Beyond Occurrence: Evidence Gaps for Non‐Native Freshwater Fishes in Brazilian Drylands

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Non‐native freshwater fishes are widely reported in inland waters, but occurrence records are often interpreted together with stronger evidence of establishment, reproduction, spread, pathways and impacts. This can overstate what published records support, especially in regions where reservoirs, river‐basin transfers and artificial ...

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 781-812, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

The origin and biogeographic diversification of fishes in the family Poeciliidae

PLOS ONE, 2017
The fish subfamily Poeciliinae (sensu Parenti, 1981) is widely distributed across the Western Hemisphere and a dominant component of the fish communities of Central America. Poeciliids have figured prominently in previous studies on the roles of dispersal and vicariance in shaping current geographic distributions. Most recently, Hrbek et al. combined a

Mexican Freshwater Fish: Identifying Conservation Priorities and High‐Risk Areas for Fisheries Under Climate Change

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish are essential components of aquatic ecosystems, providing key ecological functions and supporting livelihoods. Climate change poses a significant threat to freshwater biodiversity; consequently, both its conservation and the food security it sustains may be at risk.

Uso de la técnica de diafanización para el estudio del desarrollo óseo de Poecilia sphenops (Pisces: Cyprinodontiformes)

Manglar
Los estudios osteológicos en peces generalmente se han centrado en regiones específicas del esqueleto, sin considerar la descripción de todo el organismo, siendo la familia Poeciliidae muy poco estudiada; por el cual el objetivo del presente trabajo fue ...

Hypersalinity drives physiological and morphological changes in Limia perugiae (Poeciliidae)

Biology Open, 2016
A fundamental question in biology is how an organism's morphology and physiology are shaped by its environment. Here, we evaluate the effects of a hypersaline environment on the morphology and physiology of a population of livebearing fish in the genus ...

Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Fish Communities Between Urbanised and Protected Subtropical Streams

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation can have significant effects on stream ecosystems through increasing levels of nutrients and contaminants and via altering channel stability. In the present study, we assessed the influence of urban pollution on fish taxonomic and functional diversity.

The genome of the live-bearing fish Heterandria formosa implicates a role of conserved vertebrate genes in the evolution of placental fish

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The evolution of complex organs is thought to occur via a stepwise process, each subsequent step increasing the organ’s complexity by a tiny amount. This evolutionary process can be studied by comparing closely related species that vary in the

Freshwater fishes of the Waterberg aquatic ecoregion, South Africa: Diversity, taxonomic conflicts and conservation concerns

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 983-997, April 2026.
Abstract Southern Africa is a region denoted by both high levels of fish diversity, some of it cryptic and unrecognised by current taxonomy, and severely threatened freshwater ecosystems. The Waterberg, a key aquatic ecoregion of the greater Limpopo River basin in South Africa, represents an area with high terrestrial conservation value but is lacking ...
