Evolutionary and biogeographical patterns within Iberian populations of the genus Squalius inferred from molecular data.
Origins and biogeography of the chub, genus Squalius (formerly within the genus Leuciscus), in the Iberian Peninsula were inferred from comparison between patterns of geographic distribution and phylogenetic relationships among populations belonging to 14 European Squalius species. The phylogeny recovered was based on the complete sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Squalius specie...

Hemorrhoisravergieri ازجمله مارهای با پراکنش وسیع در ایران است. تحقیقات اخیر تمایزات ظاهری قابل توجهی را بین نمونه های موجود در زیستگاه های مختلف نشان داده است. دراین پژوهش، تفاوت های ریختی این گونه در جمعیت های مختلف مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. بدین منظور، 52 نمونه مار پلنگی شامل 30 نر، 16 ماده و 6 نابالغ از12 استان جمع آوری گردید. نت...
متن کاملMorphological variation in a secondary contact between divergent lineages of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the Iberian Peninsula
The aim of this study was to analyze the morphological variation of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the Duero basin, an Atlantic river basin in the Iberian Peninsula, where a spatial segregation of two divergent lineages was previously reported, based on isozyme, microsatellite and mtDNA data. In these studies, two divergent pure regions (Pisuerga and Lower-course) and several hybrid populations ...
متن کاملMorphology matches mtDNA lineages in the southern smooth snake (Coronella girondica) from Iberia.
The rise of molecular techniques in the study of evolutionary histories has resulted in a gradual abandonment of morphological characters as the only sources of phylogenetic inference. However, morphological characters may be valuable for phylogenetic reconstruction, especially for tracking adaptive changes across phylogeographic groups defined by genetic markers. We examined the discriminative...
متن کاملAn integrative systematic revision and biogeography of Rhynchocalamus snakes (Reptilia, Colubridae) with a description of a new species from Israel
BACKGROUND The colubrid snakes of the genus Rhynchocalamus are seldom studied and knowledge of their ecology and life history is scarce. Three species of Rhynchocalamus are currently recognized, R. satunini (from Turkey eastwards to Iran), R. arabicus (Yemen and Oman), and R. melanocephalus (from the Sinai Peninsula northwards to Turkey). All are slender, secretive, mainly nocturnal and rare fo...
