occurrence of lernaea parasite in a narrow distributed endemic fish, chondrostoma orientale (oriental nase) restricted to the kor river basin, southwestern iran is reported. based on the obtained results, all three collected specimens (tl= 174-192mm, sl= 148-169mm) were infested with lernaea parasites which were attached to the base of dorsal, pectoral, caudal and pelvic fins and also body musc...

distribution of the genus chondrostoma in iran, which is mostly known from the caspian sea, tigris river, kor river and esfahan basins was mapped. the kura nase, chondrostoma cyri is reported from armenia, georgia and iran and it is found in the streams and rivers draining to the western coast of the caspian sea from the kuma river in the north southward to the kura and aras river basins in the...

A list of world species for subgenera of Philosepedon Eaton, including Philosepedon s. str., Trichosepedon Krek, and Philothreticus Krek is given, and the subgenus Bahisepedon subgen. nov. is proposed to include some western hemisphere species. Philosepedon wagneri nom. nov. is proposed to replace P. orientale Wagner, a homonym of P. orientale Krek. Two new species from Europe, Philosepedon dum...

We tested different hypotheses related to the origin and evolution of the endemic Iberian fishes Chondrostoma arcasii and Chondrostoma macrolepidotus from northern and central regions of the Iberian Peninsula. We evaluated the monophyly of the populations within each species and sought to determine if diversification of the populations coincided in time with the formation of the Iberian drainag...

[1] New maps of kilometer-scale topographic roughness and concavity of the Moon reveal a very distinctive roughness signature of the proximal ejecta deposits of the Orientale basin (the Hevelius Formation). No other lunar impact basin, even the just-preceding Imbrium basin, is characterized by this type of signature although most have similar types of ejecta units and secondary crater structure...

Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the genus Chondrostoma (Cyprinidae: Leuciscinae) were unable to resolve the relationship among its major species groups. In this paper we present a phylogeny for this genus, based on five mitochondrial genes and the nuclear gene beta-actin, comprising a total of 4068 bp. Bayesian inference using all gene fragments yielded a fully resolved phylogeny, co...

[1] Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) image and spectral reflectance data are combined to analyze mare basalt units in and adjacent to the Orientale multiring impact basin. Models are assessed for the relationships between basin formation and mare basalt emplacement. Mare basalt emplacement on the western nearside limb began prior to the Orientale event as evidenced by the presence of cryptomaria. The...
