Marine catfishes (Ariidae—Siluriformes) from the Coastal Amazon: mitochondrial DNA barcode for a recent diversification group? [PDF]
PeerJBackground Ariidae species play a significant role as fishing resources in the Amazon region. However, the family’s systematic classification is notably challenging, particularly regarding species delimitation within certain genera.

Study of morphological variation of northern Neotropical Ariidae reveals conservatism despite macrohabitat transitions [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Morphological convergence triggered by trophic adaptations is a common pattern in adaptive radiations. The study of shape variation in an evolutionary context is usually restricted to well-studied fish models. We take advantage of the recently

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.
