Article Synopsis
- The mitogenome of the endangered fish Lepidopygopsis typus from the Western Ghats was analyzed, revealing a total length of 16,729 bp and containing genes for 13 proteins, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs.
- A phylogenetic study positioned L. typus within a clade of the Torinae subfamily, closely related to the endemic genus Hypselobarbus, indicating a history of intensified selection for adaptation to their high-altitude habitat.
- Given its restricted distribution and low population size, L. typus is at high risk of extinction, highlighting the need for urgent conservation efforts.
