Canagliflozin retards age-related lesions in heart, kidney, liver, and adrenal gland in genetically heterogenous male mice - Jessica M. Snyder; Kerriann M. Casey; Andrzej Galecki; David E. Harrison; Hashan Jayarathne; Navasuja Kumar; Francesca Macchiarini; Nadia Rosenthal; Marianna Sadagurski; Adam B. Salmon; Randy Strong; Richard A. Miller; et al. (GeroScience, 2023)
Canagliflozin (Cana), a clinically important anti-diabetes drug, leads to a 14% increase in median lifespan and a 9% increase in the 90th percentile age when given to genetically heterogeneous male mice from 7 months of age, but does not increase lifespan in female mice. A histopathological study was conducted on 22-month-old mice to see if Cana retarded diverse forms of age-dependent pathology. This agent was found to diminish incidence or severity, in male mice only, of cardiomyopathy, glomerulonephropathy, arteriosclerosis, hepatic microvesicular cytoplasmic vacuolation (lipidosis), and adrenal cortical neoplasms. Protection against atrophy of the exocrine pancreas was seen in both males and females. Thus, the extension of lifespan in Cana-treated male mice, which is likely to reflect host- or tumor-mediated delay in lethal neoplasms, is accompanied by parallel retardation of lesions, in multiple tissues, that seldom if ever lead to death in these mice. Canagliflozin thus can be considered a drug that acts to slow the aging process and should be evaluated for potential protective effects against many other late-life conditions.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia - Andrew P. Shinn; Annemarie Avenant‐Oldewage; Melba G. Bondad‐Reantaso; Armando J. Cruz‐Laufer; Adriana García‐Vásquez; Jesús S. Hernández‐Orts; Roman Kuchta; Matt Longshaw; Matthijs Metselaar; Antoine Pariselle; Gerardo Pérez‐Ponce de León; Pravata Kumar Pradhan; et al. (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2023)
Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia. Capture fisheries account for a further 723,627 tonnes of tilapia, and >47% of this is landed from established invasive populations outside Africa. Tilapias host a rich fauna of parasites, many of which have been translocated with their hosts. This review summarises >2500 host–parasite records from 73+ countries and >820 recorded tilapia translocations (provided in the supplementary materials). This work focuses on the notable pathogens that threaten the health of cultured populations of tilapia, providing a description of their pathology and includes species that also have substantial impacts on wild tilapia populations, where relevant. For each major parasite taxonomic group, we highlight which parasites have been translocated or have been acquired from the new environments into which tilapia have been introduced, together with remarks on standard treatment approaches and research on them and their management and control. Regarding the theme ‘Tilapia health: quo vadis ?’, Africa has enormous potential for aquaculture growth, but substantial knowledge gaps about tilapia parasites in many African states remain, which creates associated production and biosecurity risks. For each parasitic group, therefore, the risks of parasite translocation to new regions as tilapia aquaculture industries expand are highlighted.

Two New Families and a Literature Review of ELOVL4-Associated Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 34 - Masahiro Nishide; Kathleen Le Marquand; Mark R. Davis; Gábor M. Halmágyi; Avi Fellner; Ramesh K. Narayanan; Marina L. Kennerson; Stephen W. Reddel; Lisa Worgan; Peter K. Panegyres; Kishore R. Kumar (The Cerebellum, 2023)
Autosomal dominant variants in ELOVL4 cause spinocerebellar ataxia type 34 (SCA34; ATX- ELOVL4 ), classically associated with a skin condition known as erythrokeratoderma. Here, we report a large Italian-Maltese-Australian family with spinocerebellar ataxia. Notably, while there were dermatological manifestations (eczema), erythrokeratoderma was not present. Using a next-generation sequencing panel, we identified a previously reported ELOVL4 variant, NM_022726.4: c.698C > T p.(Thr233Met). The variant was initially classified as a variant of uncertain significance; however, through segregation studies, we reclassified the variant as likely pathogenic. We next identified an individual from another family (Algerian-Maltese-Australian) with the same ELOVL4 variant with spinocerebellar ataxia but without dermatological manifestations. We subsequently performed the first dedicated literature review of ELOVL4 -associated ataxia to gain further insights into genotype–phenotype relationships. We identified a total of 60 reported cases of SCA34 to date. The majority had gait ataxia (88.3%), limb ataxia (76.7%), dysarthria (63.3%), and nystagmus (58.3%). Of note, skin lesions related to erythrokeratoderma were seen in a minority of cases (33.3%). Other extracerebellar manifestations included pyramidal tract signs, autonomic disturbances, retinitis pigmentosa, and cognitive impairment. For brain MRI data, cerebellar atrophy was seen in all cases (100%), whereas the hot cross bun sign (typically associated with multiple system atrophy type C) was seen in 32.4% of cases. Our family study and literature review highlight the variable phenotypic spectrum of SCA34. Importantly, it shows that erythrokeratoderma is not found in most cases and that, while a dermatological assessment may be helpful in these patients, SCA34 diagnosis should be considered irrespective of dermatological manifestations.

