Ichthyofauna sampled with tadpoles in northeastern Maranhão state, Brazil [PDF]
The Neotropic region has high fish diversity associated with freshwater habitats. However, for Maranhão state, most publications on the ichthyofauna concentrate on coastal or estuarine ecosystems. In this study, species of fish were sampled in lentic and
