🧵1/7 New from #NearLab Paraphyletic classification and its consequences for the world’s most endangered fishes🐟
Sturgeons (Acipenseridae) are classified in a way known to be phylogenetically wrong for 28 years. It's time to fix it getting it right matters for conservation, not just taxonomy

Atlantic sturgeon is one of ~27 species in the sturgeon family Acipenseridae, a group whose looks haven’t changed much since the Cretaceous. They have bony plates (scutes) instead of scales, barbels by their mouths + heterocercal tails (one side larger than the other - like sharks) #25DaysofFishmas

Lake sturgeon is one of ~27 species in the sturgeon family (Acipenseridae), a group dating back to the Cretaceous. Like gars ( #GarWeek), sturgeon are sometimes called “primitive” because the way they look today is almost unchanged from fossil records dating back millions of years #25DaysofFishmas

Sturgeons are super cool genetically. They are “messy polyploids” (3x-5x) that can make viable hybrids across great phylo distances - just mixing “bags of chromosomes” not caring about their proper segregation later (eg pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...)

Anytime anyone mentions ancient fishes, sturgeons will always come up. Sturgeons are friends with the dinosaurs, dating their existence about 200 million years ago during the early Jurassic period. They belong to the Acipenseridae family, and have 27 different current species of sturgeon, which are separated into five groups; Acipenser, Huso, Scaphirhynchus, Sinosturio and Pseudoscaphirhynchus. They are scaleless fish that have…
