questions in their taxonomic status and biogeographic distribution pathways. Here, the nucleotide sequences of CO1 and 16S rRNA were newly determined from 86 N. douglasiae and 83 N. breviconcha individuals collected on the Korean Peninsula. Based on these data, we revealed the following results: (1) N. douglasiae can be divided into the three genetic clades of A (only found in Korean Peninsula), B (widely distributed in East Asia), and C (only found in the west of China and Russia), (2) the clade A is not an independent species but a concrete member of N. douglasiae given the lack of genetic differences between the clades A and B, and (3) N. breviconcha is not a subspecies of N. douglasiae but an independent species apart from N. douglasiae. In addition, we suggested the plausible scenarios of biogeographic distribution events and demographic history of Nodularia species.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate early life of Coreoperca herzi
living in Han River and compare morphological differences between different
groups during the development in order to provide basic data for relevant
taxonomic research. On average, one female individual spawned 541 to 861 eggs
(average 701) at once. After 259 hours, the tail broke out of the egg membrane
and hatching began. Immediately after hatching, the larvae were average
7.81±0.10 mm (n=5) in total length. 60 days the juvenile was average
35.9±1.30 mm (n=5) in total length. The white spots spread to the rest of
the body, rending the same pattern as that on the body of their broodstock

Abstract
Phoxinus phoxinus is a small Leuciscinae species predominantly found in cool and well-oxygenated streams throughout a wide area encompassing Europe, Siberia and East Asia. It is believed that the populations in Korea hold important clues to how the species has been distributed south along the Eurasian continent to the Korean Peninsula. We characterized the complete mitochondrial genomes of two individual fin-clip samples collected from the two Korean river systems. The whole sequences were 17,665 and 18,220 bp, respectively, and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. The genome size difference was due to the considerably different sizes of the control region. The overall genome structures were identical to those observed in other Leuciscinae species.

Polymorphism of MHC class IIB in an acheilognathid species, Rhodeus sinensis shaped by historical selection and recombination. BMC Genet 2019; 20:74.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhodeus sinensis is a bitterling species occurring throughout the numerous freshwater systems on the East Asia. Here, we analyzed the diversity of the MHC class IIB (DAB) genes from this species, which may offer meaningful insights into evolutionary processes in this species as well as other bitterlings. RESULTS Using cDNA and gDNA samples from 50 individuals, we discovered classical 140 allelic sequences that could be allocated into either DAB1 (Rhsi-DAB1) or DAB3 (Rhsi-DAB3). DAB sequences completely lacking the intron, but identical or similar to Rhsi-DAB1, were also discovered from our gDNA samples, and this intron loss likely originated from the retrotransposition events of processed mDNA. The β1 domain was the most polymorphic in both Rhsi-DAB1 and -DAB3. Putative peptide biding residues (PBRs) in Rhsi-DAB1, but not in Rhsi-DAB3, exhibited a significant dN/dS, presumably indicating that different selection pressures have acted on those two DABs. Recombination between different alleles seemed to have contributed to the increase of diversity in Rhsi-DABs. Upon phylogenetic analysis, Rhsi-DAB1 and -DAB3 formed independent clusters. Several alleles from other species of Cypriniformes were embedded in the clade of Rhsi-DAB1, whereas Rhsi-DAB3 clustered with alleles from the wider range of taxa (Cyprinodontiformes), indicating that these two Rhsi-DABs have taken different historical paths. CONCLUSIONS A great deal of MHC class IIB allelic diversity was found in R. sinensis, and gene duplication, selection and recombination may have contributed to this diversity. Based on our data, it is presumed that such historical processes have commonly or differently acted on the polymorphism of Rhsi-DAB1 and -DAB3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent reports highlighted the possibility that Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) can act as critical regulators of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation; therefore, it is natural for compounds targeting Hippo/YAP and TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathways to be identified as potential anti-fibrotic candidates. PURPOSE Liquiritigenin (LQ) is an aglycone of liquiritin and has been reported to protect the liver from injury. However, its effects on the Hippo/YAP and TGF-β1/Smad pathways have not been identified to date. METHODS We conducted a series of experiments using CCl4-induced fibrotic mice and cultured LX-2 cells. RESULT LQ significantly inhibited liver fibrosis, as indicated by decreases in regions of hepatic degeneration, inflammatory cell infiltration, and the intensity of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) staining in mice. Moreover, LQ blocked the TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of Smad 3, and the transcript levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in LX-2 cells, which is similar with resveratrol and oxyresveratrol (positive controls). Furthermore, LQ increased activation of large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1) with the induction of YAP phosphorylation, thereby preventing YAP transcriptional activity and suppressing the expression of exacerbated TGF-β1/Smad signaling molecules. CONCLUSION These results clearly show that LQ ameliorated experimental liver fibrosis by acting on the TGF-β1/Smad and Hippo/YAP pathways, indicating that LQ has the potential for effective treatment of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
The nutria (Myocastor coypus) was introduced to South Korea in 1987 for breeding of individuals for fur and meat industry, and was accidentally released into the wild.
Here, we report the development of microsatellites for the nutria collected from South Korea using Illumina MiSeq genome sequencing to identify the genetic variability and demographic
history of these introduced populations. A total of 626,282 microsatellite sequences were identified, and nine polymorphic loci were characterized. We used four novel loci developed and
three previously known loci to investigate the genetic diversity of twelve South Korean populations. A low level of diversity was found, and no signature of genetic structuring was revealed
among populations, indicating that Korean nutria individuals originated from a single population or a highly inbred reared herd.

