Consistent dendrogram indi-cated that the samples collected from the same species do not constitute a separate monophyletic group and all the samples were grouped into three highly divergent lineages (A, B and C). Among them, Lineage A contained all samples of G. przewalskii from the Lake Qinghai and partial samples of the G. eckloni from the Yellow River. Lineage B contained the remaining samples of G. eckloni from the Yellow River. Lineage C was composed of a monophyletic group by G. eck-loni from the Qaidam Basin. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated that most of genetic variations were detected within these three mtDNA lineages (93.12%), sug-gesting that there are three different lineages of Gymnocypris in this region. Our Cyt b sequence data showed that G. przewalskii was not a polytypic species, and G. scolistomus was neither an independent species nor a subspecies of G. eckloni. The divergent mtDNA lineages of G. eckloni from the Yellow River suggested that gene flow between the different populations was restricted to a certain extent by several gorges on the upper reach of the Yellow River. Lineage B of G. eckloni might be the genetic effect from the ancestor which was incorporated with the endemic schizothoracine fishes when the headward erosion of the Yellow River reached to its current headwaters of late. The G. eckloni from Basin Qaidam was a monophyletic group (lineage C) and Fst values within G. eckloni from the Yellow River were higher than 0.98, suggesting that the gene flow has been interrupted for a long time and the G. eckloni from Basin Qaidam might have been evolved into different species by ecology segrega-tion. The correlation between the rakers number of Gymno-cypris and population genetic variation was not significant. All Gymnocypris populations exhibited a low nucleotide di-versity (π = 0.00096―0.00485). Therefore the Gymnocypris populations from Basin Qaidam could have experienced se-vere bottleneck effect in history. Our result suggested Gym-nocypris populations of Basin Qaidam should give a high priority in conservation programs.展开更多

There are compositional biases in the A-rich unpaired regions and G-rich paired regions. A-G transitions are primarily respon- sible for the Ts/Tv bias in unpaired regions. The overall sub- stitution rate in unpaired regions is almost two times higher than that in the paired regions. Saturation plots at compara- ble levels of sequence divergence demonstrate no saturation effects. Phylogenetic analyses using both maximum likeli- hood and Bayesian methods support the monophyly of Sis- oridae. Chinese sisorid catfishes are composed of two major lineages, one represented by (Gagata (Bagarius, Glyptotho- rax)) and the other by “glyptosternoids + Pseudecheneis”. The glyptosternoids may not be a monophyletic group. A previous hypothesis referring to Pseudecheneis as the sister group of monophyletic glyptosternoids, based on morpho- logical evidence, is not supported by the molecular data. Pseudecheneis is shown to be a sister taxon of Glaridoglanis. Pareuchiloglanis might be paraphyletic with Pseudexostoma and Euchiloglanis. Our results also support the hypothesis that Pareuchiloglanis anteanalis might be considered as the synonyms of Pareuchiloglanis sinensis, and genus Euchilo- glanis might have only one valid species, Euchiloglanis davidi.展开更多
