Serial reversal learning in freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro)
Animal Cognition, 2019Serial reversal learning is considered a reliable approach for the testing of behavioral flexibility, and animals that inhabit fluctuating habitats and different environments are expected to possess behavioral and cognitive flexibility. The ocellate river stingray (Potamotrygon motoro) is one such species.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the ocellate river stingray (Potamotrygon motoro)
Mitochondrial DNA, 2015We determined the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Potamotrygon motoro from South American freshwater stingrays. The total length of P. motoro mitogenome is 17,448 bp, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a control region, with the genome organization and gene order being identical to that of the ...

Electroreception in the obligate freshwater stingray, Potamotrygon motoro [PDF]
Elasmobranch fishes use electroreception to detect electric fields in the environment, particularly minute bioelectric fields of potential prey. A single family of obligate freshwater stingrays, Potamotrygonidae, endemic to the Amazon River, demonstrates morphological adaptations of their electrosensory system due to characteristics of a high impedance

Characterization of inflammatory response induced by Potamotrygon motoro stingray venom in mice
Freshwater stingray accidents cause intense pain followed by edema, erythema, and necrosis formation. Treatment for stingray envenomation is based on administration of analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory drugs. This report evaluated the local inflammatory reaction—including edema formation, leukocyte recruitment, release of inflammatory ...

Histopathological study in wild freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon motoro in the Peruvian Amazon
Comparative Clinical Pathology, 2017The genus Potamotrygon comprises stingrays endemic to South American rivers. Potamotrygon motoro is a popular Amazonian species in ornamental fish trade. Histopathological studies of these species allow knowing the health status of these specimens. The objective of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of histopathological alterations in ...

Freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro) are known to cause human accidents through a sting located in its tail. In the State of Goiás, this accident happens especially during the fishing season of the Araguaia River. The P. motoro venom extracted from the sting presented hyaluronidase activity.

Spatial memory and orientation strategies in the elasmobranch Potamotrygon motoro
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2005We investigated whether juvenile freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro) can solve spatial tasks by constructing a cognitive map of their environment. Two experimental conditions were run: allocentric and ego-allocentric. Rays were trained to locate food within a four-arm maze placed in a room with visual spatial cues.
