Phylogeography of (Nemacheilidae): Responded to the Mid-Pleistocene Climate Transition in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Pleistocene climatic oscillations have greatly influenced the evolutionary histories and distribution patterns of most extant species. In this study, the phylogeographic patterns and evolutionary history of were investigated. A total of 359 individuals from 19 locations covering the species' distribution range were collected, and two mitochondrial genes (COI and Cyt ) and the recombination activating protein 1 gene (Rag1) were analyzed.

Species diversity of drifting fish eggs in the Yangtze River using molecular identification.

The dam constructions greatly changed the hydrologic conditions in the Yangtze River, and then significantly affected the spawning activities of indigenous river fish. Monitoring the species composition of drifting eggs during spawning season is important for protection issues. In this study, we have sampled drifting fish eggs in nine locations from 2014 to 2016.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Glyptothorax laosensis (Siluriformes, Sisoridae).

The complete mitogenome sequence of Glyptothorax laosensis was determined using long PCR reactions. The genome is 16 539 bp in length, including 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a control region. Except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Tor sinensis (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).

The complete mitogenome sequence of Tor sinensis was determined using long PCR reactions. The genome is 16,579 bp in length, including 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a control region. Except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand.
