Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary analysis has contributed to our understanding of animal niches, interspecific interactions, community structure and the flow of matter and energy in food webs. We employed three methods of dietary analysis to estimate trophic niche overlap between two peacock bass species, Cichla cataractae and Cichla ocellaris, across sympatric ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Freshwater fish are essential components of aquatic ecosystems, providing key ecological functions and supporting livelihoods. Climate change poses a significant threat to freshwater biodiversity; consequently, both its conservation and the food security it sustains may be at risk.

Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Urbanization causes environmental impacts that threaten the health of aquatic communities and alter their recovery patterns. In this study, we evaluated the diversity of intertidal fish in six areas affected by urbanization (areas with native vegetation, deforested areas, and areas in process of restoration of vegetation) along an urban waterfront in ...

The color of illumination affects the stress response of jundiá (Rhamdia quelen, Quoy & Gaimard, Heptapteridae) [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2006 This paper provides the first data about physiological responses to stress in jundiá (Rhamdia quelen) exposed to different light colours. Jundiá is a species for fish production in the southern part of South America - and suitable for any region with a temperate or subtropical climates.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Environmental changes can have persistent effects on the local and regional dynamics of multispecies assemblages. However, the extent of historical legacies on current diversity patterns may depend on the trajectory and intensity of the environmental change. Here, we investigate how persistent decadal land use and land cover (LULC) changes are

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1501-1518, November 2025.Investigating the systematics and biogeography of Neotropical catfishes of the genus Rhamdia refined phylogenetic hypotheses, including deep paraphyly of Rhamdia laticauda, supported northward dispersal catalyzed by emergence of the Panamanian Isthmus and imply that cave colonization is widespread, convergent, and recent, with established cave‐dwelling

Environmental 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.
