Ichthyofauna sampled with tadpoles in northeastern Maranhão state, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2015
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

Parasites Are Paramount: Vertical Trophic Positions of Parasitic Catfishes in a Tropical River Food Web

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The Neotropical catfish family Trichomycteridae contains parasitic fishes that include scale and mucus feeders (subfamily Stegophilinae) and blood feeders (i.e., ‘candirus’, subfamily Vandelliinae). The influence of parasitic catfishes on food web dynamics is unknown.

Gill evolution in Neotropical electric fishes: Comparative phylogenetic evidence for hypoxia‐driven adaptation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1940-1956, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tropical freshwater fishes are often exposed to hypoxia, which limits aerobic metabolism and drives the evolution of diverse physiological, behavioural and morphological adaptations.

Illuminating the Dark: Using eDNA Metabarcoding to Study the Unique Ichthyofauna of the Furnas Formation Sinkholes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
Using eDNA metabarcoding, we assessed fish diversity in isolated sinkholes in southern Brazil, uncovering signs of local extinction and species persistence. This approach offers a non‐invasive tool for biodiversity assessment and informs conservation efforts in unique karst environments.
