Abstract excerpt
Amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii, Family Cyprinidae) is widely distributed in Northeast Asia. L. waleckii usually inhabits freshwater environments but can also survive in the Lake Dali Nur, one of the most extreme aquatic environments on the earth, with an alkalinity up to 50 mmol/L (pH 9.6). To investigate mechanisms of mitogenomic evolution underlying adaptation to extreme environments, we determined 30 complete...
