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

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

DNA metabarcoding assessment of Neotropical ichthyoplankton communities is marker‐dependent
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 DNA metabarcoding has been applied as a rapid, cost‐effective, and accurate taxonomy tool, allowing the identification of multiple individuals simultaneously. The combined use of the three markers increased the genera detection rates by 25%–87.5%, allowing an increased taxonomic coverage and robust taxonomic identification of complex Neotropical ...

Hearing in catfishes: 200 years of research
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 618-634, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Ernst Weber stated in 1819, based on dissections, that the swimbladder in the European wels (Silurus glanis, Siluridae) and related cyprinids serves as an eardrum and that the ossicles connecting it to the inner ear function as hearing ossicles similar to mammals. In the early 20th century, K.
