Abstract

The blue green damselfishes were described as a complex of two species (Chromis viridis and Chromis atripectoralis), mainly based on the colouration of the pectoral fin base. In this study, the authors analysed the mitochondrial control region of 88 blue green damselfishes from Indonesia, the Philippines, Red Sea and the Great Barrier Reef. The phylogenetic analysis revealed four major monophyletic clades. Two clades included specimens of C. atripectoralis from the Great Barrier Reef and individuals of C. viridis from the Red Sea, respectively. The remaining individuals of C. viridis from Indonesia and the Philippines were grouped into two clades without phylogeographic structure. The obtained results (1) verified that C. viridis and C. atripectoralis are distinct species and (2) revealed three deep evolutionary lineages of C. viridis in the Indo‐Malay Archipelago and the Red Sea.

  • Strong isolation of Red Sea populations from the Western Indian Ocean has previously been reported for corals, fishes, arthropods, echinoderms, molluscs and sponges, although some studies found no barriers for some fish species.

    “Strong isolation of Red Sea populations from the WIO has been previously reported for corals (Pinzón et al. 2013), fishes (discussed, e.g., in Froukh and Kochzius 2008;DiBattista et al. 2013DiBattista et al. , 2016)), arthropods (e.g., Iacchei et al. 2016), echinoderms (Vogler et al. 2008), molluscs (e.g., Hui et al. 2016) and sponges (Wörheide et al. 2008), although some studies found no”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
