Taxon Sampling and Laboratory Procedures
To provide a comprehensive phylogeny of H. leucisculus , fishes
were obtained from four different recorded localities in Iran containing
Karun River, Mahabad Dam, Chitgar artificial lake and gorganrud (Fig.1).
The fishes were euthanized and clips of left pectoral fins were removed
and then preserved in 96% ethanol. Collection and locality data for
sampled fishes are described in Table. S1.
