Abstract(s)

The first occurrence of massive mitochondrial introgression of Squalius aradensis genes in Squalius alburnoides, a hybridogenetic complex that usually carries mtDNA of its maternal ancestor (Squalius pyrenaicus) is reported. Possible implications of such introgressions for the history of the complex are discussed.
