INTRODUCTION

Penaeoids shrimp of the Superfamily Penaeoidea Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1815, are a diverse and abundant group with more than 400 species currently recognized within 49 genera representing 5 families: Aristeidae, Wood-Mason 1891; Benthesicymidae, Wood-Mason 1891; Penaeidae, Rafinesque-Schmaltz 1815; Sicyoniidae, Ortmann 1898; and Solenoceridae, Wood-Mason 1891. Members of Penaeidae and Sicyoniidae are predominantly found in littoral littoral /lit·to·ral/ (lit´ah-r'l) pertaining to the shore of a large body of water.

One hypothesis on the evolutionary relationships within Penanoidea has been advanced (Burkenroad 1983), posing an Aeger-like organism as the common ancestor of all penaeoids, from which 2 branches arose: one early diverging branch leading to peneids and sicyoniids, and a later emerging group resulting in the modern solenocerids, aristeids, and benthesicymids.

In spite of their commercial, ecological, evolutionary, and taxonomical significance, no attempts have been made to elucidate the phylogeny of Superfamily Penaeoidea. A number of molecular studies have been carried out on the phylogeny and population genetics Population genetics

Sequence Analysis

All nucleotide sequences were aligned using Clustal W 1.5 c (Thompson et al. 1994) and then manually adjusted. Phylogenetic analysis was initially carried out with PAU[P.sup.*] 4.10 (Swofford 2003). To determine which model of sequence evolution best fitted the data set, a nested likelihood ratio test was performed using Modeltest program version 3.0 (Posada po·sa·da

 searches were performed (Felsenstein 1985). Figure was prepared in part using the programs RETREE and DRAWGRAM from PHYLIP PHYLIP Phylogeny Inference Package (genetics software)  (Felsenstein 1999). Phylogenetic relationships were also estimated using neighbor-joining (NJ) analysis (Saitou & Nei 1987). NJ analysis was performed using Jukes-Cantor and pair-wise deletion options (MEGA 2.0, Kumar et al. 1993). Boot-strapping (1000 replicates) was performed to assess the confidence level at each branch.

RESULTS

In addition to 11 new mitochondrial 16S partial sequences generated for this study, another 15 partial sequences from 5 different Penaeoidea families, and 3 outgroup taxa were also included. Our dataset consisted of 29 sequences, 303-374 bp long. New sequences have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers shown in Table 1.

Aligned sequences were considerably AT-rich (75%). Base composition was A = 0.37, C = 0.026, G = 0.17, and T = 0.38. The average distance in all Penaeoidea species was 0.137 [+ or -] 0.12 and ranged from 0.001 between Sicyonia dorsalis and Aristaeopsis edwardsiana to 0.234 between Aristeus antillensis and Farfantepenaeus duorarum as well as A. antillensis and Litopenaeus setiferus (Table 2).

The likelihood ratio test indicated that the model with best fit for the data set was the Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano model (HKY HKY Hickory, NC, USA (Airport Code) ; Hasegawa et al. 1985), with a heterogeneity rate: (+G; Yang 1994); a transition/transversion ratio of 2.1355; a gamma shape parameter of 0.44; and with invariable in·var·i·a·ble

 sites (+I) of 0.2147. Maximum likelihood analysis using this model yielded two trees with a -1 n likelihood of 2942.592. Differences among both trees were the position of Aristeus antillensis, Aristaeopsis edwardsiana, and S. dorsalis. Despite the number of polytomies in the ML tree (Fig. 1), several features can be observed, being the monophyly of the Penaeoidea superfamily the most conspicuous, well apart from the 3 outgroup species: Synalpheus pectiniger, Cataleptodiusfloridanus, and Xantho poressa.

Clade A, formed by 9 species within 6 genera (according to Perez-Farfante & Kensley 1997) including the three species of American Farfantepenaeus and the two Litopenaeus species, the Indo-West Pacific Melicertus canaliculatus and Marsupenaeus japonicus, as well as 2 separated species, Penaeus monodon and Fenneropenaeus indicus, which were not resolved in the ML tree, although clearly separated from the other genera. Clade B consisted of 2 Indo-West Pacific species Trachysalambria curvirostris and Parapenaeopsis hardwickii, and the western Atlantic Xiphopenaeus kroyeri. Clade C included Parapenaeus fissurus and Metapenaeopsis barbata from the Indo-West Pacific and Penaeopsis serrata from the western Atlantic, unexpectedly associated with the species of the Solenoceridae family: Solenocera koelbeli and S. crassicornis from the Indo-West Pacific, and S. vioscai from the Western Atlantic. The only species of the Penaeidae family that appeared isolated was Metapenaeus ensis, which showed the highest genetic distances within Penaeidae (see Table 2). Another remarkable feature from the ML tree was the grouping of species belonging to families Sicyoniidae, Benthesicymidae, and Aristeidae in Clade D. Finally, the three outgroup species appeared well separated, with the caridean Synalpheus pectinger as the sister for all Superfamily Penaeoidea. The average genetic distances within each clade was: A = 0.108 [+ or -] 0.011, B = 0.094 [+ or -] 0.012, C = 0.075 [+ or -] 0.010, and D = 0.025 [+ or -] 0.004, whereas the average between 2 clades was: A-B A-B Air-Britain (UK-based aviation historical society)

[FIGURE 1 OMITTED]

The lack of resolution in some branches of the ML tree led us to carry out a NJ analysis. Like the ML, the NJ tree provided evidence supporting the monophyly of Superfamily Penaeoidea, and showed a similar arrangement of species in four clades (Fig. 2). However, in the NJ tree, clades A, C, and D formed a larger assemblage separated from clade B, which was placed as the sister group of all other members in the superfamily. Again, P. fissurus, M. barbata, and P. serrata were closely associated with the species of the Solenoceridae family. M. ensis appeared outside the major grouping of peneids, although in the NJ tree it was related to clade D, formed by the species of families Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae, and Sicyoniidae. Again, the three outgroup species appeared clearly separated from the Penaeoidea.

