Applying multi-mesh gillnet to monitor fish communities in neotropical rivers

Neotropical Ichthyology
Neotropical fish diversity has been declining, driven by increasing human pressures. This accelerating loss underscores the urgent need for standardized methods capable of reliably monitoring these communities.

Elements of fish metacommunity structure in Neotropical freshwater streams [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
AbstractThe identification of the mechanisms underlying patterns of species co‐occurrence is a way to identify which process(es) (niche, neutral, or both) structure metacommunities. The current paper had the goal of identifying patterns of co‐occurrence in Neotropical stream fish and determining which processes structure the fish metacommunity, and ...

Whole Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) as Dietary Replacement of Extruded Feed for Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) Juveniles

Aquaculture Journal, 2022
The black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) is a prominent insect species and a novel alternative ingredient for aquafeeds. This study aimed to evaluate the replacement of commercial feed with fresh whole black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) for Colossoma ...

Signatures of convergence in Neotropical cichlid fish

Molecular Ecology
AbstractConvergent evolution of similar phenotypes suggests some predictability in the evolutionary trajectories of organisms, due to strong and repeated selective pressures, and/or developmental constraints. In adaptive radiations, particularly in cichlid fish radiations, convergent phenotypes are commonly found within and across geographical settings.

Hepatic morphology and serum biochemical profile according to dry and rainy seasons in Pygocentrus nattereri (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the physiological and morphological adaptations of the liver of the carnivorous fish Pygocentrus nattereri (piranha) in response to seasonal variations (dry and rainy seasons) in the Brazilian Pantanal. The objective was to describe how the liver, a central organ in metabolic regulation, responds to environmental ...

MicroCT reinvestigation of the only articulated fossil anostomid fish reveals synonymy of Arhinolemur Ameghino, 1898 and Megaleporinus Ramirez et al., 2017

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Arhinolemur scalabrinii† Ameghino, 1898 was originally described as a strepsirrhine primate (Mammalia) but has been recognized as an anostomid fish since 2012. It remains the only extinct anostomid species known from complete cranial material.

Contribution of conservation genetics in assessing neotropical freshwater fish biodiversity

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Human activities have a considerable impact on hydrographic systems and fish fauna. The present review on conservation genetics of neotropical freshwater fish reveals that DNA analyses have been promoting increased knowledge on the genetic structure of ...

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...
