New insights into the putative XX/XY sex chromosomal system in blue-eyed red-fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (Siluriformes, Loricariidae). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (family Loricariidae) presented a putative sex system XX/XY in early stage. Aiming to explore the inter‐populational karyotypic variation and proposed emergence of the XX/XY system, we studied 13 H. soniae individuals (6 males, 7 females) from the Tapajós River.