Thymoquinone (TQ) is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective compound obtained from the black seed oil of Nigella sativa . However, high hydrophobicity, instability at higher pH levels, photosensitivity, and low oral bioavailability hinder its delivery to the target tissues. A self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) was fabricated using the microemulsification technique to address these issues. Its physicochemical properties, thermodynamic stability studies, drug release kinetics, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and hepatoprotective activity were evaluated. The droplet size was in the nano-range (< 90 nm). Zeta potential was measured to be −11.35 mV, signifying the high stability of the oil droplets. In vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation showed a fourfold increase in the bioavailability of TQ-SNEDDS over pure TQ. Furthermore, in a PCM-induced animal model, TQ-SNEDDS demonstrated significant ( p < 0.05) hepatoprotective activity compared to pure TQ and silymarin. Reduction in liver biomarker enzymes and histopathological examinations of liver sections further supported the results. In this study, SNEDDS was demonstrated to be an improved oral delivery method for TQ, since it potentiates hepatotoxicity and enhances bioavailability. Graphical abstract

How can diverse national food and land-use priorities be reconciled with global sustainability targets? Lessons from the FABLE initiative - Aline Mosnier; Guido Schmidt-Traub; Michael Obersteiner; Sarah Jones; Valeria Javalera-Rincon; Fabrice DeClerck; Marcus Thomson; Frank Sperling; Paula Harrison; Katya Pérez-Guzmán; Gordon Carlos McCord; Javier Navarro-Garcia; et al. (Sustainability Science, 2023)
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and Energy—Consortium to reconcile both global and national elements for developing national food and land-use system pathways. This approach includes three key features: (1) global targets, (2) country-driven multi-objective pathways, and (3) multiple iterations of pathway refinement informed by both national and international impacts. This approach strengthens policy coherence and highlights where greater national and international ambition is needed to achieve global goals (e.g., the SDGs). We discuss how this could be used to support future climate and biodiversity negotiations and what further developments would be needed.

Sustainable management of transboundary pests requires holistic and inclusive solutions - Boddupalli M. Prasanna; Monica Carvajal-Yepes; P. Lava Kumar; Nozomi Kawarazuka; Yanyan Liu; Annet Abenakyo Mulema; Steven McCutcheon; Xenina Ibabao (Food Security, 2022)
Globalization and changing climates are aggravating the occurrence and impacts of transboundary pests, and driving the emergence of new threats. Most of the low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America are not fully prepared in terms of surveillance, diagnostics, and deployment of plant health solutions due to several factors: adequate investment is lacking; knowledge is inadequate; and connections from the local to global, and global to local are insufficient. Effectively countering the current and emerging threats to plant health requires a holistic approach that includes: 1) globally coordinated diagnostic and surveillance systems; 2) epidemiological modelling, risk assessment, forecasting and preparedness for proactive management and containment; and 3) implementation of context-sensitive, eco-friendly, gender-responsive and socially inclusive integrated disease and pest management approaches to reduce the impacts of devastating transboundary pests and diseases. Despite several success stories where major pests and diseases have been brought to control through integrated approaches, further multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary efforts are necessary. Plant health management requires stronger interface between the biophysical and social sciences, and empowerment of local communities. These reflections derive from the proceedings of a webinar on “Transboundary Disease and Pest Management,” organized by CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research) on March 3, 2021, in recognition of the United Nations designated International Year of Plant Health.

