Moderate molecular difference in phenotypically indistinguishable populations of Luciobarbus albanicus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae).

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of Luciobarbus albanicus is almost completely restricted to the Ionian Freshwater Ecoregion of western Greece, and exhibits a marked north-south phylogeographic split. We examined 27 COI sequences (635 bp) from different populations in the northern (Kalamas, Louros, Arachthos) and southern (Acheloos, Trichonis, Pinios) sections of the ecoregion to see if these groups represent distinct species....
