Abstract excerpt
Hybridization and polyploidy are particular characteristics of biodiversity among cypriniform fish. To infer ancient parentage of the tetraploids found among Japanese Cobitis loaches, we compare mitochondrial and four nuclear loci from two tetraploids with several diploid populations of C. biwae, C. striata and related species. Mitochondrial gene tree showed monophyletic diploid C. striata and paraphyletic C....
