We review the diversity of freshwater organisms in the Mediterranean Basin (hereafter Med),
particularly from streams and rivers. We present available information on the richness …

It is becoming clear that the Mediterranean region is one of the" hottest" of the biodiversity
hotspots on the planet. There is also an increasing concern for the conservation, adaptive …

Elucidating phylogeographic patterns and inferring evolutionary histories of species is
essential to understanding patterns of population divergence and to defining effective …

There are particular challenges in defining the taxonomic status of recently radiated groups
due to the low level of phylogenetic signal. Members of the Salmo trutta species-complex …

Mediterranean trout populations display a diversity of phenotypes, representing a valuable
model for the study of adaptation and a puzzling dilemma for taxonomists and …

Background Assessment of genetic diversity and population genetic structure is important for
species that are economically important, threatened, and are at global conservation priority …

The present study was designed to characterize the genetic structure of brown trout (Salmo
trutta) populations from the southern Balkans and to assess the spread of non‐native strains …

The study focuses on the phylogenetic origin and genetic diversity of brown trout in the
eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. It further aims to reveal the impact of human-mediated …

Salmonids are extremely important economically and scientifically; therefore, dynamic
developments in their research have occurred and will continue occurring in the future. At …

Channa marulius is a commercially important fish of South East Asia. The present study
