Temporal and Ontogenetic Changes in Feeding Ecology of a Characid From Karst Dolines of the Neotropics

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 4, October 2025.
Environmental and biological factors strongly shape fish diets, yet little is known about such influences in flooded Karst Dolines of the Neotropical region.

Pterobrycon myrnae , a remarkable new glandulocaudine characid fish from Costa Rica

open access: yes, 2016
A new species of characid fish, in which the males have greatly enlarged scales on the middle of the flanks, is described from southern Costa Rica. During courtship the expanded tips of these "paddle sea les" serve as a stimulus to the female which later takes a spermatophore into her mouth. The peculiar sexual dimorphism of P.

Miocene Characid Fishes from Colombia: Evolutionary Stasis and Extirpation

Science, 1986
Fossil fishes from the Miocene La Venta fauna of the Magdalena River Valley, Colombia, are identified as Colossoma macropomum (Characidae), a living species from the Orinoco and Amazon basins. The fossils document a long and conservative history for a species that is highly specialized for feeding on streamside ...

Dietary differentiation in relation to mouth and tooth morphology of a neotropical characid fish community

Zoologischer Anzeiger, 2017
The relationship between diet and mouth and tooth morphology among eleven characid species is evaluated herein. Specifically, we tested for: (1) significant differences among the diets and (2) corresponding variation of mouth and tooth morphology. Fishes were collected bimonthly during 2012 and 2013 using electrofishing techniques in the Alto Jacui sub-

Digestive flexibility during fasting in the characid fishHyphessobrycon luetkenii

Journal of Morphology, 2011
AbstractDigestive flexibility is a widespread phenomenon among animals, and the congruence between empirical data and optimal digestion models strongly supports the idea that it has evolved by natural selection. However, current understanding of the evolution of this amazing flexibility is far from being comprehensive.

Aggressive Mimicry by the Characid Fish Erythrinus erythrinus

Ethology, 1997
AbstractThe young Erythrinus erythrinus mimics the colour pattern of the female of its specific prey, the cyprinodont fish Rivulus agilae. The male Rivulus is attracted by the predator, and, when performing sexual display in front of it, is caught by the tail and swallowed.
