Abstract

We report the first finding of the stygobiotic form of the cyprinid fish Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843), discovered in a single locality in southwestern Iran, while the epigean form of the species is widely distributed in western Asia (Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Syria). We also report a new locality for its hypogean congener, Garra tashanensis , about 5 km east of its type locality. The two species occur in syntopy in outflows of the Tang-e-Ban, a seasonal karstic spring that only has flowing water during winter and spring, when fish individuals are washed from the cave to the surface. Identification of the investigated samples was confirmed by morphological analyses, COI distances, and a phylogenetic tree. These findings suggest the existence of a large karst aquifer in the Tashan area that harbours several cave species of fish, crustaceans, and gastropods and may have considerable conservation implications.

The首次记录到一种茎生形式的Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843)，与Garra tashanensis Mousavi-Sabet, Vatandoust, Fatemi共生;Eagderi, 2016(铁骨鱼，鲤科)，在伊朗地下水中

我们报告了在伊朗西南部的一个单一地点发现的鲤科鱼Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843)的茎生形式的首次发现，而该物种的表生形式广泛分布在西亚(伊朗，约旦，黎巴嫩，土耳其和叙利亚)。我们还报道了它的近生同系物Garra tashanensis的新位置，在它的类型位置以东约5公里处。这两种鱼在汤鄂坂的流出处同属一种，汤鄂坂是一个季节性的岩溶泉，只有在冬季和春季，当鱼被从洞穴冲到水面时才有流动的水。通过形态学分析、COI距离和系统发育树确认了所调查样本的鉴定。这些发现表明，塔山地区存在一个巨大的喀斯特含水层，其中栖息着多种洞穴鱼类、甲壳类和腹足类动物，可能具有相当大的保护意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
