Diversification of Neotropical Freshwater Fishes

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2020
Neotropical freshwater fishes (NFFs) constitute the most diverse continental vertebrate fauna on Earth, with more than 6,200 named species compressed into an aquatic footprint <0.5% of the total regional land-surface area and representing the greatest phenotypic disparity and functional diversity of any continental ichthyofauna. Data from the fossil

Neotropical freshwater fishes imperilled by unsustainable policies

Fish and Fisheries, 2017
AbstractNeotropical freshwater fishes are the most diverse on the planet (>5,500 species), although nations in Latin America have been negligent regarding their conservation. National policies have historically encouraged unsustainable practices, and recent decades have witnessed a sharp increase in harmful activities.

Genetics of neotropical fish: from chromosomes to populations

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2008
The Neotropical freshwater fish fauna is very rich--according to the most recent catalogue 71 families and 4,475 species have been described. However, only a small amount of general information is available on the composition of Neotropical marine fishes. In Brazil, 1,298 marine species have been recorded.

Chromosome diversity in neotropical fishes: NOR studies

Italian Journal of Zoology, 1998
Abstract Neotropical fishes present a high chromosome diversity showing a wide diploid number variation range, including different levels of ploidies, sex chromosomes, chromosome supernumeraries, and several cases of polymorphisms, related particularly to heterochromatin and NOR sites.

Oxygen consumption in weakly electric Neotropical fishes

Oecologia, 2003
Weakly electric gymnotiform fishes with wave-type electric organ discharge (EOD) are less hypoxia-tolerant and are less likely to be found in hypoxic habitats than weakly electric gymnotiforms with pulse-type EOD, suggesting that differences in metabolism resulting from EOD type affects habitat choice.
