http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/9417898http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia contains a remarkable flock of 29 species of teleost fishes of the suborder Cottoidei (sculpins, bullheads) that are endemic to the lake and its associated rivers and occupy all depth habitats down to over 1500 m. The species are divided into three families, the Cottidae with 7 species, the Abyssocottidae with 20 species, and the Comephoridae with 2 species. Nucleotide sequences of the rod opsin gene from 12 of these species, plus a non-Baikal marine species, have been used to examine the evolutionary relations and the divergence time of the flock. Phylogenetic trees, generated by neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony, indicate that the unique Comephoridae family with its viviparity and unusual appearance is closely related to the Cottidae and Abyssocottidae, whereas the genus Cottocomephorus, at present placed in the Cottidae, was the first to diverge from the ancestral species and forms a separate lineage. The major adaptation to deep water would appear to be of relatively recent origin, and there is evidence that the ancestral species occupied a shallow-water-marine or brackish habitat. Estimates of antiquity obtained from synonymous substitutions place the origin of the species flock at around 4.9 million years ago."xsd:string
