Several studies proved that fish scale shape is suitable for species identifcation, and for population level discrimination as well. There is lack of information about how the scale shape refer to the taxonomic position of a certain species. For this reason the scale shape of 10 fish species (roach Rutilus rutilus, chub Squalius cephalus, gibel carp Carassius gibelio, razorfish Pelecus cultratus, bleak Alburnus alburnus, carp Cyprinus carpio, topmouth gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva, perch Perca fluviatilis, pikeperch Sander lucioperca, rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus), inhabiting the catchment of Lake Balaton was compared to their phylogenetic positions derived from COI sequences, available in GeneBank. At first landmark-based geometric morphometric analysis was performed on their scales’ shape. The Euclidean distance matrices derived from the scale shape data and COI sequences were compared using a Mantel test. The results show that the phylogenetic relations of the studied species corresponded well with the scale shapes. Detailed patterns might be explained by other factors, like body shape and size, life history traits of the certain species. This finding might be useful in case of unidentifyed scale samples for rough classification, for example in case of archaeological finds, or food composition analyses of piscivor species.
This project was supported by the “GINOP 2.3.2 -15-2016-00004: Establishing the sustainable angling-aimed management of Lake Balaton.”; and the “EFOP-3.6.3-VEKOP-16-2017-00008” projects. Árpád Ferincz and Ádám Staszny was supported by the Bolyai János Postdoctoral Fellowship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) and phylogenetic analyses within Arctiinae
Galarza, Juan A.; Mappes, Johanna (Taylor & Francis, 2021)We report the assembly and annotation of the complete mitochondrial genome of the warningly-coloured wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) and investigate its phylogenetic position within Arctiinae. The A.plantaginis ... -
Expanding Acutuncus : Phylogenetics and morphological analyses reveal a considerably wider distribution for this tardigrade genus
Vecchi, Matteo; Tsvetkova, Alexandra; Stec, Daniel; Ferrari, Claudio; Calhim, Sara; Tumanov, Denis (Elsevier BV, 2023)The tardigrade genus Acutuncus has been long thought to be an Antarctic endemism, well adapted to this harsh environment. The Antarctic endemicity of Acutuncus was recently dispelled with the description of Acutuncus mariae ... -

Identifying global hotspots and conservation priorities for reptilian phylogenetic diversity
Gumbs, Rikki; Böhm, Monika; Grenyer, Richard; Jetz, Walter; Roll, Uri; Meiri, Shai; Rosindell, James (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)As we face the current extinction crisis with extremely limited resources for conservation, it is important to consider how we can preserve as much of the tree of life as possible. To date, global assessments of phylogenetic ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of cryptic speciation in the polychaete Pygospio elegans
Kesäniemi, Jenni; Rawson, Paul D.; Lindsay, Sara M.; Knott, Emily (Blackwell Publishing, 2012)Development in marine invertebrate species can take place through a variety of modes and larval forms, but within a species, developmental mode is typically uniform. Poecilogony refers to the presence of more than one mode ...
