摘要
印度次大陆拥有独特的淡水贻贝动物群。构造和生物地理学重建表明,该动物群是中生代冈瓦纳生物群的衍生物,通过印度板块到达亚洲,并以该构造块为 "生物渡口"。虽然最近出版了印度银龙科的初步综合修订版,但对该地区动物群的特有程度和分类丰富程度的了解并不令人满意。在此,我们基于在印度东北部阿萨姆邦采样的大量 DNA 序列和形态学数据集,对雅鲁藏布江流域淡水贻贝的分类进行了修订。除 Lamellidens friersoni 和 Parreysia smaragdites 外,我们设法收集了该地区描述的几乎所有标称物种的拓扑结构并对其进行了测序。我们基于系统发育和形态学的研究表明,该地区的联盟科集合包含 9 个物种,属于一个亚科,即 Parreysiinae。其中 7 个种和 3 个属(Balwantia、Pseudoscabies Bolotov、Sonowal、Kardong、Pasupuleti 和 Subba Rao gen. nov.,以及 Assamnaia Bolotov、Sonowal、Kardong、Pasupuleti 和 Subba Rao gen. nov.)似乎是该地区的特有种,这表明雅鲁藏布江可能是一个具有全球意义的地方性热点地区。我们的研究结果突出表明,该地区应被视为淡水保护管理的高度优先地区。
Discovery of an endemism hotspot of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in Assam, with a description of two new genera
The Indian subcontinent houses a unique fauna of freshwater mussels. Tectonic and biogeographic reconstructions indicate that this fauna represents a derivative of Mesozoic Gondwanan biota and that it arrived in Asia on the Indian Plate, using this tectonic block as a ‘biotic ferry’. Though a preliminary integrative revision of the Indian Unionidae was published recently, the level of endemism and taxonomic richness of regional assemblages are unsatisfactorily known. Here, we revise the taxonomy of freshwater mussels from the Brahmaputra River basin based on a large DNA-sequence and morphological dataset that was sampled in Assam, north-eastern India. We managed to collect and sequence topotypes for nearly all nominal species described from the region, except for Lamellidens friersoni and Parreysia smaragdites. Our phylogenetic and morphology-based research reveals that the regional Unionidae assemblage contains nine species, belonging to a single subfamily, the Parreysiinae. Seven species and three genera (Balwantia, Pseudoscabies Bolotov, Sonowal, Kardong, Pasupuleti and Subba Rao gen. nov., and Assamnaia Bolotov, Sonowal, Kardong, Pasupuleti and Subba Rao gen. nov.) appear to be endemic to the region, indicating that the Brahmaputra River may represent an endemism hotspot of global significance. Our findings highlight that this region should be considered a high-priority area for freshwater conservation management.
期刊介绍:
The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.
