The complete mitogenome of Amazonian Brachyplatystoma filamentosum and the evolutionary history of body size in the order Siluriformes [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The order Siluriformes (catfish) is one of the largest groups of fish. Diversity in the body size among its species, which range from a few centimeters to 4 meters, makes Siluriformes an interesting group to investigate the body size evolution.

Adaptive Diversification of the Mstnb Locus Drives Genomic Architecture of Growth in Thai Clariid Catfish [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT The production of clariid catfish in Thai aquaculture depends on culture of the native species (Clarias macrocephalus and C. batrachus) and introduced African catfish (C. gariepinus). Particularly, hybridization with C. gariepinus has improved productivity but raised significant conservation concerns.

High trophic niche overlap between sympatric peacock basses (Cichliformes: Cichlidae: Cichla): Concordant findings from three dietary analysis methods. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Dietary analysis has contributed to our understanding of animal niches, interspecific interactions, community structure and the flow of matter and energy in food webs. We employed three methods of dietary analysis to estimate trophic niche overlap between two peacock bass species, Cichla cataractae and Cichla ocellaris, across sympatric ...

DNA barcoding uncovers two putative new species in Trachelyopterus (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Trachelyopterus is a cryptic genus within the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae with a complex history of taxonomic revisions. Despite the notable morphological and genetic similarities among its species, some studies suggest that the genus harbours greater diversity than is currently recognized, including additional species yet to be

Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.