Abstract
Separated river systems could create confluences via two geological processes, estuary coalescence in response to decreasing sea levels and headwater capture, allowing primary freshwater species to disperse across rivers. Squalidus multimaculatus, is an endemic and primary freshwater species restricted to the southeast coast of the Korean Peninsula. The distribution of this species is unique, given that other congeneric species, including its closely related S. gracilis majimae, as well as other cyprind species are observed throughout the peninsula except for the east coast. Phylogeographic analyses were conducted using three mitochondrial loci to identify the origin of S. multimaculatus and the historical pathways of dispersal. A strong phylogenetic affinity between S. multimaculatus and S. g. majimae and the genetic structure among populations indicated that S. multimaculatus originated from the eastward colonization of the common ancestor between S. g. majimae and S. multimaculatus via headwater capture through fault zones within successive mountain range. Following colonization, the ancestral S. multimaculatus likely migrated towards north via estuary coalescence along a well-developed continental shelf. Our study was the first empirical attempt providing insights into how freshwater organisms dispersed to the southernmost tip of East Asia, despite the potential loss of such historical imprints with anthropogenic interference.

Abstract
Tanakia is a bitterling genus with six species found in Far East Asia. Our aim was to construct the standard DNA barcode database available for the identification of six Tanakia species by comparing the range of intra- and inter-specific genetic distances, identifying the phylogenetic placement of each Tanakia species and providing the unique barcode characteristics that are specific to each species, using cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and cytochrome b (cyt b). Both loci failed to create a perfect barcoding gap between the ranges of inter- and intra-specific genetic distances, though interspecific COI distances were sufficiently greater than intraspecific values with only a few exceptions. In our phylogenetic analyses, T. koreensis and T. signifer did not form a monophyletic cluster of haplotypes in both loci. COI provided clear nucleotide characteristics that distinguish each species, whereas relatively fewer informative sites were found within the range of cyt b. Overall, COI could be regarded as appropriate species identification solution in Tanakia. Our analyses yielded some taxonomic issues that need the further investigation, and are expected to be helpful in the examination for the conservation status of Tanakia species that are on the verge of being endangered.

Abstract
Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection of powerful data, their value to inform fisheries management, aquaculture, and biosecurity applications remains underestimated. We review genomic applications of relevance to the sustainable management of seafood resources, illustrate the benefits of, and identify barriers to their integration. We conclude that the value of genomic information towards securing the future of seafood does not need to be further demonstrated. Instead, we need immediate efforts to remove structural roadblocks and focus on ways that support integration of genomic-informed methods into management and production practices. We propose solutions to pave the way forward.

Abstract
The short ninespine stickleback, Pungitius kaibarae, is a small gasterosteid species complex containing three geographical lineages: ND, NE and SE. Here, complete mitochondrial genomes of these three lineages were analyzed to estimate the genetic differentiation among them and to identify their phylogenetic placement in genus Pungitius. Although the overall genome structure was identical among those three lineages, the genome sizes were slightly different from each other, ranging from 16,489 to 16,500 bp. Upon robust phylogenetic tree inferred by Bayesian algorithm, ND and SE showed relatively higher affinity, and those three lineages formed a monophyletic group with Russian P. tymensis, clearly supporting previous studies.

Abstract
Onychodactylus koreanus, a hynobiid salamander species endemic to the Korean Peninsula, can be regarded as a strict ecological specialist, probably vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental modifications and climate change. We used mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to analyze the genetic diversity and phylogenetic structure of O. koreanus from 19 populations collected in an attempt to cover its major distribution within South Korea. A total of 76 haplotypes of O. koreanus obtained in our analyses could be subdivided into three phylogenetic clades, KR, NE and SE. Clade KR haplotypes occur in most of the regions throughout the Korean Peninsula with four distinct subclades (KR I-IV). Clade NE and SE haplotypes were only observed in two populations YY and YS, respectively. Haplotype sharing was scarce even among populations in geographical proximity, and most of the populations were represented by a single clade or subclade, indicating the low level of gene flow among populations. O. koreanus likely originated from the historical southward dispersal of its ancestral lineages following divergence from Chinese O. zhaoermii that was recovered as the sister of O. koreanus in our phylogenetic analysis. Our results have critical implications for the taxonomic status of O. koreanus and its long-term management plan.

