Abstract excerpt
The barb Barbus petenyi is a cyprinid widely distributed throughout the mountain regions in the Danube River basin. Phylogenetic analysis of the DNA sequence variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene over much of this range yielded three deep-branching (5.9-9.4% average divergence), well-supported haplotype clades with mutually exclusive geographic distributions and divergence times estimated to be in the...
