Interspecific competition may be particularly exacerbated when occurring between native and invasive alien species, with environmental conditions affecting drivers of natural selection shaping spatio-temporal dynamics animal communities. The effects invaders are evident in aquatic ecosystems delicate complex balances, such as Mediterranean coastal wetlands, characterized by unpredictable water ...

We tested the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene-based (1065 bp.) phylogeny and genetic diversity of tooth-carp fish (Aphaniidae Hoedeman, 1949 family), many which are endemic, with a very high species in Anatolia. A total 107 individuals were studied from 29 stations belonging to 19 Aphaniid species. For Cytb gene, 44 haplotypes identified, all species-specific. The phylogenetic relationships...
