Clarifying species boundaries between bocachico (Prochilodus magdalenae) and bocachico de Maracaibo (Prochilodus reticulatus) (characiformes: Prochilodontidae) using complete mitochondrial genomes [PDF]
Frontiers in GeneticsThe accurate phylogenetic distinction between Prochilodus magdalenae and Prochilodus reticulatus (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae) has been hindered by overlapping morphology and limited sequence data.

B chromosome dynamics in Prochilodus costatus (Teleostei, Characiformes) and comparisons with supernumerary chromosome system in other Prochilodus species [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2017 Within the genus Prochilodus Agassiz, 1829, five species are known to carry B chromosomes, i.e. chromosomes beyond the usual diploid number that have been traditionally considered as accessory for the genome.

A fractal pattern of hierarchical genetic population structure in mixed stocks across fish segregated by dams revealed by genomic resources for curimba Prochilodus lineatus. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Genomic resources, new microsatellite markers and a novel observation of a fractal pattern in the genetic population structure are presented for curimba, Prochilodus lineatus, a freshwater migratory model species of South America. Our main goals were to investigate the presence of mixed fish stocks and the effects of damming‐induced ...

Draft genome assembly for the colombian freshwater bocachico fish, Prochilodus magdalenae [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 We report the first draft genome assembly for Prochilodus magdalenae, the leading representative species of the Prochilodontidae family in Colombia. This 1.2-Gb assembly, with a GC content of 42.0% and a repetitive content of around 31.0%, is in the ...

Deciphering the complex life cycle and partial migration of an ecological engineer and critical Neotropical fishery species, Prochilodus costatus. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Understanding complex migration patterns, including drivers of partial migration and habitat use, is challenging but essential for conservation, as it determines a species' adaptative capacity in the face of environmental change and anthropogenic threats.

Findings From the Pearl River Basin: Dissolved Oxygen Dominates Functional Trait Filtering and Diversity Patterns in Urban Rivers. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUrbanization reshapes fish communities via environmental filtering. Surveying 44 sites across an urban (Huadi) and a relatively natural (Zengjiang) river in the Pearl River Basin (2024), we linked environmental variables to fish functional traits using RLQ and SEM, finding that dissolved oxygen is the dominant filter in urban reaches—selecting low ...

Little Divergence Among Mitochondrial Lineages of Prochilodus (Teleostei, Characiformes) [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Evidence that migration prevents population structure among Neotropical characiform fishes has been reported recently but the effects upon species diversification remain unclear.

Genomic Insights Into Carnivorous Fish in the Characiformes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study employed comparative genomic approaches using 12 high‐quality Characiformes genomes (covering nine subfamilies) with zebrafish as an outgroup to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the carnivorous adaptation of Characiformes. Expanded gene families, positively selected genes, and rapidly evolving genes in carnivorous species were ...
