This project aims at incorporating so-called Vulcano entomological collection into the official holdings of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo. The collection was built along a major portion of the 20th century, in the course of the long career of researcher Maria Aparecida Vulcano (in memoriam) and is currently in custody of her family. The collection includes unique and …

With more than 200 valid species recorded, Corydoras is the richest genus in the neotropical catfish family Callichthyidae. Despite prolific description of species, there has been limited revisionary work on the taxonomy of Corydoras, so that many hidden species, as well as synonyms, are expected to exist in the genus. The research herein proposed aims to conduct a comprehensive taxonomic…
The family Loricariidae is one of the most diverse families in Siluriformes, occupying the majority of freshwater environments in South America. Immense progress has been made in recent years regarding the diversity and phylogenetic relationships of the family. However, knowledge about the ontogeny of Loricariidae remains rudimentary. This situation represents a clear knowledge gap, as th…

Loricariidae is one of the most diverse families in Siluriformes, occupying the majority of freshwater environments in South America. Immense progress has been made in recent years on knowledge about diversity and phylogenetic relationships of the group. Despite this, information about the ontogeny of Loricariidae remains rudimentary and mostly unexplored. This situation is a severe knowl…
The genus Trichomycterus (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) is one of the largest taxonomic bottlenecks in Neotropical fishes. The genus comprises 184 nominal species spread throughout South America. Taxonomic studies on Trichomycterus continue to this date, with many new species described yearly. Despite that, non-described species still abound and a multiplicity of validly-published names…
The aim of this project is to undertake a thorough descriptive analysis of the central neuroanatomy of Cetopsidae species based on shape, relative position, and volume of the main subdivisions of the brain. This study will provide a broader context for understanding the main evolutionary transformations which shaped the cetopsid brain. Results from the comparative study will be coded as d…
