Possible implications of such introgressions for the history of the complex are discussed.engBeta-actinCytochrome bHybridogenetic complexMitochondrial introgressionSqualius alburnoidesSqualius aradensisEvidence of extensive mitochondrial introgression with nearly complete substitution of the typical Squalius pyrenaicus-like mtDNA of the Squalius alburnoides complex (Cyprinidae) in an independent Iberian drainagejournal article
