Abstract Incomplete knowledge of biodiversity remains a stumbling block for conservation planning and even occurs within globally important Biodiversity Hotspots (BH). Although technical advances have boosted the power molecular assessments, link between DNA sequences species analytics to discriminate entities remain crucial. Here, we present an analysis first barcode library freshwater fish fauna Mediterranean BH (526 spp.), with virtually complete coverage (498 spp., 98% extant species)....
As the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current potential Invasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an exploration threats, is considered a fundamental component IAS management. By combining scientific knowledge on taxa with expert opinion, we identified most relevant aquatic in Iberian Peninsula, i.e., those greatest geographic extent (or probability introduction), severe...
We present a phylogenetic investigation of the Northern Clade, major monophyletic clade within freshwater fish family Cobitidae, one most prominent families fishes found in Asian and European waters. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on cytochrome b RAG-1 genes show genera Microcobitis, Sabanejewia, Koreocobitis Kichulchoia as groups. These also Cobitis sensu lato Misgurnus group. The group includes all species Cobitis, Iksookimia, Niwaella Kichulchoia, while Misgurnus, Paramisgurnus...
Species of the genus Dormitator, also known as sleepers, are representatives amphidromous freshwater fish fauna that inhabit tropical and subtropical coastal environments Americas Western Africa. Because distribution this genus, it could be hypothesized evolutionary patterns in including a pair geminate species across Central American Isthmus, explained by vicariance following break-up Gondwana. However, history group has not been evaluated. We constructed time-scaled molecular phylogeny...
The Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe, is home to a distinctive freshwater fish fauna, predominantly composed of endemic species. This consequence the prolonged isolation from western Europe caused by Pyrenees, diverse geological and climatic gradients, river basins. Freshwater diadromous fishes have diversified Peninsula include 72 currently recognized native species, 50 which are region. Habitat loss degradation, introduction invasive climate change placed among most threatened...
Abstract: Interspecific gene flow may profoundly impact genome integrity and adaptive evolution in hybridizing species, leading to novelties such as transgressive traits, supergenes, or, sometimes, the emergence of asexually reproducing lineages. Conventionally, introgression is thought proceed between reproductively interacting mediated by recombining interspecific hybrids, while asexual lineages are considered evolutionary deadlock for genomes trapped them. Our study on Cobitis loaches...
Aim Geomorphic evolution of river basins can shape the structure and diversity aquatic communities, but understanding biological significance basin be challenging in semi-arid regions with ephemeral or endorheic conditions complex drainage configurations such as Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) North America. In this study, we characterized range-wide patterns genetic variation Mexican stoneroller (Campostoma ornatum) to infer how orogenic erosional influences on connectivity have given rise...
This study represents a thorough analysis of Codoma, monotypic genus endemic to north‐western Mexico. A previous morphological the species concluded that there exists several groups in Codoma ornata , suggesting diversity could be underestimated. No studies have examined genetic test this hypothesis and identify independent lineages. We present phylogeographic using one mitochondrial two nuclear genes, specimens from across nine major drainages both Chihuahuan Desert Sierra Madre Occidental...
