Phylogenetic divergence in leatherside chub (Gila copei) inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences.
We examined intra-specific phylogenetic relationships in leatherside chub, Gila copei. The complete mitochondrial (mt) cytochrome b gene (1140 bp) was sequenced for 30 individuals from 10 populations that span the geographical distribution of this species. Traditional phylogenetic analyses revealed two deeply divergent and evolutionarily distinct mtDNA clades that are geographically separated i...
متن کاملNeglected taxonomy of rare desert fishes: congruent evidence for two species of leatherside chub.
Conservation biologists rely heavily on taxonomy to set the scope for biological monitoring and recovery planning of rare or threatened species. Yet, taxonomic boundaries are seldom evaluated as falsifiable hypotheses that can be statistically tested. Here, we examine species boundaries in leatherside chub (Teleostei, Cyprinidae), an imperiled desert fish native to the Bonneville Basin and uppe...
متن کاملVariation in intrinsic individual growth rate among populations of leatherside chub (Snyderichthys copei Jordan & Gilbert): adaptation to temperature or length of growing season?
Leatherside chub (Snyderichthyes copei Jordan & Gilbert) comprises two lineages (northern and southern) whose centres of geographical range differ by about 3 latitude corresponding to about 30% shorter growing season and about 2 C lower mean temperature during the growing season. We document patterns of variation in sizeat-age among populations of leatherside chub in nature, and we test for var...
متن کاملMolecular detection of Leptospira spp. in the urine of cattle in northern Iran
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, caused by Leptospira interrogans and is considered as an emerging global public health problem. Transmission usually results from direct or indirect exposure to the urine or other body fluids of leptospiruric animals which may become a source of infection for human or other animals. Having a humid climate with plenty of annual rainfall, Gui...
متن کاملSpecies detection using environmental DNA from water samples.
The assessment of species distribution is a first critical phase of biodiversity studies and is necessary to many disciplines such as biogeography, conservation biology and ecology. However, several species are difficult to detect, especially during particular time periods or developmental stages, potentially biasing study outcomes. Here we present a novel approach, based on the limited persist...
