Here, we test the performance of several widely-used methods that provide measures of homoplasy, including the consistency (CI) and retention indices (RI), using simulated and empirical discrete morphological datasets. In addition, we describe and test a new method employing a novel randomization protocol, which we term the relative homoplasy index (RHI). RHI outperforms other methods in a range of situations for measuring relative homoplasy and allows comparisons between different datasets. In line with some previous work, we show that relative levels of homoplasy remain constant with the addition of characters and decrease with the addition of taxa. We also show that the extent of homoplasy strongly influences the distribution of taxa in morphospace. Low homoplasy results in highly partitioned morphospace, while high homoplasy leads to clades overlapping in morphospace. Our results help illuminate the properties of relative homoplasy in morphological phylogenetic matrices, opening new potential avenues for research on homoplasy quantification in macroevolutionary studies.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such widespread species that has suffered declines across Australia, despite remaining common in some areas, is the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), a nocturnal and arboreal marsupial. Previous genetic studies on brushtail possums had limited sampling, which has precluded a comprehensive assessment of the relationships within the species and genus. Using both single nucleotide polymorphism markers and the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, this study employed phylogenetics, ancestry coefficients, and tested genetic differentiation, to examine the population structure of brushtail possums across Australia. Our results indicate that current subspecies’ classifications of T. vulpecula do not align with genetic structure, as Western Australian Pilbara and Midwest populations, currently defined as the subspecies Trichosurus vulpecula hypoleucus, are instead genetically similar to south-eastern and central T. v. vulpecula.

In this study, the genetic variability of P. homoion was assessed from 60 cyprinoid fish species at 47 sites in the western Palaearctic using the mitochondrial COI gene. Moreover, novel sequence data of four ribosomal and one mitochondrial marker were used to understand phylogenetic relationships among diplozoids. A total of 29 unique COI haplotypes in six divergent haplogroups among P. homoion populations were identified. The COI fragment showed ≤8.8% intraspecific variability. The Caspian Sea Basin and Anatolio-Mediterranean region had the highest haplotype diversity, while the Danube Basin and western Europe populations had similar haplotypes. Phylogenetic analysis showed congruence between mitochondrial and ribosomal markers, except for Paradiplozoon koubkovae from Iran. The high intraspecific variability highlights the rapid mutation rate in mitochondrial DNA, important for future taxonomic studies. The spatial distribution of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes showed partial geographical structure, suggesting an east-to-west dispersal route for P. homoion into Europe.

This study offers the first thorough description of Glossogobius diversity in the south-western Indian Ocean through integrative analyses. Our findings reveal nine lineages, five of which are newly identified, including a new species, Glossogobius hanisii sp. nov., described from southern Africa and Madagascar. Seven species/lineages, along with G. kokius from Mauritius and G. tenuiformis, are endemic to the south-western Indian Ocean. With 65% of Indian Ocean Glossogobius species/lineages being endemic to the south-western region, it is identified as a hotspot of endemism. The genetic structuring of these lineages along the east coast of southern Africa appears to be shaped by an interplay between life history, oceanographic conditions, and adaptations to marine biogeographic regions. Additionally, our findings highlight Madagascar’s central role in Glossogobius diversification and evolution of unique gobies, provide a framework for a comprehensive revision of Glossogobius in the region, and facilitate the identification of conservation units and the formulation of management measures.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143872830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most widely distributed species of Pomponia is confirmed to be P. linearis; Pomponia yayeyamanasyn. n. is recognized to be a junior synonym of P. linearis; Pomponia backanensissyn. n. is recognized to be a junior synonym of Pomponia subtilita; and six species are new to science. The phylogeny of Pomponia and related genera does not support the monophyly of Psithyristriini. The ancestor of the P. linearis species group is presumed to have originated from Hengduan Mountains and Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau at ~5.41 Mya and initially diversified during the Mid-Pliocene to Early Pleistocene. P. linearis comprises five subclades corresponding to geographically isolated populations.

Pachyrhynchus weevils, known for their unpalatable nature owing to their tough elytra, inhabit the tropical regions of the Philippines and display intricate elytral patterns that contribute significantly to species diversity. To investigate the evolution of patterns in Pachyrhynchus weevils, we used the ultraconserved elements method to construct a phylogeny encompassing 99 species and to assess pattern evolution. These weevils exhibit flexibility in pattern expression, with a trend towards pattern retention and diversification rather than pattern loss, as indicated by the analyses of evolutionary transition rates. Furthermore, using phylogenetic generalized linear regression, we found that patterns are associated with specific geographical regions, suggesting that convergent evolution of patterns occurs among weevils. Finally, our analysis revealed that speciation rates are not consistent with the rates of pattern diversification. These results highlight the complexity of pattern evolution and suggest that varying selection pressures in different areas, such as predation, combined with frequent transitions in patterns, might contribute to the evolution of these patterns, potentially leading to a rich diversity among these island-dwelling insects.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the proportions of the femur, tibiotarsus, and tarsometatarsus in 18 owl species, investigating their associations with prey preferences, body mass, and phylogenetic signals. Our results indicate that owls generally have a short femur and tarsometatarsus, and a relatively long tibiotarsus, all exhibiting isometric scaling relative to body mass. Although evolutionary inheritance influences bone proportions, ecological influences become apparent when the three bones are considered together, highlighting adaptations associated with dietary demands. For instance, the long tarsometatarsus in barn owls facilitates swift movement in dense environments, aiding in the capture of small rodents; whereas in burrowing owls, it enhances terrestrial locomotion. The remaining species exhibited a relatively short tarsometatarsus, which enhances strength and responds to various biological demands, enabling the capture of different prey types and sizes, or improving stability during perching. Our findings suggest that Tytonidae and Strigidae diverged in dietary preferences early in their evolution, with Tytonidae specializing on small rodents and Strigidae evolving from insectivory to more generalized or mammals-based diets.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
