Tails of Biodiversity: Vertebrate Community Assessment in a Neotropical River Basin via eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess vertebrate biodiversity in headwater streams of the Rio Santo Antônio basin, southeastern Brazil, a tributary of the Rio Doce. A total of 119 vertebrate OTUs were identified, with oxidation–reduction potential emerging as the strongest environmental predictor of species richness.

New insights into the putative XX/XY sex chromosomal system in blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 92-102, January 2026.
Abstract Blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (family Loricariidae) presented a putative sex system XX/XY in early stage. Aiming to explore the inter‐populational karyotypic variation and proposed emergence of the XX/XY system, we studied 13 H. soniae individuals (6 males, 7 females) from the Tapajós River.

Heterochromatin patterns and karyotype relationships within and between the genera Brycon and Salminus (Pisces, Characidae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 1999
Chromosomes of two Brycon species (B. lundii and B. microlepis) and Salminus hilarii were analyzed. Based on constitutive heterochromatin distribution patterns, karyotypic relationships within and between Bryconinae and Salmininae were examined.

First Records of Length–Weight Relationships for Ten Fish Species From the Middle Stretch of the Uruguay River, Southern Brazil

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study estimated the length–weight relationships (LWRs) of 10 fish species from the middle stretch of the Middle Uruguay River basin, aiming to provide new morphometric data and contribute to the knowledge of Neotropical ichthyofauna. Fish were collected at seven sites with sampling conducted at each site during every season, totaling 84 sampling ...
