Phylogeography of the Korean endemic Coreoleuciscus (Cypriniformes: Gobionidae): the genetic evidence of colonization through Eurasian continent to the Korean Peninsula during Late Plio-Pleistocene

Abstract

The phylogenetic background of the rheophilic Coreoleuciscus species can be explained by the colonizer hypothesis that the endemic freshwater fish originated from the common ancestor in continental region.
