Quaternary Pattern of Freshwater Fishes in Europe: Comparative Phylogeography and Conservation Perspective
The phylogeographic studies of unrelated species that share overlapping distributions lead to new perspectives. Indeed, if different species with similar distributions shared the same phylogeographic pattern, then a common extrinsic cause could be proposed, involving some important issues for species conservation. Considering different mitochondrial studies of European freshwater fishes (threat...
متن کاملThe importance of sound effect assessment in the Iranian freshwater endemic fishes
Endemic fishes are part of the genetic resources in aquatic habitats. The Caspian Sea, as the largest lake in the world, has a unique habitat diversity and is of great importance for the countries of the region. Over the recent decades, with the increase in the level of anthropogenic sound, its effects on freshwater and marine fishes have been considered by fisheries managers and stakeholders. ...
متن کاملOccurance of Gyrodactylus spp (Monogenea: Gyrodactylidae) from Iranian freshwater fishes
Thirty three Gyrodactylus spp have been found on the gills and body surface of both wild and farmed freshwater fishes in Iran. Among them nine species have been identified up to the species level, which are new locality records. The identification of the others, mainly belong to endemic wild freshwater fishes, need further studies. Among the known species, Gyrodactylus derjavini (Mikhailov, 197...
متن کاملIsolation and differentiation of Rivulus hartii across Trinidad and neighboring islands.
Diversification of freshwater fishes on islands is considered unlikely because the traits that enable successful colonization-specifically, broad salinity tolerances and the potential for oceanic dispersal-may also constrain post-colonization genetic differentiation. Some secondary freshwater fish, however, exhibit pronounced genetic differentiation and geographic structure on islands, whereas ...
متن کاملSynopsis of the Parasites in Iranian Freshwater Fishes
Two hundred forty seven species of parasites from Iranian freshwater fishes are presented in this synopsis. The parasites were recorded from infestations in fish from different parts of the country and summarized according to host species, organs were the parasite infestations occurred, province, faunal region and reference numbers. The following aspects of parasite infestations were also dis...
