Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Taxonomy and Distribution of Lanternfishes (Family Myctophidae) Of the Eastern Pacific Ocean This study of the lanternfishes (family Myctophidae) of the eastern Pacific Ocean is intended to meet the need for one publication in which the available information on their taxonomy, distribution, variation, and natural history (the latter information is meager) can be found. It also provides keys to their identification. The study is admittedly a preliminary effort. It is also necessarily incomplete in regard to some genera, notably Diaphus and Gymnoscopelus. Further collection in the far southern and central Pacific and comparison with worldwide collections are needed before a definitive work on these two genera is accomplished. Similarly, the short-pectoral-fin species group of the genus Lampanyctus needs much more study in all oceans. It is hoped that flaws in the keys and data of this work will be remedied by subsequent workers, and that the present effort will be perfected and expanded to include the entire Pacific Ocean, and perhaps all oceans. This book was originally designated to be a technical report of the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office. Intensive work was begun in 1968, and a date in 1970 was set for publication. This markedly later date of appearance is due to delays on my part and to the Oceanographic Offices problems in preparing and scheduling the work for publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lantern Fishes The collections which form the subject of the present paper, were made by the Albatross, during the month of September, 1899, on a cruise from San Francisco to the Marquesas Islands and thence to Tahiti of the Society Islands. Frequent hauls were taken with the surface net and the open intermediate net to a depth of 300 fathoms. Fifteen species Of Lantern Fishes were Obtained, five of which are described as new, the others being known variously from Australia, the China Seas, Hawaii, the Pacific Coast of tropical America, or Southern California. One species is known also from the Eastern Atlantic. A very wide distribution is thus shown for the pelagic fishes Of the tropical Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take your knowledge of fishes to the next level Fishes of the World, Fifth Edition is the only modern, phylogenetically based classification of the world’s fishes. The updated text offers new phylogenetic diagrams that clarify the relationships among fish groups, as well as cutting-edge global knowledge that brings this classic reference up to date. With this resource, you can classify orders, families, and genera of fishes, understand the connections among fish groups, organize fishes in their evolutionary context, and imagine new areas of research. To further assist your work, this text provides representative drawings, many of them new, for most families of fishes, allowing you to make visual connections to the information as you read. It also contains many references to the classical as well as the most up-to-date literature on fish relationships, based on both morphology and molecular biology. The study of fishes is one that certainly requires dedication—and access to reliable, accurate information. With more than 30,000 known species of sharks, rays, and bony fishes, both lobe-finned and ray-finned, you will need to master your area of study with the assistance of the best reference materials available. This text will help you bring your knowledge of fishes to the next level. Explore the anatomical characteristics, distribution, common and scientific names, and phylogenetic relationships of fishes Access biological and anatomical information on more than 515 families of living fishes Better appreciate the complexities and controversies behind the modern view of fish relationships Refer to an extensive bibliography, which points you in the direction of additional, valuable, and up-to-date information, much of it published within the last few years Fishes of the World, Fifth Edition is an invaluable resource for professional ichthyologists, aquatic ecologists, marine biologists, fish breeders, aquaculturists, and conservationists.

Download or read book Phylogenetics written by E. O. Wiley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic systematics has taken its place as the dominant paradigm of systematic biology. It has profoundly influenced the way scientists study evolution, and has seen many theoretical and technical advances as the field has continued to grow. It goes almost without saying that the next twenty-five years of phylogenetic research will prove as fascinating as the first, with many exciting developments yet to come. This new edition of Phylogenetics captures the very essence of this rapidly evolving discipline. Written for the practicing systematist and phylogeneticist, it addresses both the philosophical and technical issues of the field, as well as surveys general practices in taxonomy. Major sections of the book deal with the nature of species and higher taxa, homology and characters, trees and tree graphs, and biogeography—the purpose being to develop biologically relevant species, character, tree, and biogeographic concepts that can be applied fruitfully to phylogenetics. The book then turns its focus to phylogenetic trees, including an in-depth guide to tree-building algorithms. Additional coverage includes: Parsimony and parsimony analysis Parametric phylogenetics including maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches Phylogenetic classification Critiques of evolutionary taxonomy, phenetics, and transformed cladistics Specimen selection, field collecting, and curating Systematic publication and the rules of nomenclature Providing a thorough synthesis of the field, this important update to Phylogenetics is essential for students and researchers in the areas of evolutionary biology, molecular evolution, genetics and evolutionary genetics, paleontology, physical anthropology, and zoology.
