ABSTRACT Local and regional species diversity is influenced by historical factors, resource availability, biotic interactions, the presence of resources, and adequate environmental conditions. We evaluated the effects of local environmental variables and spatial structure on fish species richness and composition along sandy beaches of a Neotropical ...

Citogenética molecular e evolutiva na família Characidae [PDF]
Some species of the genus Moenkhausia have already been studied cytogenetically, and the presence of B chromosomes is considered an interesting feature of these fish. These dispensable supernumerary elements that do not recombine with the standard chromosomes and follow their own evolutionary mechanism vary in number, morphology and distribution, as ...

ABSTRACT Changes in land use and land cover severely impact the ecological structure of aquatic ecosystems and can lead to losses in fish populations. To further examine the cause and effect, the present study aimed to evaluate (1) differences in land use and cover among subbasins of the Vacaria, Brilhante, Dourados and Lower Ivinhema Rivers, (2 ...

A new miniature characid (Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Characidae), with phylogenetic position inferred from morphological and molecular data. [PDF]
Erythrocharax altipinnis is described from the Serra do Cachimbo, Pará, Brazil. The new taxon is distinguished from all of the Characidae genera by having the pelvic bones firmly attached through the isquiatic processes; a nearly triangular hiatus in the

The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.
