On the conflict between science and ethics: the case of the moggel, Labeo umbratus (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from South Africa

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent molecular evidence showed that Labeo umbratus comprises two allopatrically distributed genetic lineages, a northern lineage confined to the Orange‐Vaal River system where this species was originally described and a southern lineage with three geographically separated haplogroups (western, central and eastern) distributed across multiple

Lentipes ptasan, a new species of sicydiine goby (Teleostei: Gobioidei) from the Western Pacific, with a redescription of L. mindanaoensis

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lentipes ptasan sp. nov. is described based on specimens collected from Taiwan and Mindanao Island. It is a large‐sized Lentipes species distinguished by several male‐specific characteristics, including an upper lip protruding beyond snout obviously, fewer premaxillary tricuspid teeth, two black lines running from the front of the eye through ...

A new South American darter (Crenuchidae: Characidium) from rivers draining the Northeastern Mata Atlantica Freshwater Ecoregion, Brazil: morphological and molecular evidence

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Characidium tupi, a new species from rivers draining the southern portion of the Northeastern Mata Atlantica Freshwater Ecoregion, is described. The new species can be distinguished from all congeners by its colour pattern, including 7–14 dark bars enlarged and more conspicuous on their ventralmost portion, resulting in a longitudinal series ...

A new endemic pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) species group from the Piranga River, upper Doce River basin, southeastern Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of pearl cichlid of the ‘Geophagus’ brasiliensis species group, endemic to the Piranga River, a major tributary of the upper Doce River basin in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is herein described. The new species is delimited using an integrative approach, with molecular‐based species delimitation methods coupled

Revised phylogeny of the Inula complex group (Asteraceae: Inuleae) with a recircumscription of Carpesium and establishment of a new genus Cladocarpesium

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Cladocarpesium T. Deng & Qun Liu, gen. nov. (Separated from Carpesium) is established with Cladocarpesium abrotanoides (L.) T. Deng & Qun Liu designated as the type species. The new genus is morphologically distinct from Carpesium s.str. by its sympodial growth form (typically producing three branches), sessile capitula, and three‐seriate phyllaries ...

Benthoplanidae, a new family of benthic ctenophores (Platyctenida), based on morphological and genetic data

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The benthic ctenophore Benthoplana meteoris (adults left and bottom, planktonic juveniles to the top right), type species for the genus, which in turn is type for the newly erected family: Benthoplanidae (Ctenophora, Platyctenida). Abstract We present a phylogenetic analysis of benthic ctenophores of the order Platyctenida, sampling all but one genus ...
