Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Our previous study from 2024 indicated that Ptychobarbus leptosomus is a new species found only in the Yalong River (the largest tributary of the Jinsha River). P. leptosomus was historically classified as P. kaznakovi, which lives in the Jinsha River. To date, the evolutionary history and population dynamics of P. leptosomus and P. kaznakovi have not been reported. In our study, both species have...
