Abstract excerpt
The genetic structure of four populations of Pararasbora moltrechti, an endemic species of the Cyprinidae in Taiwan, was investigated based on the genetic variation of mtDNA Cyt b gene and five microsatellite loci. High haplotype diversity (h = 0.92) but low nucleotide diversity (0.004) in mtDNA was detected in this endangered species. In total, 33 haplotypes and four clusters were identified in its mtDNA....
