Very nice paper dealing with so-discussed Goldfish origin. Results further supports findings of the pilot study of Rylkova et al. (2010): "Many branches, one root: First evidence for a monophyly of the morphologically highly diverse goldfish (Carassius auratus)" focused on this topic. I´m very surprised that authors did not cite it... Link to the paper: http://www.sciencedirect....
