Morphological key for the identification of southern African Synodontis species Cuvier, 1816 (Teleostei, Mochokidae)
The identification of the southern African Synodontis species is hampered by variable and overlapping morphological characteristics such as colour, pigmentation patterns and morphometric ratios. Species are often misidentified due to the complicated nature of the present identification keys. The proposed morphological key in this note uses simplified characters (e.g. the shape of the humeral pr...
متن کاملInvestigation of species diversity of the Minnows (Cypriniformes: Leuciscinae) in the Caspian Sea basin, Iran using molecular approach
The Caspian Sea basin is one of the most important ecosystems in Iran with a high diversity of different aquatic species, so that the issue of determining the taxonomy its fishes has always been considered. Up to now, a total of 297 species of freshwater and brackish fish have been reported from Iran where the subfamily Leuciscinae (minnows) has a high diversity of species in the Caspian Sea ba...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Study of Haemonchus Species from Iran Based On Morpho-Molecular Characterization
BACKGROUND Haemonchosis has a negative effect on the farming industry throughout the world, especially in the tropic and sub-tropic countries. The present study was carried out to differentiate Haemonchus species from its main hosts in Iran, including sheep, goat and camel. METHODS The identification took place based on the morphometrics of the spicules and molecular characters. Two hundred s...
متن کاملContribution to the molecular systematics of the genus Capoeta from the south Caspian Sea basin using mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
Traditionally, Capoeta populations from the southern Caspian Sea basin have been considered as Capoeta capoeta gracilis. Study on the phylogenetic relationship of Capoeta species using mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences show that Capoeta population from the southern Caspian Sea basin is distinct species and receive well support (posterior probability of 100%). Based on the tree topologie...
متن کاملA new species of the genus Capoeta Valenciennes, 1842 from the Caspian Sea basin in Iran (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)
A new species of algae-scraping cyprinid of the genus Capoeta Valenciennes, 1842 is described from the Kheyroud River, located in the southern part of the Caspian Sea basin in Iran. The species differs from other members of this genus by a combination of the following characters: one pair of barbels; predorsal length equal to postdorsal length; maxillary barbel slightly smaller than eye's horiz...