Positive intercropping effects on biomass production are species-specific and involve rhizosphere enzyme activities: Evidence from a field study - Amit Kumar; Evgenia Blagodaskaya; Michaela A. Dippold; Vicky M. Temperton (Soil Ecology Letters, 2022)
Less attention has been given to soil enzymes that contribute to beneficial rhizosphere interactions in intercropping systems. Therefore, we performed a field experiment by growing faba bean, lupine, and maize in mono and mixed cultures in a moderately fertile soil. We measured shoot biomass and the kinetic parameters (maximal velocity ( V max ) and Michaelis-constant ( K m )) of three key enzymes in the rhizosphere: Leucine-aminopeptidase (LAP), β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), and phosphomonoesterase (PHO). Faba bean benefitted in mixed cultures by greater shoot biomass production with both maize and lupine compared to its expected biomass in monoculture. Next, LAP and NAG kinetic parameters were less responsive to mono and mixed cultures across the crop species. In contrast, both the V max and K m values of PHO increased in the faba bean rhizosphere when grown in mixed cultures with maize and lupine. A positive relative interaction index for shoot P and N uptake for faba bean showed its net facilitative interactions in the mixed cultures. Overall, these results suggest that over-productivity in intercropping is crop-specific and the positive intercropping effects could be modulated by P availability. We argue that the enzyme activities involved in nutrient cycling should be incorporated in further research.

Future precipitation projection in Bangladesh using SimCLIM climate model: A multi‐model ensemble approach - H. M. Touhidul Islam; Abu Reza Md. Towfiqul Islam; Shamsuddin Shahid; G. M. Monirul Alam; Jatish Chandra Biswas; Md. Mizanur Rahman; Dilip Kumar Roy; Mohammad Kamruzzaman (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Appraisal of the long‐term precipitation trends and variability is crucial for sustainable water resources management. This research intended to evaluate Bangladesh's monthly, seasonal, and annual spatiotemporal rainfall variability using 40 global climate models for two representative concentration pathways (RCPs), RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Statistical downscaling climate model (SimCLIM) was used for downscaling and ensemble projection of rainfall in near (2011–2040), middle (2041–2070), and far (2071–2100) futures. Modified Mann–Kendall test was applied to detect future rainfall trends. The results revealed a significant increasing trend in rainfall in near and middle futures for RCP4.5 and in all three future periods for RCP8.5 at all meteorological stations of Bangladesh during significant rainfall months (May–October). The results also showed a decreasing trend in rainfall in dry months (December–January) at many stations. The highest increase in rainfall was projected in June at a rate of 0.10–1.11 mm·year −1 for RCP4.5 and 3.34–4.98 mm·year −1 for RCP8.5 in different future periods. Monsoon rainfall showed the highest increase, and winter rainfall the lowest increase for all RCPs and future periods. The increase in annual precipitation over Bangladesh was projected 2.76–5.98% in three future periods for RCP4.5 and 6.98–26.44% for RCP8.5. These outcomes indicate a possible increase in floods severity and frequency in Bangladesh in the future.

Comparison of macroalgae meadows in warm Atlantic versus cold Arctic regimes in the high-Arctic Svalbard - Józef M. Wiktor; Agnieszka Tatarek; Aleksandra Kruss; Rakesh Kumar Singh; Józef M. Wiktor; Janne E. Søreide (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
A warmer Arctic with less sea ice will likely improve macroalgae growth conditions, but observational data to support this hypothesis are scarce. In this study, we combined hydroacoustic and video inspections to compare the depth of growth, density and thickness of macroalgae (>10 cm) meadows in two contrasting climate regimes in Svalbard 1) the warm, ice free, Atlantic influenced West Spitsbergen and 2) the cold, Arctic and seasonal ice covered East Spitsbergen. Both places had similar insolation and comparable turbidity levels. Macroalgae communities at both places were similar and were formed mainly by common north Atlantic kelp species: Saccharina latissima, Alaria esculenta, Laminaria digitata and L. hyperborea . However, the density of the bottom coverage and thalli condition were strikingly different between the two sites. Algae at the warmer site were intact and fully developed and occupied most of the available hard substrate. At the colder site, only patchy macroalgae canopies were found and most thallies were physically damaged and trimmed at a uniform height due to physical ice scouring. These differences in macroalgal density and thalli condition were only found at depths down to 5 m. Deeper, no distinct differences were observed between the warm and cold sites. Sea urchins were only observed at the warm site, but in few numbers with no visible negative top-down control on macroalgae growth.

