Abstract:
Underground environments are increasingly recognized as reservoirs of
faunal diversity. Extreme environmental conditions and limited dispersal
ability of underground organisms have been acknowledged as important
factors promoting divergence between species and conspecific
populations. However, in many instances, there is no correlation between
genetic divergence and morphological differentiation. Lucifuga Poey is a
stygobiotic fish genus that lives in Cuban and Bahamian caves. In Cuba,
it offers a unique opportunity to study the influence of habitat
fragmentation on the genetic divergence of stygobiotic species and
populations. The genus includes four species and one morphological
variant that have contrasting geographical distributions. In this study, we
first performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Lucifuga Cuban
species using mitochondrial and nuclear markers. The mitochondrial
phylogeny revealed three deeply divergent clades that were supported by
nuclear and morphological characters. Within two of these main clades,
we identified five lineages that are candidate cryptic species and a
taxonomical synonymy between Lucifuga subterranea and Lucifuga
teresinarum. Secondly, phylogeographic analysis using a fragment of the
cytochrome b gene was performed for Lucifuga dentata, the most widely distributed species. We found strong geographical organization of the
haplotype clades at different geographic scales that can be explained by
episodes of dispersal and population expansion followed by population
fragmentation and restricted gene flow. At a larger temporal scale, these
processes could also explain the diversification and the distribution of the
different species. Highlights: mtDNA phylogeny of the Cuban cave fishes
(Lucifuga) revealed three main clades. Nuclear and morphological
characters support these clades. Five putative new cryptic species were
identified within two of these clades. Phylogeography indicates that
dispersal and vicariance have moulds this diversity. The evolutionary
trends of four phenotypic traits were inferred. KW: Blind cave fish,
