Unrecognized diversity, genetic structuring, and phylogeography of the genus (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) sheds light on two opposite colonization routes during Quaternary glaciation that occurred in the Qilian Mountains.

In recent years, the influence of historical geological and climatic events on the evolution of flora and fauna in the Tibetan Plateau has been a hot research topic. The Qilian Mountain region is one of the most important sources of biodiversity on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Many species existed in the region during the Pleistocene glacial oscillation, and the complex geographical environment provided suitable conditions for the survival of local species.

Sequence and organization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizothorax davidi (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Schizothorax davidi. The length of the genome is 16,577 bp, which contains 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and two non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL). The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of S.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris chilianensis (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Gymnocypris chilianensis was determined and analyzed. The mitogenome of G. chilianensis is 16,667 bp long, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL).
