The piranha genome provides molecular insight associated to its unique feeding behavior [PDF]

, 2019
The piranha enjoys notoriety due to its infamous predatory behavior but much is still not understood about its evolutionary origins and the underlying molecular mechanisms for its unusual feeding biology.

Linking rivers, mixing faunas: How artificial connectivity between the Middle and Upper Paraná River basins shapes fish diversity in a tributary of the Itaipu Reservoir, Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This work aimed to investigate the distribution and occurrence of fish species along the São Francisco Falso Braço Norte (SFFBN) River basin, a tributary of the Middle Paraná River basin now artificially connected to the Upper Paraná ecoregion, to evaluate how such connectivity may affect the biogeographic distribution and regional composition

Comparative cytogenetics in Astyanax (Characiformes: Characidae) with focus on the cytotaxonomy of the group

Neotropical Ichthyology
Astyanax is a diverse group of Neotropical fishes, whose different forms occupy different environments. This great diversity is also reflected on cytogenetic aspects and molecular markers, which have repeatedly been demonstrated by cytogenetic studies ...

Corrigenda: Cytogenetic markers as a tool for characterization of hybrids of Astyanax Baird & Girard, 1854 and Hyphessobrycon Eigenmann, 1907. Comparative Cytogenetics 14(2): 231–242. https://doi.org/10.3897/CompCytogen.v14i2.49513 [PDF]

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2020
Astyanax Baird et Girard, 1854, is one of the largest genera in the family Characidae and comprises 177 valid species. This genus has been the focus of cytogenetic studies primarily owing to the presence of B chromosomes and high karyotypic diversity ...

Ossification of the cranium of Inpaichthys kerri (Characiformes: Acestrorhamphidae) with discussion of paedomorphic traits in the genus

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we present a detailed description of the cranial development of Inpaichthys kerri (Characiformes: Acestrorhamphidae), highlighting important topics such as pedomorphic characters and their relationship with ontogeny and phylogeny, as well as ossification sequences unique to the species. Abstract The study of development provides valuable

Evolutionary history of the fish genus Astyanax Baird & Girard (1854) (Actinopterygii, Characidae) in Mesoamerica reveals multiple morphological homoplasies

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Mesoamerica is one of the world's most complex biogeographical regions, mostly due to its complex geological history. This complexity has led to interesting biogeographical processes that have resulted in the current diversity and distribution

Histological Characterization and Oocyte Development in Pearlspot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790) From Vembanad Lake, Kerala, India

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study is the first to elucidate the oocyte growth pattern of Etroplus suratensis through detailed gonad histology. Ovary samples from different maturity stages were collected from October 2023 to September 2024 from cage culture systems installed in Vembanad Lake, Kumbalangi, Kerala, India.

Living at the Interface: Behavioral, Evolutionary and Ecological Insights of Spring Use by Highly Mobile Stygobiont Crustaceans, Troglocaris planinensis (Decapoda: Atyidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study provides evidence that animals considered as strictly linked to subterranean habitats can exhibit behavioral responses to constraints occurring in surface environments. We studied the blind and depigmented shrimp Troglocaris planinensis in the Classical Karst using field and experimental approaches.
