INTROGRESSION EVIDENCE AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THREE (PARA)MISGURNUS SPECIES AS REVEALED BY MITOCHONDRIAL AND NUCLEAR DNA MARKERS

摘要

The taxonomy of (Para)Misgurnus genera is still debated. We therefore used mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers to analyze the phylogenetic relationships among Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Misgurnus fossilis. Differing phylogenetic signals from mitochondrial and nuclear marker data suggest an introgression event in the history of M. anguillicaudatus and M. mohoity. No substantial genetic evidence was found that Paramisgurnus dabryanus should be classified as a separate genus.
