Phylogenetic and genetic variation of common mudskippers (Periophthalmus kalolo Lesson, 1831) from the southern coast of Java, Indonesia inferred from the COI mitochondrial gene.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The common mudskipper (Periophthalmus kalolo Lesson, 1831) belongs to a group of fish species that exhibit amphibious lifestyles during specific daily periods. However, identifying this species poses a challenge due to its morphological similarities with other mudskipper species. These similarities have occasionally caused misidentifications of mudskippers. In Indonesia, previous studies have examined the genetic variation of common mudskippers, but these investigations have been limited to a few specific areas, particularly along the southern coast of Java. As a result, the available data remain fragmented, and no comprehensive genetic population analysis of common mudskippers on the southern coast of Java has been conducted. Therefore, our study aimed to establish DNA
