Strong population genetic structure and its implications for the conservation and management of the endangered Itasenpara bitterling

To infer the population genetic structure and genetic diversity of Itasenpara bitterling ( Acheilognathus longipinnis ), a cyprinid species endemic to Japan and distributed in only three specific regions, we investigated mitochondrial DNA variation. The distribution of the haplotypes among the three...

Description
Summary:To infer the population genetic structure and genetic diversity of Itasenpara bitterling ( Acheilognathus longipinnis ), a cyprinid species endemic to Japan and distributed in only three specific regions, we investigated mitochondrial DNA variation. The distribution of the haplotypes among the three regions showed distinct geographic structure, and no common haplotypes were observed among regions. Analysis of molecular variance revealed a significant proportion of the genetic variance was partitioned among regions (93.1 %, P
