Cytogenetic characterization of F1, F2 and backcross hybrids of the Neotropical catfish species Pseudoplatystoma corruscans and Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum (Pimelodidae, Siluriformes) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 The cytogenetic characteristics of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans and Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum and their F1, F2 and backcross hybrids were assessed by using chromosome banding techniques.

Dimethyl acetamide and dimethyl sulfoxide associated at glucose and egg yolk for cryopreservation of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans semen [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2023 This study aimed to develop a protocol for the cryopreservation of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans semen. For this, mature males were hormonally induced with a single dose of carp pituitary extract (5 mg/kg body weight).

Survival and growth of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (Pisces - Pimelodidae) larvae: effect of photoperiod Sobrevivência e crescimento de larvas de surubim, Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (Pisces, Pimelodidae): efeito do fotoperíodo [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008 The survival and the growth of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans larvae exposed to four photoperiods: light:dark (LD) 0:24, LD 10:14, LD 14:10, and LD 24:0, in a brackish water (5‰) culture were analyzed. Larvae were fed with Artemia sp. nauplii at a 500

Hybridization, Maternal Inheritance, and Evolutionary Time of Divergence of Endangered Species of <i>Hypancistrus</i> (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in the Xingu River. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe uncover recent hybridization dynamics among three endemic Hypancistrus species from the Xingu River, including the critically endangered H. zebra. Mitogenomic analyses reveal unidirectional maternal inheritance and recent evolutionary radiation (< 0.5 Ma), explaining their retained reproductive compatibility.

DNA metabarcoding assessment of Neotropical ichthyoplankton communities is marker-dependent. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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 ...

Assessing the population structure of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Teleostei, Perciformes, Sciaenidae) from the São Francisco River, Bahia, Brazil, using body morphology and otolith shape signatures. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The south American silver croaker, Plagioscion squamosissimus, holds significant importance for the artisanal fisheries in the sub‐middle and lower courses of the São Francisco River, located in northeastern Brazil. To investigate the population structure of this species along its longitudinal profile, a total of 150 individuals (50 fish per ...

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

Distribution modelling for Neotropical freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon brachyura and Potamotrygon motoro (Myliobatiformes, Potamotrygonidae) in the Uruguay River basin. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract This study aimed to identify geographical distribution patterns of the giant short‐tailed river stingray Potamotrygon brachyura and the motoro stingray Potamotrygon motoro in the Uruguay River basin. Data on presence/absence of stingrays were based on fishers' knowledge accessed by interviews through expeditions in Brazil, Argentina and ...