Hydrogel composite containing azelaic acid and tea tree essential oil as a therapeutic strategy for Propionibacterium and testosterone-induced acne - Alpna Bisht; Chetna Hemrajani; Charul Rathore; Tania Dhiman; Rajan Rolta; Navneet Upadhyay; Prakriti Nidhi; Gaurav Gupta; Kamal Dua; Dinesh Kumar Chellappan; Kamal Dev; Anuradha Sourirajan; et al. (Drug Delivery and Translational Research, 2022)
Azelaic acid (AzA) is a USFDA bioactive prescribed against acne vulgaris . It possesses delivery challenges like poor aqueous solubility, low skin-penetrability, and dose-dependent side effects, which could be overcome by its synergistic combination with tea tree oil (TTO) as a microemulsion (ME)-based hydrogel composite. AzA-TTO ME was prepared to employ pseudo-ternary phase diagram construction. The best AzA-TTO ME was of uniform size (polydispersity index < 0.7), nano-range (~357.4 ± 2% nm), transmittance (> 90%), and negative zeta potential (−1.42 ± 0.25% mV) values. ME hydrogel composite with optimum rheological and textural attributes showed better permeation, retention, and skin-compliant characteristics, vis-a-vis marketed formulation (Aziderm™) when evaluated in Wistar rat skin. In vitro antibacterial efficacy in bacterial strains, i.e., Staphylococcus aureus , Propionibacterium acne , and Staphylococcus epidermidis , was evaluated employing agar well plate diffusion and broth dilution assay. ME hydrogel has shown an increase in zone of inhibition by two folds and a decrease in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by eightfold against P. acnes vis-a-vis AzA. Finally, ME hydrogel composite exhibited a better reduction in the papule density (93.75 ± 1.64%) in comparison to Aziderm™ 72.69 ± 4.67%) on acne as developed in rats by inducing testosterone. Thus, the developed AzA-TTO ME hydrogel composite promises an efficacious and comparatively safer drug delivery system for the topical therapy of acne vulgaris . Graphical abstract

