Leucos
''Leucos'' is a genus of fishes in the family Cyprinidae, from Southern Europe. They are carp close to the genus '' Rutilus'', and were only recently taxonomically distinguished from that genus.Bianco, P.G., Ketmaier, V. (2014)A revision of the ''Rutilus'' complex from Mediterranean Europe with description of a new genus, ''Sarmarutilus'', and a new species, ''Rutilus stoumboudae'' (Teleostei: Cyprinidae).''Zootaxa'', 3841 (3): 379–402. Molecular data suggest that ''Leucos'' diverged from ''Rutilus'' more than five million years ago, probably during the Messinian salinity crisis. The species of ''Leucos'' are typically of small size and they all live in still waters. They differ from ''Rutilus'' by the lack of spinous tubercles on scales and head in reproductive males, and also in the pharyngeal teeth formula. The sister group to ''Leucos'' is the monotypic '' Sarmarutilus''. Species There are currently five recognized species in the genus:

Leucos Ylikiensis
''Leucos ylikiensis'' is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Greece, in the Kifissos drainage and Lake Yliki. The other known population, in Lake Paralimni, was extirpated when the lake was drained. ''L. ylikiensis'' was described as a distinct species in 1991. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.

Cyprinidae
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used by scient ...

Rutilus
''Rutilus'' is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae found in Eurasia. This genus is a widely distributed lineage of cyprinids and ranges from West Europe to East Siberia. Species In FishBase (2022), nine species are included in the genus: * ''Rutilus caspicus'' (Yakovlev, 1870) (Caspian roach) * ''Rutilus frisii'' ( Nordmann, 1840) (Black sea roach) * ''Rutilus heckelii'' (Nordmann, 1840) * ''Rutilus kutum'' (S. N. Kamensky, 1901) (Caspian kutum) * ''Rutilus meidingeri'' ( Heckel, 1851) * ''Rutilus pigus'' ( Lacépède, 1803) (Pigo) * '' Rutilus rutilus'' (Linnaeus, 1758) (Common roach) * ''Rutilus stoumboudae Bianco & Ketmaier, 2014 * ''Rutilus virgo'' ( Heckel, 1852) (Cactus roach) In a phylogeographic study, Levin et al. (2017) argue that the Ponto-Caspian taxa including ''R. caspicus'', ''R. heckelii'' and ''R. stoumboudae'' could represent a single widespread species whose range extends to Siberia, to be named ''Rutilus lacustris'', whereas ''R. kutum'' is included in ...

Messinian Salinity Crisis
The Messinian salinity crisis (MSC), also referred to as the Messinian event, and in its latest stage as the Lago Mare event, was a geological event during which the Mediterranean Sea went into a cycle of partial or nearly complete desiccation (drying-up) throughout the latter part of the Messinian age of the Miocene epoch, from 5.96 to 5.33 Ma (million years ago). It ended with the Zanclean flood, when the Atlantic reclaimed the basin. Sediment samples from below the deep seafloor of the Mediterranean Sea, which include evaporite minerals, soils, and fossil plants, show that the precursor of the Strait of Gibraltar closed tight about 5.96 million years ago, sealing the Mediterranean off from the Atlantic. This resulted in a period of partial desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea, the first of several such periods during the late Miocene. After the strait closed for the last time around 5.6 Ma, the region's generally dry climate at the time dried the Mediterranean basin out near ...

FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web.Marine Fellow: Rainer Froese

Over time it has "evolved into a dynamic and versatile ecological tool" that is widely cited in scholarly publications. FishBase provides comprehensive species data, including information on , geographical distribution, and
