- Diversity and evolution of Gymnotiformes (Teleostei, Ostariophysi), AP.TEM
Abstract
Why study neotropical electric fishes? A comprehensive inventory of Gymnotiformes is essential in order to completely understand the full breadth of diversity from all lineages of primary freshwater fishes in the Ostariophysi. In addition, Gymnotiformes are an excellent group to study processes underlying continental scale diversity due to their endemicity, monophyly and asymmetric spec...
- An inventory of the Characiform fish fauna (Teleostei, Ostariophysi) from South America, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
The project SACI (South American Characiformes Inventory) focus on the taxonomic study of the Characiform and aims at the production of identification guides, atlases, catalogues and checklists of species, and phylogenetic studies of higher-level relationships among characiforms based on material already available in fish collections of participant institutions as well as representative...

- Fish diversity of the headwaters and streams of the Upper Paraná River System in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
The so called upper Paraná River system includes the whole Paraná River drainage basin upriver from the former Sete Quedas falls (now drowned by the Itaipu Reservoir) and encompass large sized tributaries like the Rivers Grande, Paranaíba, Tietê and Paranapanema. Geographically , the drainage basin approximately 900.000 km2 includes the north of Paraná State, the south of Mato Grosso do...
- Tempo and mode of diversification in Adontosternarchus (Gymnotiformes, Apteronotidae): exploring the origin of species diversity in the Neotropical river channels, BP.PD
Abstract
The Neotropical region harbours the largest taxonomic diversities for several aquatic and terrestrial faunal groups in the world, with the most updated number of fish species registered is of about 8,000. Based on this massive diversity, reflections about tempo and mode of diversification in the group are justified, however, interpret in more detail the biogeographic history, as well as...
- Electric fishes of the genus Sternarchorhynchus, a case of adaptative irradiation in continental scale? a phylogenomic and morphological approach, BP.PD
Abstract
Sternarchorhynchus is an electric fish genus including 32 valid species with some more to be described. Species of this genus inhabit the canals of the rivers, streams, rapids and waterfalls in the Amazon and Orinoco basins, as well as, smaller rivers in Guianas. Morphologically the genus is characterized by an extreme modification in the anatomical complexes of the anterior portion of ...
- Systematics of the electric fishes of the genus Eigenmannia Jordan & Evermann (Gymnotiformes: Sternopygidae): an integrated approach to morphological and molecular data, BP.PD
Abstract
The methods of the traditional taxonomy will not be enough to satisfactorily describe the biodiversity on the planet before its extinction due to restrictions on the identification of species characterized by "taxonomic impediments". Alternatives such as integrative taxonomy that include molecular analyzes for species delimitation are proposed in order to enable the identification of b...
- Incongruence in biogeographic pattern-based analyses: a case study from amazonian fishes, BP.PD
Abstract
The present project aims to detect the presence of incongruence and to investigate its influence in biogeographic analyses of amazonian fishes. Incongruence is the degree of disagreement between topologies resulting from different datasets. Its identification and treatment remain mostly controversial within the realm of systematics. In biogeography, discussions about incongruence betwee...
- Comparative phylogeography of freshwater fishes from the Atlantic Forest: a multilocus analysis in representatives of the family Characidae (Teleostei: Characiformes), BP.PD
Abstract
Comparative phylogeography is a branch of phylogeography, intended to study the effects of evolutionary history and biogeography on the distribution of genetic variation of co-distributed species. The Atlantic Forest (AF) is one of the most important and threatened biodiversity hotspots of the world characterized by having high diversity and endemism of organisms. The evolutionary histo...
- Heterochrony and miniaturization: a comparative study of ontogeny in the Characidae (Teleostei: Characiformes), BP.PD
Abstract
Two hundred and thirteen miniature fish species are listed for the Neotropical region, of which, 67 belong to the family Characidae. Miniature species are frequently associated with reductive morphological characters, which are commonly found in the Characidae, such as reduction in the laterosensory canal system of head and body, and reduction in the number of scales. Such reductions ar...

- Analysis of type material and selection of informative characters for a morphological phylogenetic reconstruction of the species of Crenicichla Heckel and Teleocichla Kullander (Teleostei: Cichlidae), BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Crenicichla is the most speciose genus within South American cichlids, with 86 valid species distributed in almost all major river basins in cis-Andean South America, and Teleocichla is composed of eight Amazonian species. A group comprising the species of Crenicichla and Teleocichla was hypothesized as monophyletic by several phylogenetic analyses using morphological and molecular data...
- Study of molecular and morphological variation in Anchoviella lepidentostole Fowler, 1911 (Clupeiformes: Engraulidae), BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Anchoviella comprises schooling fishes, with marine, estuarine and freshwater habits distributed in South, Central and North America. Currently, 10 valid species of Anchoviella are recognized (Loeb, 2012), including Anchoviella lepidentostole Fowler, 1911, a marine species of commercial importance that occurs along Atlantic in South America coast, from Paraná, at baía de Paranaguá, to V...
- Developmental osteology of Copella myers: comparisons to other Lebiasinidae, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
The project aims to describe the ontogenetic development of Copella, to understand how ontogenies change during evolution and to establish the type of miniaturization of the group, once decreasing in size in Lebiasinidae is evident. This study will also contribute to new sources of relevant characters to the understanding of the relationships between the species of Copella, which is par...
