Biogeography of curimatid fishes reveals multiple lowland–upland river transitions and differential diversification in the Neotropics (Teleostei, Curimatidae) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The Neotropics harbors a megadiverse ichthyofauna comprising over 6300 species with approximately 80% in just three taxonomic orders within the clade Characiphysi.

First record of Steindachnerina insculpta (Fernández-Yépez, 1948) (Characiformes, Curimatidae) in Argentina [PDF]
Check List, 2018 Recent expeditions to northwestern Argentina revealed the presence of an unknown species of Curimatidae for the Bermejo river basin. The morphometric and meristic analyses of these specimens allow us to identify them as Steindachnerina  ...

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 ...

Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

Inferring Diversity and Evolution in Fish by Means of Integrative Molecular Cytogenetics. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2015 Fish constitute a paraphyletic and profusely diversified group that has historically puzzled ichthyologists. Hard efforts are necessary to better understand this group, due to its extensive diversity. New species are often identified and it leads to questions about their phylogenetic aspects. Cytogenetics is becoming an important biodiversity‐detection

Reproductive strategies of two Curimatidae species in a Mogi Guaçu impoundment, upper Paraná River basin, São Paulo, Brazil [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2012 Considering that reproduction studies are fundamental to understand the life cycle of organisms, this study aimed to investigate the reproductive strategies of saguirus Cyphocharax nagelii and Steindachnerina insculpta in a dam of Mogi Guaçu River, (SP).
