Acknowledgements: This study is dedicated to Dr John E. Randall. Without his instruction on the taxonomy and colour phases of parrotfishes, the first author would not have been able to undertake such a study. Research support was through the Queensland Government/Smithsonian Institution (STRI) Collaborative Funding to J.H.C and D.R.R, the National Geographic Grant Program to J.H.C and D.R.R., and by the JCU internal funding scheme and Program Grants. Logistic support for the sampling program was provided by the Seychelles Fisheries Authority and the research vessel ‘L'Amitie’; the University of Guam Marine Laboratory; West Australian Fisheries, Lizard Island Research Station, (Australian Museum); National Museum Of Marine Science & Technology Taiwan Keelung; Instituto Nacional de Pesca y Acuicultura of Venezuela; the Department of Fisheries, Bahamas; the Bermuda Fisheries Department; the Bermuda Biological Station for Research; Caribbean Marine Research Centre at Lee Stocking Island; Cocos Keeling and Christmas Island National Parks Department of Environment and Heritage Australia; Sultan Qaboos University Oman; King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Saudi Arabia; and Silliman University Marine Laboratory, Philippines. Additional material was provided by Bishop Museum, Hawaii (J. E. Randall, A. Y. Suzumoto) National Museum of Marine Science & Technology Taiwan (Li Shu Chen), The Australian Museum (M.

N2 - Phylogenetic reconstruction of the evolutionary relationships among 61 of the 70 species of the parrotfish genera Chlorurus and Scarus (Family Labridae) based on mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences retrieved 15 well-supported clades with mid Pliocene/Pleistocene diversification. Twenty-two reciprocally monophyletic sister-species pairs were identified: 64% were allopatric, and the remainder were sympatric. Age of divergence was similar for allopatric and sympatric species pairs. Sympatric sister pairs displayed greater divergence in morphology, ecology, and sexually dimorphic colour patterns than did allopatric pairs, suggesting that both genetic drift in allopatric species pairs and ecologically adaptive divergence between members of sympatric pairs have played a role in diversification. Basal species typically have small geographical ranges and are restricted to geographically and ecologically peripheral reef habitats. We found little evidence that a single dominant process has driven diversification, nor did we detect a pattern of discrete, sequential stages of diversification in relation to habitat, ecology, and reproductive biology. The evolution of Chlorurus and Scarus has been complex, involving a number of speciation processes. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London.
