Linking rivers, mixing faunas: How artificial connectivity between the Middle and Upper Paraná River basins shapes fish diversity in a tributary of the Itaipu Reservoir, Brazil. [PDF]
Abstract This work aimed to investigate the distribution and occurrence of fish species along the São Francisco Falso Braço Norte (SFFBN) River basin, a tributary of the Middle Paraná River basin now artificially connected to the Upper Paraná ecoregion, to evaluate how such connectivity may affect the biogeographic distribution and regional composition

Fish Diversity and Environmental Relationships in the Jinsha River During the Initial Phases of the 10-Year Fishing Ban: A Metabarcoding Approach. [PDF]
Using eDNA metabarcoding, we identified 61 fish species in the Jinsha river during the early stage of the Yangtze river fishing ban. Fish diversity showed seasonal and regional variation, with Cypriniformes as the dominant group. Key environmental factors like temperature and dissolved oxygen were closely linked to diversity patterns.

Establishing new grid-size-dependent attributes to rank areas of endemism for conservation priorities. [PDF]
Abstract Delineating Areas of Endemism (AEs) is crucial for identifying priority areas for biodiversity conservation in a spatial planning framework. Endemicity Analysis in the NDM/VNDM software is one of the primary methodologies for its delineation.
