Abstract The Ponto-Caspian region is an endemicity hotspot that harbours several
crustacean radiations, among which amphipods are the most diverse. These poorly known …

Here, we combined archived mitochondrial sequences for Ponto-Caspian gobiids with new
sequences from the south Caspian basin to assess and evaluate its gobioid diversity and …

Reconstruction of fossil teleost faunas can provide important information on
palaeoenvironments, palaeogeography and evolution, and otoliths are particularly useful for …

Adequate species' identification is critical for the detection and monitoring of biological
invasions. In this study, we proposed and assessed the efficiency of newly created primer …

Otoliths (ear stones) of the inner ears of teleost fishes, which develop independently from the
skeleton and are functionally associated with hearing and the sense of equilibrium, have …

Articulated fossil fish skeletons with otoliths in situ provide a unique opportunity to link these
two, otherwise independent data sets of skeletons and otoliths. They provide calibration …

Sažetak Invasive Ponto-Caspian gobies (monkey goby Neogobius fluviatilis, round goby
Neogobius melanostomus and bighead goby Ponticola kessleri) have recently caused …

Background. Five species of Ponticola have hitherto been recognized among freshwater
gobies in the Ponto–Caspian basin. In 2014 a number of specimens representing this genus …

The Palawan archipelago is considered as the Philippines' last ecological frontier, a Man
and Biosphere Reserve, and a priority conservation area because of its high marine …

We describe here the first fossil otoliths from the Middle Miocene (Badenian and Sarmatian)
of Belgrade, Serbia. They were obtained from Lower Badenian outcrops at Slanci and from …
