Highly Resolved Phylogenetic Relationships within Order Acipenseriformes According to Novel Nuclear Markers [PDF]
Order Acipenseriformes contains 27 extant species distributed across the northern hemisphere, including so-called “living fossil” species of garfish and sturgeons. Previous studies have focused on their mitochondrial genetics and have rarely used nuclear

Utilizing Environmental DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Fish-Based Food Resources in Key Foraging Areas of the Black Stork. [PDF]
This study employed environmental DNA (eDNA) to assess fish‐based food resources in key foraging areas of the Black Stork (Ciconia nigra)—Zhanghe Canyon and Qixi River National Wetland Parks in Henan, China. Results show that the main prey in these habitats are fish from the orders Siluriformes, Cypriniformes, and Perciformes, with no significant ...

Spontaneous autopolyploidy in the Acipenseriformes, with recommendations for management
Sturgeon and paddlefishes (Acipenseriformes) are cultured worldwide for commercial and conservation purposes. Over the past decade, we have learned many sturgeon culture programs experience spontaneous autopolyploidy, or the generation of triploidy ...

Multi-Marker Mitochondrial Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Black Sea Sturgeons (Acipenseridae). [PDF]
Sturgeons are an important species due to their complex genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics. Unfortunately, they are threatened with extinction due to illegal and overfishing, as well as the loss of their natural habitats. In our work, we examine the genetic diversity of four sturgeon species that inhabit the Black Sea basin and its ...
