Osteological insights on Turkish Pseudophoxinus species and Egirdira nigra (Teleostei: Leuciscidae)

Acta Zoologica, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 14, 2025

Abstract The present study aims to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of the vertebral column, fin structure and caudal skeleton 21 species Pseudophoxinus Egirdira nigra (Family: Leuciscidae) collected from various freshwater locations across Türkiye. Using mammographic imaging, eight distinct characteristics column were examined: regionalization, interdigitation pterygiophores with neural spines dorsal fin, haemal anal formula, distribution procurrent ventral description skeleton. These features documented for all studied. findings reveal that osteological data vary among examined, highlighting can serve as valuable tools in taxonomic classification E. . Additionally, this introduces novel approach defining regions dividing it into four regions: postcranial, middle (comprising both anterior posterior sections) regions. Furthermore, research identifies specific could effective criteria differentiate within This new anatomical contributes deeper understanding taxonomy systematics these

Abstract Oxynoemacheilus fatmae , a new species, is found in the Güzelhisar Stream northern Aegean Sea basin. It differentiated from all other species of and adjacent basins by having four to eight irregularly shaped narrow black bars on posterior part flank, anterior parts flank with marbled pattern. O. closest theophilii 14 fixed diagnostic nucleotide substitution sites, pair‐wise genetic distance 2.22%. further differs slenderer body (body at dorsal‐fin origin: 15%–17% standard length [SL] vs. 17%–18%), caudal peduncle (10%–12% SL 12%–13%), more forked fin (length middle caudal‐fin lope: 16%–19% 19%–23%), absence dorsal ventral adipose crests behind vertical anal‐fin base (vs. present). Three delimitation tests (assemble automatic partitioning (ASAP), barcode gap discovery (ABGD) generalized mixed yule‐coalescent (GMYC)) phylogenetic analyses reinforce validity as distinct species.

Mugla Journal of Science and Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(1), P. 28 - 32

Published: March 26, 2024

The Mediterranean-Aegean region play a significant role in the context of conserving biodiversity. protection endemic and local species becomes attainable only with thorough understanding their biology. Specifically, aquatic dwelling inland waters may be more vulnerable due to irregular composition habitats, characterized by natural barriers. It imperative initiate conservation process identifying fauna flora ecosystems, thereby facilitating development comprehensive plans. In this context, primary objective present study is identify freshwater fish inhabiting Madra Havran Streams Balıkesir, Türkiye using DNA barcoding method. procedure involves isolation through Chelex protocol, followed amplification mitochondrial CO1 various primer combinations. results obtained from gene sequences 29 individuals total provide valuable information on diversity, genetic relationships, variations. This research emphasizes importance as tool for identification, exploration, acquired outcomes establish foundation effective management biodiversity, particularly within these ecosystems.

In this study, the Tigris bream Acanthobrama marmid individuals (44 females and 31 males) were captured from River. The scale size (as centroid size) shape analyzed separately using 2–dimensional geometric morphometric methods. Procrustes ANOVA revealed significant differences in scales between sexes, while no difference was observed. Groups based on season age showed both shape. Female had larger sizes than males, with of Autumn group being those Spring Summer groups. Scale also increased PCA analysis variation first five components when examined by age, season, gender.

Testing the Dispersal-Origin-Status-Impact (DOSI) scheme to prioritise non-native and translocated species management

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Dec. 28, 2024

Assessing actual and potential impacts of non-native species is necessary for prioritising their management. Traditional assessments often occur at the level, potentially overlooking differences among populations. The recently developed Dispersal-Origin-Status-Impact (DOSI) assessment scheme addresses this by treating biological invasions as population-level phenomena, incorporating complexities affecting populations species. We applied DOSI to translocated reported in a shallow alluvial lake (Lake Gala) reservoir (Sığırcı Reservoir) north-western Türkiye. identified 12 established across both ecosystems, including nine fish, two invertebrates, one mammal. Most received High Medium–High priority rankings, sites. In contrast, Medium Low rankings were less common, each occurring once Lake Gala four times Sığırcı Reservoir. These high-priority warrant targeted management interventions due status, autonomous spread, observed negative impacts. By enabling more nuanced context-specific approach, facilitates development strategies managing posing highest risks. Moreover, DOSI's focus on within ecosystems highly relevant stakeholders, decision-makers, environmental managers, because it provides detailed precise unit evaluation.
