DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in the underestimated genus Triplophysa (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae, Nemacheilinae) from the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Background: The northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) presents a high number of plateau loach species. As one of the three major groups of fishes distributed on the QTP, plateau loach has high ecological value. However, the taxonomy and systematics of these fish are still controversial, and a large number of new species have been reported.

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.
