Historical Biogeography of Five Characidium Fish Species: Dispersal from the Amazon Paleobasin to Southeastern South America [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Characidium is a Neotropical fish genus. Its distribution ranges from eastern Panama to northern Argentina, and it is an important component of the Neotropical ichthyofauna present in the major rivers of South America. We here provide an approximation to

Dispersion of transposable elements and multigene families: Microstructural variation in Characidium (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) genomes [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2018
Eukaryotic genomes consist of several repetitive DNAs, including dispersed DNA sequences that move between chromosome sites, tandem repeats of DNA sequences, and multigene families.

The karyotypes and evolution of ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes in the genus Characidium (Characiformes, Crenuchidae)

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2018
Available data on cytotaxonomy of the genus Characidium Reinhardt, 1867, which contains the greatest number of species in the Characidiinae (Crenuchidae), with 64 species widely distributed throughout the Neotropical region, were summarized and reviewed.

Repetitive DNA Sequences and Evolution of ZZ/ZW Sex Chromosomes in Characidium (Teleostei: Characiformes). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Characidium constitutes an interesting model for cytogenetic studies, since a large degree of karyotype variation has been detected in this group, like the presence/absence of sex and supernumerary chromosomes and variable distribution of repetitive ...

Origin of B chromosomes in Characidium alipioi (Characiformes, Crenuchidae) and its relationship with supernumerary chromosomes in other Characidium species

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2017
B chromosomes are apparently dispensable components found in the genomes of many species that are mainly composed of repetitive DNA sequences. Among the numerous questions concerning B chromosomes, the origin of these elements has been widely studied. To

Feeding of two sympatric species of Characidium, C. lanei and C. pterostictum (Characidiinae) in a coastal stream of Atlantic Forest (Southern Brazil)

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2000
The feeding strategy of Characidium lanei and C. pterostictum was studied in the "Cabral" stream, a coastal stream of the Atlantic Forest, in southern Brazil. The samples were taken using electric fishing between March/95 and February/96.

A new sexually dichromatic miniature Characidium (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) from the rio Guaporé, rio Madeira basin, Brazil, with remarkable morphological novelties to the genus [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology, 2023
A new miniature species of Characidium is described from the midde rio Guaporé, rio Madeira basin, Rondônia, Brazil. The new species can be readily distinguished from all congeners by the sexual dichromatism, with females having narrow dark bars on body ...

Cytomolecular investigations using repetitive DNA probes contribute to the identification and characterization of Characidium sp. aff. C. vidali (Teleostei: Characiformes)

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology, 2021
Characidium sp. aff. C. vidali is a species found in coastal streams in southeastern Brazil, which has karyotypic explanatory elements as the occurrence of microstructural variations, keeping the chromosomal macrostructure of the genus.

Occurence of Characidium xavante (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) in the Tapajós River basin and comments about the conservation status of the species

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Characidium xavante was described from two tributaries of the Culuene River drainage, in the upper Xingu River basin. New samplings recorded the species for streams from the Kaaiapó River drainage (Teles Pires River drainage, upper Tapajós River basin ...
