Mediterranean endemic freshwater fish are among the most threatened biota in the world.
The Mediterranean basin has experienced substantial reductions in precipitation and water …

The phylogenetic relationships of 106 European cyprinid taxa were determined based on
the complete nucleotide sequence (1140 bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. The …

Background Leuciscinae is a subfamily belonging to the Cyprinidae fish family that is widely
distributed in Circum-Mediterranean region. Many efforts have been carried out to …

In order for biodiversity to be conserved, it is important to know how and where diverse
populations of plants and animals exist, to understand the effects of human impacts on them …

Aim To analyse the patterns in species richness and endemism of the native European
riverine fish fauna, in the light of the Messinian salinity crisis and the Last Glacial Maximum …

As the physiography and hydrology of the Ethiopian Rift Valley are characterized in the other
chapters of this volume and were previously considered by Riedel (1962h), Prosser et …

The phylogenetic relationships among 26 species of the subgenus Luciobarbus were
examined through comparison of the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genes …

Aim The geological evolution of the Mediterranean region is largely the result of the Tertiary
collision of the African and Eurasian Plates, but also a mosaic of migrating island arcs …

The phylogenetic relationships among all Iberian endemic cyprinids were inferred using the
complete nucleotide sequence of the cytochrome b gene. The inferred molecular phylogeny …

We investigated phylogenetic relationships among north Mediterranean species of the
genus Barbus using sequences of the cytochrome b gene. Our results indicate that the …