Anticancer potential of Spirastrella pachyspira (marine sponge) against SK-BR-3 human breast cancer cell line and in silico analysis of its bioactive molecule sphingosine - Shabna Roupal Morais; Chitra K; Srikanth Jeyabalan; Ling Shing Wong; Mahendran Sekar; Kumarappan Chidambaram; Siew Hua Gan; M. Yasmin Begum; Nur Najihah Izzati Mat Rani; Vetriselvan Subramaniyan; Shivkanya Fuloria; Neeraj Kumar Fuloria; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The rate of breast cancer is rapidly increasing and discovering medications with therapeutic effects play a significant role in women’s health. Drugs derived from marine sponges have recently received FDA approval for the treatment of malignant tumors, including metastatic breast cancer. Spirastrella pachyspira (marine sponge) is mainly obtained from the western coastal region of India, and its anticancer potential has not been explored. Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate the anticancer potential of Spirastrella pachyspira extracts and its bioactive molecule sphingosine. The extracts were prepared using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The cytotoxic potential of the extracts were determined by an in-vitro MTT assay using SK-BR-3 cancer cell line. Subsequently, acute toxicity investigation was conducted in Swiss albino mice. Then, the anticancer effects of the extract was investigated in a xenograft model of SK-BR-3 caused breast cancer. DAPI staining was used to assess the extract’s ability to induce apoptosis. In addition, in-silico study was conducted on sphingosine with extracellular site of HER2. The ethyl acetate extract of Spirastrella pachyspira (IC 50 : 0.04 µg/ml) showed comparable anticancer effects with standard doxorubicin (IC 50 : 0.054 µg/ml). The LD 50 of the extracts in acute toxicity testing was fund to be 2000 mg/kg b.wt. The survival index of mice in ethanol extract was 83.33%, whereas that of standard doxirubicin was 100%, indicating that ethyl acetate extract Spirastrella pachyspira has good antiproliferative/cytotoxic properties. The results were well comparable with standard doxorubicin. Further, the docking studies of sphingosine against HER2 demonstrated that the bioactive molecule engage with the extracellular region of HER2 and block the protein as also shown by standard trastuzumab. The findings of this research suggest that Spirastrella pachyspira and sphingosine may be potential candidate for the treatments of breast cancer, particularly for HER2 positive cells. Overall, the present results demonstrate that sphingosine looks like a promising molecule for the development of new drugs for the treatment of cancer. However, in order to carefully define the sphingosine risk-benefit ratio, future research should focus on evaluating in-vivo and clinical anticancer studies. This will involve balancing both their broad-spectrum effectiveness and their toxicity.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Load-Bearing Mechanisms of Piles Socketed in Soft Rocks - Arun Kumar Murali; Khoa M. Tran; Asadul Haque; Ha H. Bui (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2022)
Rock-socket pile design predominantly depends on the shaft resistance to support the load at the serviceability state. However, due to limited understanding of the pile–rock interactions, the pile capacity is normally calculated using empirical correlations. In this study, the load-bearing mechanisms of rock-socketed piles were investigated through a miniaturised pile–load test setup in a soft synthetic rock. X-ray CT imaging and numerical discrete element modelling were used to investigate the micro-mechanics influencing the load-bearing mechanisms at the pile–rock interface. The numerical pile model was established based on suitable constitutive models capable of simulating the soft rock behaviour. The analysis of X-ray CT images at various displacements revealed three different interface mechanisms, namely sliding, local shearing and progressive shearing. The numerical model validated this observed micro-mechanics in the rock asperities through the evolution of damage and micro-cracks. Insights from the experimental and numerical results indicated that the height of the rock asperities significantly dictates the failure mode. Results also illustrated that the shaft load–displacement response primarily depends on the forces acting on the leading edges of the pile asperity. In particular, it was observed that the bottom leading edge carried a predominant portion of the shaft loads due to its connectivity with the rock at the base of the pile. Though negligible, the forces on the trailing edges provided valuable information on the contribution of residual shaft resistance by the debris at the interface. Moreover, the numerical studies revealed the different failure modes at the pile–rock interface. The discussions presented in this study provide novel insights into the load-bearing mechanisms of piles socketed in soft rocks, which will help to improve design guidelines in the future.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily characterized by inflammation and reversible bronchoconstriction. It is currently one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Oxidative stress further complicates the pathology of the disease. The current treatment strategies for asthma mainly involve the use of anti-inflammatory agents and bronchodilators. However, long-term usage of such medications is associated with severe adverse effects and complications. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop newer, novel, and safe treatment modalities for the management of asthma. This has therefore prompted further investigations and detailed research to identify and develop novel therapeutic interventions from potent untapped resources. This review focuses on the significance of oxidative stressors that are primarily derived from both mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial sources in initiating the clinical features of asthma. The review also discusses the biological scavenging system of the body and factors that may lead to its malfunction which could result in altered states. Furthermore, the review provides a detailed insight into the therapeutic role of nutraceuticals as an effective strategy to attenuate the deleterious effects of oxidative stress and may be used in the mitigation of the cardinal features of bronchial asthma.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) results in persistent clinical deficits which prevent survivors from returning to normal daily functioning. Only a small fraction of the variation in clinical outcome following aSAH is explained by known clinical, demographic and imaging variables; meaning additional unknown factors must play a key role in clinical outcome. There is a growing body of evidence that genetic variation is important in determining outcome following aSAH. Understanding genetic determinants of outcome will help to improve prognostic modelling, stratify patients in clinical trials and target novel strategies to treat this devastating disease. This protocol details a two-stage genome-wide association study to identify susceptibility loci for clinical outcome after aSAH using individual patient-level data from multiple international cohorts. Clinical outcome will be assessed using the modified Rankin Scale or Glasgow Outcome Scale at 1–24 months. The stage 1 discovery will involve meta-analysis of individual-level genotypes from different cohorts, controlling for key covariates. Based on statistical significance, supplemented by biological relevance, top single nucleotide polymorphisms will be selected for replication at stage 2. The study has national and local ethical approval. The results of this study will be rapidly communicated to clinicians, researchers and patients through open-access publication(s), presentation(s) at international conferences and via our patient and public network.

