Phylogenetic relationships of Mesobuthus eupeus (C.L. Koch, 1839) inferred from COI sequences (Scorpiones: Buthidae)
سال
: 2010
چکیده: In this study, the first molecular phylogenetic analysis of Mesobuthus eupeus in Iran
is presented based on sequence data of a ∼ 700-base-pair fragment of cytochrome
C oxidase, subunit I. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using parsimony,
maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. The results support monophyly of
M. eupeus, but there is a clear divergence between northern and southern clades.
The northern clade includes four subspecies – M. e. eupeus, M. e. philippovitschi,
M. e. afghanus and M. e. thersites; whereas the southern clade is comprised of two
others – M. e. phillipsi and M. e. kirmanensis. Accordingly, possible scenarios for
the evolution and phylogeographic structure of M. eupeus based on the geological
history of the Iranian Plateau were proposed. The observation of two distinct lineages
supports the proposal that M. eupeus might be a species complex composed
of species with highly similar morphological features.
