Lethal temperatures for Rhamdia quelen larvae (Pimelodidae) Temperaturas letais de larvas de Rhamdia quelen (Pimelodidae) [PDF]
The lower and upper lethal temperatures (LT50) of R. quelen larvae were determined. The larvae were obtained from two spawning periods with hatching temperatures of 21 and 26ºC respectively.

Cytogenetics of species of the families Pimelodidae and Rhamdiidae (Siluriformes) [PDF]
Only 33 species among about 300 belonging to the families Pimelodidae and Rhamdiidae have been studied cytogenetically. The diploid number varies from 2n = 46 to 2n = 63 chromosomes, with the karyotypes often being of the meta/submetacentric type.

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

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

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

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

Cytogenetic characterization through chromosomic banding of Pinirampus pirinampu (Pisces, Pimelodidae) from the Tibagi river basin PR/Brazil [PDF]
Cytogenetic studies of three species of the Pimelodidae family were carried out. The results showed a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 46 for Pimelodellu spl, 2n = 52 for Pimelodellu sp2 and 2n = 50 for Pinirampus pirinumpu. Chromosome polymorphism was detected by of G-banding analysis in Pimeladella spl and by C-banding in P. pirinampu.
