Abstract excerpt
The European di-, tri- and tetraploid complex of spined loaches of the genus Cobitis is formed by hybridization of C. elongatoides and three vicarious species, С. taenia, C. tanaitica and C. pontica. It is represented in the form of populations in which parental or related species сoexist with polyploids that reproduce gynogenetically. Insufficient geographic coverage and the unclear genomic composition of...
