Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Ganga River System (GRS) is a biodiversity hotspot, its ecological richness is shaped by a complex geological history. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity, spatial connectivity, and population structure of the Asian Silurid catfish, Wallago attu, across seven tributaries of the GRS. METHODS AND RESULTS: We employed three mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) regions: cytochrome c oxidase subunit...
