Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Neoplecostomus is described from Neotropical Atlantic coastal drainages, in southeast Brazil. The new species can be readily diagnosed from all congeners by having the first plates of the ventral series reduced in size, rounded and ventrally displaced, resulting in a naked band between ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

A bristle‐nosed Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii) bears true dermal odontodes on its snout
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Teeth show extreme diversity, including tooth‐like dermal odontodes or “skin teeth” in many extant fishes. We describe the anatomy of enlarged tubercles on the snout of Redfieldius, an extinct early Jurassic fish. We found that the tubercles in Redfieldius are dermal odontodes that evolved independently from those of living species. Abstract Comparison

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling
International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 7, July 2026.This study provides the first description of the early development of Hoplias intermedius (Characiformes: Erythrinidae), from the embryonic to the juvenile stage. The morphological, meristic, and morphometric characterization contributes to understanding the ontogeny and developmental transitions of Neotropical fishes, supporting taxonomy, conservation,

Consensus on future research directions in the phylum Rotifera
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Rotifers play key roles in aquatic ecosystems, yet significant uncertainty remains about their diversity and evolution, and further evidence is needed to determine how reliably their responses to global change and human impacts can inform conservation.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Freshwater fishes from the northwestern Colombian Andes are reported from the Pliocene Sincelejo and Ware formations. A total of 10 taxa have been identified, involving two orders, five families and nine genera. Characters from dental morphology, fin spines and cranial bones are provided as taxonomic tools for the study of fossil fishes.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Beta diversity is an important descriptor of community structuring and it plays a crucial role for understanding the patterns and processes shaping biodiversity at multiple spatial extents. We investigated the influence of local, spatial, landscape factors and niche characteristics on fish beta diversity along the Acre River in Acre, Brazil ...
