DNA barcoding uncovers two putative new species in Trachelyopterus (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae)
Abstract Trachelyopterus is a cryptic genus within the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae with a complex history of taxonomic revisions. Despite the notable morphological and genetic similarities among its species, some studies suggest that the genus harbours greater diversity than is currently recognized, including additional species yet to be

Abstract A new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Neoplecostomus is described from Neotropical Atlantic coastal drainages, in southeast Brazil. The new species can be readily diagnosed from all congeners by having the first plates of the ventral series reduced in size, rounded and ventrally displaced, resulting in a naked band between ...

Trophic niche overlap between native and non‐native fishes in central Anatolian lakes, Türkiye
Abstract The Central Anatolian region of Türkiye exhibits exceptionally high freshwater fish diversity and endemism and is increasingly exposed to the introduction of non‐native taxa. We examined the diet composition, prey selectivity and interspecific dietary overlap among eight native and five non‐native fish species across seven lakes in Central ...

Abstract The early ontogeny of endemic freshwater fishes provides essential baseline biological information for conservation and management, particularly in species with restricted distributions and high vulnerability to habitat degradation, environmental change and population decline. This study presents the first detailed description of embryonic and

ABSTRACT Previous studies described Myxobolus umidus infecting the spleen of Brycon hilarii, whereas Myxobolus pantanalis and Myxobolus salminus infecting the gill filaments of Salminus brasiliensis. In this study, we provided supplementary morphological and molecular data on these three Myxobolus species and histopathological analyses of the tissues ...
