Cytogenetic and Molecular Data Demonstrate that the Bryconinae (Ostariophysi, Bryconidae) Species from Southeastern Brazil Form a Phylogenetic and Phylogeographic Unit. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Brycon spp. occur in Neotropical watersheds to the west and east of the Andes, and as they are sensitive to anthropogenic changes, many these species are endangered in southeastern Brazil.

Endoparasite fauna of Brycon amazonicus and B. melanopterus(Characidae, Bryconinae) from Negro and Solimões rivers, Amazon, Brazil [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2016 Congeneric host species present similar biological and behavioral aspects, what may favor the presence of a similar parasite fauna. The aim of the present study was to compare the composition and structure of the parasite community from congeneric ...
