Underestimated diversity in Characidium (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) from Neotropical rivers revealed by an integrative approach

open access: yesSystematics and Biodiversity
Characidium represents the most widely distributed and species-rich fish genus within the family Crenuchidae in the Neotropical region, with numerous species described over the last decade.

Chromosomal diversification in populations of Characidium cf. gomesi (Teleostei, Crenuchidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, 2010
Comparative cytogenetic studies carried out in two populations of Characidium cf. gomesi from Botucatu region, SP, Brazil, showed a similar karyotypic structure in a diploid number of 50 chromosomes, 32 metacentric and 18 submetacentric chromosomes for males and 31 metacentric and 19 submetacentric chromosomes for females as well as a ZZ-ZW sex ...

A new species of Characidium (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) from the rio Madeira basin, Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, 2020
AbstractThis study describes Characidium nambiquara, a new species from the upper rio Guaporé, rio Madeira basin, Brazil. The new species differs from most congeners by the presence of isthmus and area between the contralateral pectoral‐fin bases completely naked. From congeners with some degree of scaleless ventral surface of the body C.

Chromosome painting of Z and W sex chromosomes in Characidium (Characiformes, Crenuchidae)

Genetica, 2013
Some species of the genus Characidium have heteromorphic ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes with a totally heterochromatic W chromosome. Methods for chromosome microdissection associated with chromosome painting have become important tools for cytogenetic studies in Neotropical fish. In Characidium cf.

Characidium longum (Characiformes: Crenuchidae), a new fish from Venezuela

Zootaxa, 2006
We describe a new species of Characidium Reinhardt, 1867, from tributaries of the blackwater rivers Capanaparo, Cinaruco, Caura and Casiquiare in Apure, Bolivar and Amazonas states of Venezuela. Characidium longum is diagnosed by an extremely elongate body and a unique pigmentation pattern consisting of 13 or more black vertical bars, each with a ...

Diversification of a ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system in Characidium fish (Crenuchidae, Characiformes)

Genetica, 2008
Karyotype and other chromosomal markers of Characidium cf. gomesi were analyzed using conventional (Giemsa-staining, Ag-NOR and C-banding) and molecular (Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S and 5S rDNA biotinylated probes) techniques.

Diet of two syntopic species of Crenuchidae (Ostariophysi: Characiformes) in an Amazonian rocky stream [PDF]

open access: yesBiota Neotropica, 2017
This study assessed the diet of two poorly known syntopic fish species of the family Crenuchidae, Characidium aff. declivirostre and Leptocharacidium omospilus, in a Presidente Figueiredo´ rocky stream, Amazonas, Brazil.

A New Species ofCharacidium(Characiformes: Crenuchidae) from the Lower Amazon

Copeia, 2013
Characidium papachibe, new species, is described from the Rio Arua, tributary of the Rio Tapajos basin, lower Amazon, State of Para, Brazil. The new species can be easily distinguished from its congeners, except C. serrano and C. heirmostigmata, by the presence of anteriorly oblique, midlateral bands centered on lateral line or just ventral thereof and

A New Species ofCharacidiumReinhardt (Characiformes, Crenuchidae) with a Distinctively Dimorphic Male

Copeia, 2015
We herein describe Characidium satoi, new species, only known from its type locality at Rio Curral das Eguas, a small tributary of Rio Abaete, in the Rio Sao Francisco basin, Brazil. It can be distinguished from its congeners by the following characteristics: area between the pelvic fin and the origin of anal fin moderate to strongly convex in lateral ...

Characidium stigmosum (Characiformes: Crenuchidae): A New Species of Characidiin Fish from Central Brazil

Copeia, 2002
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from tributaries of the rio Parana (Tocantins drainage), in Goias State, central Brazil. Characidium stigmosum is diagnosed by the presence of dark marks along the sides of the body, which are associated with the vertical bars that occur in most species of Characidium.
