Copiapoa(Cactaceae) is a genus endemic to the Chilean Atacama Desert. The taxa ofCopiapoasubsectionCinereioccur in an area of high species richness and high levels of species endemism of the Central Chilean biodiversity hotspot. Four taxa are usually recognised in this group:Copiapoa gigantea(sometim...
The freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritiferidae) is a small freshwater bivalve family with only 16 species7but for less than half of these species the fish hosts are known. For instance, data on the hosts ofMargaritifera dahurica(Middendorff, 1850),Pseudunio homsensis(Lea, 1865),P.marocanus(...
Goodeid topminnows are live-bearing fishes endemic to the Mexican Highlands (Mesa Central, MC). Unfortunately, in the MC, environmental degradation and introduced species have pushed several goodeid species to the brink of extinction. Invasive fishes can introduce exotic parasites, and the most abunda...
mulating that the latter is not a general fact [6–8] and an instability of expression in reference genes were observed among different tissues, treated versus non-treated samples [9] and/or closely re- lated species [10,11]. Therefore, trusting in normalization with a single reference gene...
zrmanjae probably presents two different and distinct species. This issue should be resolved with a larger number of samples of fishes from these two rivers. The phylogenetic tree based on the highly variable noncoding nuclear region, Cyfun P, positions S. illyricus with other Squalius species ...
