The paper presents an analysis of biogeographic and habitat distribution patterns, the conservation status data Adriatic fishes, based on last published checklist evidence-based critical analyses species presence. total number recorded in is 449. has 58.8% Mediterranean richness, 76.1% its families, 87.8% orders. Among discovered after 2010, twelve were attributed to biological invasion, mostly...

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were used to reconstruct evolutionary relationships of conspecific populations in four species of freshwater fish-Amia calva, Lepomis punctatus, L. gulosus, and L. microlophus. A suite of 14-17 endonucleases was employed to assay mtDNAs from 305 specimens collected from 14 river drainages extending from South Carolina to Lou...

The Missouri Cave Life Database contains 927 species and about 12,500 observation and collection records. About 1,038 (17%) of Missouri’s 6,200 caves and cave springs are biocaves with at least one species record, but only 491 sites (8%) have five or more species recorded. Missouri has 82 troglobites (67 described, 15 undescribed), including 49 aquatic and 33 terrestrial species. The aquatics i...