Abstract
Odontobutis obscura is a bottom-dwelling freshwater fish native to East Asia. Its range encompasses southwest China, western Japan, and Geoje Island in South Korea. Despite its widespread range in China and Japan, only a small and spatially isolated population is found in South Korea. We developed a total of 23 novel and polymorphic microsatellite loci of O. obscura using Illumina paired-end shotgun sequencing and characterized them using 80 Japanese and Korean samples. An extensive genetic polymorphism was detected at these 23 loci, with the observed number of alleles at a locus ranging from 2 to 15 and expected and observed heterozygosities ranging from 0 to 0.656 and 0 to 0.547, respectively. Korean O. obscura exhibited a much lower level of genetic variability than the Japanese population did, probably as a result of long-term isolation combined with historical bottlenecks. The Japanese and Korean populations showed a high level of genetic differentiation with FST = 0.700 and RST = 0.913. Many of our primer sets were successfully transferable to congeneric O. interrupta and O. platycephala, which exhibited even greater polymorphism than Korean O. obscura. In conclusion, our study showed that these 23 microsatellite markers are useful for understanding the conservation biology and population genetic structure of O. obscura and other congeneric species.

Abstract
Rhodeus pseudosericeus is a native bitterling to the Korean Peninsula and found in very limited areas with small census size. Here, its complete mitochondrial genome was analyzed to provide novel data for the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationship among Acheilognathinae species. The genome was a 16,574 bp long consisting of 1 putative control region, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA and 13 protein-coding genes. The gene arrangement was completely identical to those observed in other Acheilognathinae species as well as in other cyprinid species. In our phylogenetic analyses, three major genera of Acheilognathinae indepedently formed monophyletic groups in the tree reconstructed based on the whole genome sequences, whereas Rhodeus was not recovered as a single monophyly when solely considering protein-coding genes, indicating that the taxonomic reevaluation is still required in this subfamily.

Abstract
The contemporary distribution and genetic structure of a freshwater fish provide insight into its historical geodispersal and geographical isolation following Quaternary climate changes. The short ninespine stickleback, Pungitius kaibarae, is a small gasterosteid fish occurring in freshwater systems on the Korean Peninsula and in southeast Russia. On the Korean Peninsula, P. kaibarae populations are distributed in three geographically separated regions: the NE (northeast coast), SE (southeast coast), and a limited area in the ND (Nakdong River). In this study, we used mitochondrial loci and microsatellites to investigate the evolutionary history of P. kaibarae populations by assessing their pattern of genetic structure. Our analyses revealed a marked level of divergence among three regional populations, suggesting a long history of isolation following colonization, although ND individuals showed relatively higher genetic affinity to populations from SE than those from NE. The populations from NE showed a great degree of interpopulation differentiation, whereas populations from SE exhibited only weak genetic structuring. Upon robust phylogenetic analysis, P. kaibarae formed a monophyletic group with Russian P. sinensis and P. tymensis with strong node confidence values, indicating that P. kaibarae populations on the Korean Peninsula originated from the southward migration of its ancestral lineage around the middle Pleistocene.

Abstract
Horseshoe crabs (order Xiphosura) are often referred to as an ancient order of marine chelicerates and have been considered as keystone taxa for the understanding of chelicerate evolution. However, the mitochondrial genome of this order is only available from a single species, Limulus polyphemus. In the present study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genomes from two Asian horseshoe crabs, Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda and Tachypleus tridentatus to offer novel data for the evolutionary relationship within Xiphosura and their position in the chelicerate phylogeny. The mitochondrial genomes of C. rotundicauda (15,033 bp) and T. tridentatus (15,006 bp) encode 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Overall sequences and genome structure of two Asian species were highly similar to that of Limulus polyphemus, though clear differences among three were found in the stem-loop structure of the putative control region. In the phylogenetic analysis with complete mitochondrial genomes of 43 chelicerate species, C. rotundicauda and T. tridentatus were recovered as a monophyly, while L. polyphemus solely formed an independent clade. Xiphosuran species were placed at the basal root of the tree, and major other chelicerate taxa were clustered in a single monophyly, clearly confirming that horseshoe crabs composed an ancestral taxon among chelicerates. By contrast, the phylogenetic tree without the information of Asian horseshoe crabs did not support monophyletic clustering of other chelicerates. In conclusion, our analyses may provide more robust and reliable perspective on the study of evolutionary history for chelicerates than earlier analyses with a single Atlantic species.

