| phylogeny and biogeography of chinese sisorid catfishes re-examined using mitochondrial cytochrome b and 16s rrna gene sequences. | the family sisoridae is one of the largest and most diverse asiatic catfish families, most species occurring in the water systems of the qinhai-tibetan plateau and east himalayas. to date published morphological and molecular phylogenetics hypotheses of sisorid catfishes are part congruent, and there are some areas of significant disagreement with respect to intergeneric relationships. we used mitochondrial cytochrome b and 16s rrna gene sequences to clarify existing gaps in phylogenetics and to ... | 2005 | 15804408 |
| biogeographic history and high-elevation adaptations inferred from the mitochondrial genome of glyptosternoid fishes (sisoridae, siluriformes) from the southeastern tibetan plateau. | the distribution of the chinese glyptosternoid catfish is limited to the rivers of the tibetan plateau and peripheral regions, especially the drainage areas of southeastern tibet. therefore, glyptosternoid fishes are ideal for reconstructing the geological history of the southeastern tibet drainage patterns and mitochondrial genetic adaptions to high elevations. | 2015 | 26511921 |
