Paracobitis starostini

Freyhof, Jörg Geiger, Matthias F. Ball, Sarah

Results We compared two DNA barcode sequences of T. starostini with sequences of a total of 159 other nemacheilid loach specimens belonging to at least (due to some undescribed/unidentified species) 86 species and including all species of Paracobitis except P. ghazniensis from the Helmand drainage in Afghanistan and P. basharensis from Iran. We...

Eligibility — Any research output (data, software, posters, presentation, deliverables, ...) containing biodiversity related content, e.g. taxonomy, ecology, genetics
Curation — Submissions are NOT curated. Submissions are NOT peer- reviewed.
Compliance — Biodiversity Literature Repository makes it easy to comply with the related FAIR data principles.
Zenodo — Biodiversity Literature Repository is a community inside Zenodo which is managed and hosted by CERN.

Manage your project's research outputs — A BLR sub-community provides you with a common space to manage research outputs from your project and from all your partners.
Members — Allows you to manage members from across all the project's partners and determine who can submit, who can review and who can manage.

Plazi supports and promotes the development of persistent and openly accessible digital taxonomic literature. To this end Plazi:
