Abstract The Iberian Peninsula was one of the most important Pleistocene glacial refugia in
Europe. A number of recent studies have documented the phylogeography of Iberian taxa …

The phylogenetic relationships of 106 European cyprinid taxa were determined based on
the complete nucleotide sequence (1140 bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. The …

Background Leuciscinae is a subfamily belonging to the Cyprinidae fish family that is widely
distributed in Circum-Mediterranean region. Many efforts have been carried out to …

Fishes of the order Cypriniformes are almost completely restricted to freshwater bodies and
number> 3400 species placed in 5 families, each with poorly defined subfamilies and/or …

Background Mesoamerica is one of the world's most complex biogeographical regions,
mostly due to its complex geological history. This complexity has led to interesting …

The phylogenetic relationships of cyprinid species from the Middle East and neighboring
biogeographical areas were investigated using cytochrome b sequence variation in order to …

To test vicariant speciation hypotheses derived from geological evidence of the closing of
the Tethys Sea, we reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of the predominantly fresh‐water …

The phylogenetic relationships among 26 species of the subgenus Luciobarbus were
examined through comparison of the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genes …

Aim The geological evolution of the Mediterranean region is largely the result of the Tertiary
collision of the African and Eurasian Plates, but also a mosaic of migrating island arcs …

Abstract Aim The Irano‐Turanian (IT) floristic region is characterized by high levels of
endemicity. Despite its potential role as a cradle of xerophytic taxa for neighbouring areas …
