Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses were used to examine the native distribution range and population structure of Biwia zezera (Cyprinidae: Gobioninae) based on specimens from the species' presumed distribution range. We found two greatly differentiated groups, with 8.6% uncorrected sequence differences in the mtDNA cytochrome b gene; one group was distributed exclusively in the Yodo River system (excluding...
