The more stirring the better: cichlid fishes associate with foraging potamotrygonid rays [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2015 One hunting tactic of freshwater rays (Potamotrygonidae), termed "undulate the disc and stir substrate", is here reported to attract cichlids at two sites in the upper Paraná River.

Rapid morphological change in multiple cichlid ecotypes following the damming of a major clearwater river in Brazil. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2020 Abstract While anthropogenic disturbances can have damaging effects on biodiversity, they also offer an opportunity to understand how species adapt to new environments and may even provide insights into the earliest stages of evolutionary diversification. With these topics in mind, we explored the morphological changes that have occurred across several

Machine learning models accurately predict clades of proteocephalidean tapeworms (Onchoproteocephalidea) based on host and biogeographical data. [PDF]
CladisticsAbstract Proteocephalids are a cosmopolitan and diverse group of tapeworms (Cestoda) that have colonized vertebrate hosts in freshwater and terrestrial environments. Despite the ubiquity of the group, key macroevolutionary processes that have driven the group's evolution have yet to be identified.

Reduced genetic diversity and the success of the invasive peacock bass (Cichliformes: Cichlidae)
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Several species of Cichla successfully colonized lakes and reservoirs of Brazil, since the 1960’s, causing serious damage to local wildlife. In this study, 135 peacock bass were collected in a reservoir complex in order to identify if they represented a ...
