Phylogeography of the cyprinid Squalius aradensis and implications for conservation of the endemic freshwater fauna of southern Portugal (2005)
Journal Article
Mesquita, N., Hänfling, B., Carvalho, G. R., & Coelho, M. M. (2005). Phylogeography of the cyprinid Squalius aradensis and implications for conservation of the endemic freshwater fauna of southern Portugal. Molecular ecology, 14(7), 1939-1954. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02569.x

The Iberian cyprinid fauna, characterized by the presence of numerous endemic species, has suffered from significant habitat degradation. The critically endangered Squalius aradensis is restricted to small drainages of southern Portugal, habitats tha...

A molecular approach to detect hybridisation between crucian carp (Carassius carassius) and non-indigenous carp species (Carassius spp. and Cyprinus carpio) (2005)
Journal Article
Hänfling, B., Bolton, P., Harley, M., & Carvalho, G. R. (2005). A molecular approach to detect hybridisation between crucian carp (Carassius carassius) and non-indigenous carp species (Carassius spp. and Cyprinus carpio). Freshwater biology, 50(3), 403-417. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2427.2004.01330.x

1. Releases of non-native fish into the wild is an increasing problem posing considerable ecological and genetic threats through direct competition and hybridisation. 2. We employed six microsatellite markers to identify first generation hybrids and...

Impact of habitat fragmentation on genetic population structure of roach, Rutilus rutilus, in a riparian ecosystem (2004)
Journal Article
Hänfling, B., Durka, W., & Brandl, R. (2004). Impact of habitat fragmentation on genetic population structure of roach, Rutilus rutilus, in a riparian ecosystem. Conservation genetics, 5(2), 247-257. https://doi.org/10.1023/B%3ACOGE.0000030008.20492.2c

During the last 200 years, the riparian ecosystem along major rivers has been reduced to a few scattered remnants. Important elements of the riparian ecosystem are water bodies which were originally connected to the main river channel by annual flood...

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the endangered Portuguese freshwater fish Squalius aradensis (Cyprinidae) (2003)
Journal Article
Mesquita, N., Cunha, C., Hänfling, B., Carvalho, G. R., Zé-Zé, L., Tenreiro, R., & Coelho, M. M. (2003). Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the endangered Portuguese freshwater fish Squalius aradensis (Cyprinidae). Molecular ecology notes, 3(4), 572-574. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1471-8286.2003.00515.x

Here we describe the isolation and characterization of six polymorphic microsatellite loci for Squalius aradensis. The number of observed alleles per locus ranged from three to 16 and the observed heterozygosity from 0.22 to 0.95. These primers will...

The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis is an important human food source in Asia and causes considerable ecological and economical damage as a recent invader of North America and Europe. Here we report the isolation and characterization of 12 hi... Read More about Characterization of microsatellite loci for the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis.

mt-DNA sequences and possible invasion pathways of the Chinese mitten crab (2002)
Journal Article

The Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis is an invasive species that inflicts considerable economical and ecological damage in European and American freshwaters. Sequence variation at the mitochondrial COI gene was investigated from Chinese, Europe... Read More about mt-DNA sequences and possible invasion pathways of the Chinese mitten crab.
