TL;DR: It is shown that large‐scale barcoding inventories of complex biotas are feasible and contribute directly to the evaluation of conservation priorities and it is argued that the evolutionary content of barcode data can be used to detect priority species for future IUCN assessments.

TL;DR: Genetic consequences of a rapid ecological speciation on the level undetectable by neither sequence nor karyotype analysis are demonstrated and causal interplay between genome differentiation, retrotransposons (re)activation and environmental conditions may become a topic to be explored in a broader genomic context in future evolutionary studies.

TL;DR: The present analyses of sequences of the complete mitochondrial control region of 146 individuals from 43 localities showed no major differentiation between bullheads from both sides of the Alps, which suggests active transfers of haplotypes across this geographic barrier from the glacial cycles up to recent times.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of Cobitidae are presented as inferred from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and the nuclear gene RAG-1, showing a group of eight nominal genera forming a monophyletic lineage (northern clade) while all other clades inhabit South and Southeast Asia.