Cancer is a most common cause of mortality globally. Available medicines possess severe side effects owing to their non-specific targeting. Hence, there is a need of an alternative in the healthcare system that should have high efficacy with the least side effects, also having the ability to achieve site-specific targeting and be reproducible. This is possible with the help of fullerenes. Fullerenes are having the unique physicochemical and photosensitizer properties. This article discusses the synthesis, functionalization, mechanism, various properties, and applications of C60 fullerenes in the treatment of cancer. The review article also addresses the various factors influencing the activity of fullerenes including the environmental conditions, toxicity profile, and future prospective. Graphical abstract

Berberine-loaded liquid crystalline nanoparticles inhibit non-small cell lung cancer proliferation and migration in vitro - Keshav R.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is reported to have a high incidence rate and is one of the most prevalent types of cancer contributing towards 85% of all incidences of lung cancer. Berberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid which offers a broad range of therapeutical and pharmacological actions against cancer. However, extremely low water solubility and poor oral bioavailability have largely restricted its therapeutic applications. To overcome these limitations, we formulated berberine-loaded liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNs) and investigated their in vitro antiproliferative and antimigratory activity in human lung epithelial cancer cell line (A549). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), trypan blue staining, and colony forming assays were used to evaluate the anti-proliferative activity, while scratch wound healing assay and a modified Boyden chamber assay were carried out to determine the anti-migratory activity. We also investigated major proteins associated with lung cancer progression. The developed nanoparticles were found to have an average particle size of 181.3 nm with spherical shape, high entrapment efficiency (75.35%) and have shown sustained release behaviour. The most remarkable findings reported with berberine-loaded LCNs were significant suppression of proliferation, inhibition of colony formation, inhibition of invasion or migration via epithelial mesenchymal transition, and proliferation related proteins associated with cancer progression. Our findings suggest that anti-cancer compounds with the problem of poor solubility and bioavailability can be overcome by formulating them into nanotechnology-based delivery systems for better efficacy. Further in-depth investigations into anti-cancer mechanistic research will expand and strengthen the current findings of berberine-LCNs as a potential NSCLC treatment option.

Resolved and Redeemed: A New Fleck to the Evolutionary Divergence in the Genus Scomberomorus Lacepède, 1801 (Scombridae) With Cryptic Speciation - N. S. Jeena; Summaya Rahuman; Subal Kumar Roul; P.

The genus Scomberomorus , with 18 nominal species, sustains a significant heterogeneous fishery throughout its range. The sole molecular systematic study of this genus concerned the species group S. regalis , which contains the new world taxa. The species diversity of Scomberomorus in the northern Indian Ocean has not been studied at the molecular level, often leading to misidentifications. Here, novel genetic data are provided that reconfigure species boundaries from the region. We used single and multilocus data (eight mitochondrial and three nuclear genes) to infer phylogenetic relationships, species delimitation, and the resurrection of a time-calibrated phylogenetic tree. Our aim was also to verify the hypothesis of geographical races in S. guttatus predicated on variable vertebral counts. Interestingly, all species delimitation analyses have recovered another highly cryptic species in the nominal S. guttatus previously believed to have an Indo-Pacific distribution . Scomberomorus guttatus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) in the sensu stricto , is redeemed from its type locality based on genetic data and preliminary morphomeristic investigations and has a restricted distribution in the Bay of Bengal. The cryptic species Scomberomorus aff. guttatus which exhibits >10% genetic divergence from S. guttatus is resurrected here from the synonymy of the latter as Scomberomorus leopardus (Shaw, 1803). Widespread in the Indo-Pacific, this species contains two major molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) with a divergence threshold of over 2% between them. Our analysis suggests that vertebral counts must be coupled with other features to identify the species/lineages in the nominal S. guttatus. The heterogeneity in the S. guttatus species group is discussed in relation to the ecological diversity of the region which facilitates larval recruitment and niche specialization. The results also revealed two allopatric putative species in S. commerson , found primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This study added genetic data from S. lineolatus and S. koreanus , not previously represented in the sequence repositories. Estimation of divergence time indicated that the Indo-West Pacific species group undergoes multiple diversification events besides the recent splits detected within S . leopardus .
