Description of skeletal structure and cranial myology of Cobitis keyvani (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae)
Cobitis keyvani is recently described from the sourhern Caspian Sea basin. Limited information is available about morphological features of C. keyvani, therefore this study was conducted to provide osteological characteristics and cranial myology of this species. For this purpose, nine specimens of...
