Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

Cephalic Musculature of the Pacman Catfish Lophiosilurus alexandri Steindachner, 1876 (Siluriformes, Pseudopimelodidae). [PDF]

J Morphol
The head of the Pacman catfish (Lophiosilurus alexandri [L. alexandri]) is strongly depressed, broad, and with a large mouth, roughly resembling those of Lophius piscatorius and Chaca bankanensis. Also, they are bottom dwellers and have ambush behavior for fish predation.

Machine learning models accurately predict clades of proteocephalidean tapeworms (Onchoproteocephalidea) based on host and biogeographical data. [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract Proteocephalids are a cosmopolitan and diverse group of tapeworms (Cestoda) that have colonized vertebrate hosts in freshwater and terrestrial environments. Despite the ubiquity of the group, key macroevolutionary processes that have driven the group's evolution have yet to be identified.

Molecular phylogeny reveals a new species of ghost electric knifefish Porotergus Ellis 1912 (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), from the Amazon basin. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract A new species of ghost electric knifefish, Porotergus sambaibensis sp. nov., is described from the Javaés River, a tributary of the Araguaia River in Brazil. The new species was assigned to the genus Porotergus as the closest relative to Porotergus gimbeli through maximum likelihood reconstruction of a concatenated multilocus dataset ...

Integrative morphometric and molecular analyses reveal possible genetic contamination of silver catfish populations of the genus Rhamdia in Neotropical River basins. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Rhamdia quelen, Rhamdia branneri and Rhamdia voulezi are morphologically similar species that, until recently, were considered synonymous. Although R. quelen has wide distribution in the Neotropical region, R. branneri and R. voulezi are sympatric and endemic species of the Iguaçu River basin.

Localization of ribosomal genes in three Pimelodus species (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) of the São Francisco River: 5S genes as species markers and conservation of the 18S rDNA sites [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
Pimelodidae is one of the most representative of Neotropical catfish families. However, these fish are still poorly studied in terms of cytogenetics, especially regarding the application of more accurate techniques such as the chromosomal localization of

Analysis of genetic variability in three species of Pimelodidae (Ostariophysi - Siluriformes)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 1998
Genetic variability of three Pimelodidae species, Pimelodus maculatus, Iheringichthys labrosus, and Pinirampus pirinampu, collected at one site in the Tibagi River, was comparatively analyzed using protein data for six systems which code 15 loci in liver,
