title: [Comparative analysis of mitochondrial DNA variation in four species of far eastern redfins of the genus Tribolodon (Pisces, Cyprinidae)].
abstract: MtDNA variations were examined in four endemic species of the Far Eastern redfins of the genus Tribolodon across considerable parts of their ranges. No close correlation was revealed between the lifespan of the species and the level of mtDNA variations. An association was revealed between the degree of manifestation of the genetic structure population and the degree ofamphidromy in the species. The presence of differing mtDNA phylogroups in three out of four species indicates that the history of these species included long period of independent intraspecific divergent evolution. This period occurred at approximately the same historical time and was probably caused by the same factors. The period appeared to be not long enough and ended with the association of genetically independent units into single species.
