Time‐calibrated relationships of a rare cave catfish (Trichomycterus rubbioli): Shedding light on troglobitic lifestyle origin in the Brazilian caatinga

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Catfishes of the subfamily Trichomycterinae comprise the most diverse fish group with species adapted to live in Neotropical caves, but past evolutionary scenarios that have driven the origin of these troglobitic species remain unknown. We herein investigate the phylogenetic position of the cave‐restricted Trichomycterus rubbioli, endemic to ...

Predation Under Heat Stress: The Significance of Body Size to the Outcome of an Acarine Predator–Prey Interaction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...
