Sex- and stage-dependent expression of gonadal soma-derived factor paralogues reveals functional and evolutionary divergence in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionThe gonadal soma-derived factor (Gsdf) is a member of the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, with key roles in teleost reproduction, particularly in males.

Perils of Underestimating Species Diversity: Revisiting Systematics of Psammocambeva Catfishes (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Rio Paraíba do Sul Basin, South-Eastern Brazil

Taxonomy, 2022
Psammocambeva, a subgenus of Trichomycterus s.s., includes a clade endemic to south-eastern Brazil, the Psammocambeva alpha-clade (PAC), containing species with similar colour pattern and fin morphology, making difficult their identification without ...

High Endemism in an Endangered Biodiversity Hotspot: Phylogeny, Taxonomy and Distribution Patterns of Catfishes of the Psammocambeva Alpha-Clade (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Rio Doce Basin, Brazil

Fishes, 2023
The Rio Doce basin is situated in a biodiversity hotspot, with some fish groups still superficially known. The intense process of habitat loss and water contamination justifies efforts to speed up the pace of describing fish species diversity. Herein, we

Morpho-Molecular Discordance? Re-Approaching Systematics of Cambeva (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Guaratuba-Babitonga-Itapocu Area, Southern Brazil

Fishes, 2023
A recent field inventory focusing on catfishes of the trichomycterine genus Cambeva detected the occurrence of two morphotypes, C. barbosae and C. cubataonis, in the Guaratuba-Babitonga-Itapocu area (GBIA) of southern Brazil, reporting some discordance ...

Comparative Osteology, Phylogeny and Classification of the Eastern South American Catfish Genus Trichomycterus (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae)

Taxonomy, 2021
Trichomycterus has been considered for a long time to be the most problematic genus of the diverse neotropical subfamily Trichomycterinae. Recently, Trichomycterus was restricted to a clade from eastern South America supported by molecular data, but no ...
