Abstract Bleak Alburnus alburnus is a highly abundant but understudied fish species, and we know little about the trophic ecology of populations inhabiting rivers in central Europe. From an ecosystem perspective, this fish species is interesting as it is known to feed on surface insects, thereby linking the terrestrial with the aquatic habitat.

We dissect the co‐evolution and genetic architecture of lateral line scale counts and vertebrae numbers in Neotropical Heroine cichlids. Our phylogenetic comparative analyses recovered a positive correlation between these two traits. Furthermore, our qualitative traits locus (QTL) analyses identified significant genomic co‐localized associations for ...

Quantitative impacts of hydroelectric dams on the trans‐Amazonian migrations of goliath catfish
Abstract Hydropower expansion is increasingly responsible for connectivity and biodiversity loss in freshwater ecosystems. The Amazon basin, which supports the highest level of freshwater biodiversity globally, faces such unplanned expansion. Here, we demonstrate and quantify the impacts of two major hydroelectric dams on the Madeira River on the trans‐

A checklist of chromosome numbers and karyotypes of Amazonian freshwater fishes [PDF]
Une liste des nombres de chromosomes de 211 espèces de poisson du bassin amazonien est présentée. Ces espèces, appartenant à 5 ordres, sont caractérisées par une grande variabilité du nombre de chromosomes (2n = 22 à 2n = 134), par la présence de ...

‘Our global assessment showed multiple differences in salinity tolerance, morphological and life‐history traits, distributional ranges and genetic diversity among the three Myers' fish divisions (i.e. primary, secondary and peripheral fish), but also large variability and overlap among groups in some features’.

This paper describes a new species of characid fish, Creagrutus nigrostigmatus, which differs from all earlier known species of the genus in possessing a well-marked black horizontal caudaI bar, as well as in the spacing of the teeth on the ...

Shared and unique patterns of embryo development in extremophile poeciliids [PDF]
Background: Closely related lineages of livebearing fishes have independently adapted to two extreme environmental factors: toxic hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and perpetual darkness.