Abstract
Clathrin-coated pits are now recognized to be involved in cell signaling in addition to receptor down-regulation. Here we tried to identify signaling pathways that might be dependent on clathrin. Our initial data with pharmacological inhibitors of formation of clathrin-coated pits or lipid-rafts indicated that Ca(2+) response evoked by cross-linking of the high affinity receptors for IgE (FcepsilonRI) was dependent on clathrin. To confirm this finding, we created clathrin-knockdown cells by transfecting the mast cell line RBL-2H3 with a shRNA-clathrin heavy chain construct. In these cells, the FcepsilonRI-mediated Ca(2+) response was almost completely abolished, which was accompanied by the inhibition of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) production with no changes in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) production. This suggests that the Ca(2+) signaling pathway via a sphingosine kinase (SK) is dependent on clathrin. Furthermore, antigen-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 and p110 subunits of PI3K was almost completely inhibited in clathrin-knockdown cells. In contrast, antigen-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma was not affected by clathrin-knockdown and tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk and degranulation were partially inhibited in clathrin-knockdown cells. The present study identifies the SK/Ca(2+) pathway to be dependent on clathrin.

Abstract
Insight into the processes of evolutionary change can be obtained by studying the distribution of genetic diversity among populations. Such diversity can be shaped by historical colonization events, population connectivity and adaptation to local selection pressures. Here we examine genetic differentiation of Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata, by genotyping 373 individuals from 15 populations located in three drainages (northern coast, Caroni and Oropouche) with 7 microsatellite loci. Our data provide little evidence to support previous claims of two major genetic lineages of guppies in northern Trinidad but instead suggest a more complex pattern of gene flow among populations from different drainages. First, some of the populations in the Caroni drainage show genetic signatures similar to those in the Oropouche drainage. Second, the populations in the northern coast are all highly differentiated from those in either the Caroni or Oropouche drainages. Despite differing selection regimes owing to predation pressure, populations from upstream and downstream locales typically cluster together, albeit upstream populations consistently have less genetic variability than the corresponding downstream population. There is, however, no overall pattern of isolation by distance. We also find evidence that an artificially transplanted population from the Caroni drainage is successfully invading into other populations within the Oropouche system. Our analysis details the genetic and phylogeographic structure of Trinidadian guppies in the northern range and provides insight into evolutionary processes at different timescales that have shaped genetic heterogeneity in this fish.

Abstract
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), the small random deviations from perfect morphological symmetry that result during development, is ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom. In many species, FA seems to play a role in mate choice, perhaps because it signals an individual's genetic quality and health. However, the relationship between an individual's FA and behaviour is generally unknown: what do more asymmetric individuals do about their own asymmetry? We now show for the first time that individuals respond behaviourally to their own morphological FA in what appears to be an adaptive manner. During courtship, male guppies exhibiting high FA in ornamental colour, bias their displays towards their more colourful body side, thus potentially increasing their attractiveness by exaggerating the quantity of their orange signal. This appears to be a strictly behavioural male response to cues provided by females, as it does not occur when males court a non-reactive model female. Whether inferior males realize any mating advantage remains uncertain, but our study clearly demonstrates a behavioural response to random morphological asymmetries that appears to be adaptive. We propose that the tendency to show or otherwise use a 'best side' is common in nature, with implications for sexual signalling and the evolution of more pronounced asymmetries.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) has long been recognized as a second messenger for intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. Recently, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) has been shown to be involved in Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we investigated the role of S1P and IP3 in antigen (Ag)-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in RBL-2H3 mast cells. Antigen-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization was only partially inhibited by the sphingosine kinase inhibitor dl-threo-dihydrosphingosine (DHS) or the IP3 receptor inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), whereas preincubation with both inhibitors led to complete inhibition. In contrast, stimulation of A3 adenosine receptors with N5-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) caused intracellular Ca2+ mobilization that was completely abolished by 2-APB but not by DHS, suggesting that NECA required only the IP3 pathway, while antigen used both the IP3 and S1P pathways. Interestingly, however, inhibition of IP3 production with the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 completely abolished Ca2+ release from the ER induced by either stimulant. This suggested that S1P alone, without concomitant production of IP3, would not cause intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. This was further demonstrated in some clones of RBL-2H3 cells excessively overexpressing a beta isoform of Class II phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3KC2beta). In such clones including clone 5A4C, PI3KC2beta was overexpressed throughout the cell, although endogenous PI3KC2beta was normally expressed only in the ER. Overexpression of PI3KC2beta in the cytosol and the PM led to depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2), resulting in a marked reduction in IP3 production. This could explain the abolishment of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in clone 5A4C. Supporting this hypothesis, the Ca2+ mobilization was reconstituted by the addition of exogenous PI(4,5)P2 in these cells. Our results suggest that both IP3 and S1P contribute to FcvarepsilonRI-induced Ca2+ release from the ER and production of IP3 is necessary for S1P to cause Ca2+ mobilization from the ER.
