Evolutionary history of lamprey paired species Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) and Lampetra planeri (Bloch) as inferred from mitochondrial DNA variation
A remarkable trend in the evolution of lampreys is the occurrence in most genera of ‘paired species’, in which the parasitic anadromous lampreys are believed to have given rise to nonparasitic… Expand

Strong genome-wide divergence between sympatric European river and brook lampreys
Lampreys, together with hagfishes, are the only extant representatives of jawless vertebrates and thus of prime interest for the study of vertebrate evolution [1]. Most lamprey genera occur in two… Expand

Paralog-specific primers for the amplification of nuclear Loci in tetraploid barbels (barbus: cypriniformes).
Thirty paralog-specific primers were developed, following an intron-primed exon-crossing strategy, for S7 and growth hormone genes in Barbus (subgenera Barbus and Luciobarbus). We found that… Expand
