Ecological Factors and Diversification among Neotropical Characiforms [PDF]

International Journal of Ecology, 2012
Morphological and DNA sequence data has been used to propose hypotheses of relationships within the Characiformes with minimal comparative discussion of causes underpinning the major intraordinal diversification patterns.

Weight-Length Ratio of Piranhas <i>Serrasalmus</i> (Characiformes, Serrasalmidae) in Bolivia: Relationships to Molecular Divergence and Maximum Size? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents WLRs of nine piranha or palometa fish species of genus Serrasalmus present in the Amazon and La Plata basins of Bolivia and compares differences with genetic divergence (mtDNA COI locus) and the observed maximum size. All species showed an exponential (power type) growth pattern, and all WLRs were significantly different among all ...

External Morphology of Leporinus oliveirai (Characiformes: Anostomidae) During Early Life Stages. [PDF]

J Morphol
Herein, we describe the early development of Leporinus oliveirai, a recently described species, documenting its external morphology with photographs and illustrations. The ontogeny of L. oliveirai is compared with other anostomids and developmental patterns are described for the family.

A new species of Characidium (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) from the Iguaçu National Park, Rio Iguaçu basin, Paraná, Brazil. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from the Iguaçu National Park, Brazil. The new species can be diagnosed from the congeners by the absence of conspicuous vertical bars, blotches and spots along the sides of the body, the presence of a scaled isthmus and adipose fin, a series of scales below lateral line and the presence of a thin dark

Genetic variability in five species of Anostomidae (Ostariophysi - Characiformes) [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 1999
Genetic variability was studied in five fish species (Anostomidae): Schizodon intermedius and S. nasutus and Leporinus friderici, L. elongatus and L. obtusidens, collected at one location on the Tibagi River (Paraná, Brazil). The protein data from seven systems coded collectively for 19 loci in the liver, muscle and heart.

Ontogeny of the Skeleton of Leporinus oliveirai (Characiformes, Anotomidae). [PDF]

J Morphol
ABSTRACTThe skeleton is a rich source of characters used in phylogenetic studies of teleost fishes. However, the development of bones was studied in a limited number of species and few studies have been published describing the ontogeny of the Characiformes skeleton.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemigrammus bleheri (Characiformes: Hemigrammus) and phylogenetic studies of Characiformes [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2019
Complete mitochondrial genome of the characiform fish Hemigrammus bleheri was characterized in the present study. The whole mitogenome was 17,021 bp in size and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs genes, a control region, and origin of light-strand replication.
