Hydraulic flow resistance of epigean and hypogean fish of the family Trichomycteridae (Ostariophysi, Siluriformes) [PDF]
Critical swimming speeds of four trichomycterid fish species from epigean and hypogean environments were analyzed and compared: Trichomycterus itacarambiensis and Ituglanis passensis, both troglobitic from underground rivers; Trichomycterus brasiliensis, from epigean rivers; and Ituglanis sp., an undescribed troglophilic species from an underground ...

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 ...
