Abstract:
In this study, we sequenced the mitogenome and seven nuclear genes from 45 samples representing 37 recognized species and two unidentified species of cave loaches within the family Nemacheilidae. We constructed the most comprehensive phylogenetic tree to date and resolved and estimated the phylogenetic relationships at the genus level as well as the taxonomy and validity of certain species of Chinese cave loaches. These results are important for further research on the origin, evolution, adaptative radiation, and conservation of Chinese cavefish.
