Title: Phylogenetic Relationships of Sunfishes and Basses, Family Centrarchidae, as evidenced by Mitochondrial DNA sequences and Morphological Characteristics.Mayden and Harris9903794 The Centrarchidae (sunfishes and basses) are a group of 31 species in nine genera found only in North America. This family constitutes a major component of the fish communities in most eastern North American warm-water ecosystems and are highly prized in recreational fisheries and aquaculture. In addition, centrarchids have been the focus of many behavioral, developmental, ecological, evolutionary, functional morphological, genetic and host-parasite coevolution studies. Given the popularity of these fish as model organisms across the disciplines listed above, it is surprising that genealogical relationships among species within the family have received minimal systematic attention, and those hypotheses that have been proposed either did not employ a phylogenetic methodology, were based on questionable character data, or failed to encompass all taxa within the family. In addition, all attempts at phylogenetic reconstruction for centrarchids lack an appropriate outgroup, in part, because phylogenetic relationships within Perciformes remain largely unresolved. Regardless, the existing hypotheses of relationships of these important fishes are confusing. A phylogenetic analysis of centrarchid relationships based on diverse morpholgical data sets by other researchers, and a new data set generated from the present study using mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences will provide an opportunity to establish the monophyly of the family, generate a phylogenetic hypothesis of centrarchid species relationships, and determine the sister-group to the Centrarchidae. In addition, we will re-evaluate the question of the use of ontogenetic information in polarizing and ordering characters. Through separate and combined analyses of data sets that currently exist and against the background of the large DNA sequence data set, a study of character congruence (homoplasy) and taxonomic congruence among these independent data sets also is proposed. These data sets will be used in parsimony analyses to reassess the efficacy of using ontogeny in assessing homology and character polarity, determine the extent to which data sets converge on a single phylogenetic hypothesis, and establish a stable classification for this family, and will be useful in studies of rates of evolution and modes of speciation, biogeography, evolution of functional morphology patterns, behaviors, ecologies, and host-parasite coevolution.

标题：太阳鱼和鲈鱼（太阳鱼科）的系统发育关系，由线粒体 DNA 序列和形态特征证明。Mayden 和 Harris9903794 太阳鱼科（太阳鱼和鲈鱼）是一组仅在北美发现的 9 个属 31 个物种。该科是北美东部大部分温水生态系统鱼类群落的主要组成部分，在休闲渔业和水产养殖中受到高度重视。 此外，中心虫一直是许多行为、发育、生态、进化、功能形态、遗传和宿主-寄生虫协同进化研究的焦点。 鉴于这些鱼类作为上述学科的模式生物的受欢迎程度，令人惊讶的是，该科内物种之间的谱系关系很少受到系统关注，并且提出的那些假设要么没有采用系统发育方法，要么基于有问题的特征数据，要么未能涵盖该科内的所有分类单元。 此外，所有对 Centrarchids 系统发育重建的尝试都缺乏适当的外群，部分原因是鲈形目内的系统发育关系在很大程度上仍未得到解决。 无论如何，现有的关于这些重要鱼类关系的假设是令人困惑的。基于其他研究人员的不同形态学数据集对 Centrarchidae 关系进行系统发育分析，以及本研究使用线粒体细胞色素 b 基因序列生成的新数据集将为建立该科的单系性、生成 Centrarchidae 物种关系的系统发育假说并确定 Centrarchidae 的姐妹群提供机会。 此外，我们将重新评估在极化和排序性状中使用个体发生信息的问题。 通过对现有数据集的单独和组合分析，以大型DNA序列数据集为背景，还提出了对这些独立数据集之间的字符一致性（同质性）和分类学一致性的研究。 这些数据集将用于简约分析，以重新评估使用个体发育来评估同源性和特征极性的有效性，确定数据集在单一系统发育假设上收敛的程度，并为该家族建立稳定的分类，并将有助于研究进化速率和物种形成模式、生物地理学、功能形态模式的进化、行为、生态学和 宿主-寄生虫共同进化。