DISCUSSION

Despite the limited information to solve the relationships with these partial 16 S sequences, several general considerations emerged from both analyses and might be erected as hypothesis for future work using larger sequence data: (1) The monophyly of Superfamily Penaeoidea; (2) The paraphyly of Penaeidae family and its close relationship to Solenoceridae family; and (3) Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae and Sicyioniidae form a compact group with small genetic distances and might not deserve erection as separated families.

The relatively large genetic divergence observed within family Penaeidae (Clades A-C) seems to be in agreement with morphologic traits described long ago (Burkenroad 1936, Burkenroad 1983, Kubbo 1949). Members of clade A showed the greatest mean divergence (0.0108); taken as a natural group, they might be characterized morphologically by the presence of an epipod on third maxilliped max·il·li·ped

 without accessories, and thelycum closed with two lateral plates (with the exception of Marsupenaeus, which shows a thelycum with one plate, and spermatophore with accessories). The Litopenaeus species have a semiopen petasma and thelycum without seminal receptacles, and a complex spermatophore with accessories. Our results are in agreement with a previous study based on 16S mitochondrial DNA (Maggioni et al. 2001), proposing similar differentiation between Farfantepenaeus with closed thelycum and semiclosed petasma versus Litopenaeus with open thelycum and semiopen petasma.

Clade B formed by Trachysalambria, Parapenaeopsis, and Xiphopenaeus appeared divergent from the other penaeids. They are morphologically different from Clade A by the absence of pleurobranchiae on pereiopods 4 and 5, the lack of epipod on third maxilliped, presence of rostral teeth only on dorsal side, symmetrical and semiclosed petasma with hornlike or spoutlike distolateral projections, closed thelycum with one lateral plate, and the seminal receptacles paired and invaginated.

Clade C differs from Clades A and B by the lack of pleurobranchia only on fifth pereiopod and the presence of pterygostomian and parapenaeid spines. However, members of clade C are morphologically similar to those in clade B in several sexual characters: symmetrical and semiclosed petasma with invaginated and paired seminal receptacles, closed thelycum with one plate and simple spermatophore without accessories (except for Metapenaeopsis which shows asymmetric petasma and uninvaginated and unpaired seminal receptacles).

Burkenroad (1983) proposed that some genera within Solenoceridae (e.g., Haliporus), are closer to Aristeidae (by the presence of appendix interna, the two arthrobranchiae on first maxilliped and the mesial mesial /me·si·al/ (me´ze-al) nearer the center of the dental arch.

 formula, a semiopen petasma, and an open thelycum. Our results certainly differ from previous systematic studies and might suggest that morphologic characters used to differentiate among families within Superfamily Penaeoidea, have been over-emphasized. Further molecular analyses with larger sequence data and including other genera of Solenoceridae, will be necessary to elucidate the status of this family.

The apparently anomalous position of M. ensis within peneids seems to agree with some atypical morphologic characters like the petasma with distolateral projections, the lack of pleurobranchia and exopod on fifth pereiopod, the fifth male pereiopod modified and the presence of basial spine on third maxilliped and pereiopods 2-3. On this respect, previous study using allozyme markers (Tam & Chu 1993) have also revealed considerable genetic differences between Metapenaeus and other subgenera of Penaeus.

The largest genetic distance (mean = 0.175), was found between the compact group (Clade D) formed by Sicyoniidae, Benthesicymidae, and Aristeidae and the other penaeoid families. Our results strongly suggest that the 3 families are closely related and separated from families Penaeidae and Solenoceridae, however, the status of each family within Clade D will require further molecular analysis. Aristeidae and Benthesicymidae share a similar branchial formula and presence of a reduced prosartema, but differ in features of the genitalia: A. antillensis and A. edwardsiana show open thelycum and petasma, whereas B. intermedia and Gennadas. sp. have closed petasma and thelycum with invaginated and paired seminal receptacles. Nevertheless, the seminal receptacles and the spermatophores in Benthesicymidae are not homologous with Penaeidae and Sicyoniidae (Burkenroad 1936, Bauer 1986, Bauer 1991). Species of Sicyonia, resemble those of Penaeidae in some genitalia characteristics, whereas with Aristeidae and Benthesicymidae share the lack of exopods in the pereopods 1-5, and absence of the ocular scale. On the other hand, sicyoniids possess morphologic characters that otherwise are unique to Penaeoidea: a single pleurobranchia on the fifth pereiopod, uniramous third to fifth pleopods, lack of exopods in all pereiopods, closed petasma with distal, sclerotized projections, without true spermatopores, and thelycum with lanceolate Lanceolate

As indicated earlier, the value of this study is to direct the attention to three major questions about Superfamily Penaeoidea, and in particular, about the status and relationships among families. Additional molecular studies are needed to provide stronger evidence on the evolutionary history within the superfamily.
