bachelor's at Ciências Biológicas from Universidade de São Paulo (1988), master's at Zoology from Universidade de São Paulo (1992) and doctorate at Biology from City University of New York (1997). Has experience in Zoology, focusing on Taxonomy of the Recent Groups, acting on the following subjects: characiformes, neotropical, characidae, taxonomia and cynodontidae. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
Miniature species possess several paedomorphic features that complicate the proposition of hypotheses of homology and consequently of phylogenetic relationships. In an attempt to solve this problem, some authors have proposed an approach in which the anatomy of the miniature species is compared with ontogenetic series of closely related non-miniature species, with the objective to determi…
Since its origin in the Devonian, the Teleostei successfully irradiated to several aquatic environments, including freshwater rivers and even terrestrial habitats closely associated to aquatic surroundings. Teleosts exhibit a great variety of body forms and an enormous diversity of fin morphologies. The majority of the representatives of this taxon possess two sets of paired fins and thre…
The family Scyliorhinidae is the most diverse family of sharks with at least 16 genera and 160 species. Belonging to this family, the genus Scyliorhinus have 15 valid species, with varied color patterns and very similar external morphology. Such patterns are used extensively in taxonomic studies and identification of species of the genus; however, many questions are found in relation to t…
The Family Syngnathidae includes seahorses and pipefishes, diagnosed by the presence of a breeding pouch in the males, bony rings covering the body, and fused edentule jaws. Most species are marine fishes, but it includes some exclusively freshwater forms. There are 11 known species of pipefishes along the Brazilian coast, highlightening Pseudophallus mindii (Meek and Hildebrand 1923) whi…

The more than 34,000 species of Teleostei currently living exhibit a great variety of body forms and an enormous diversity of fin morphologies, which perform an important role in the swimming behavior of these fishes. The teleost pectoral girdle possesses a modest endoskeletal component (scapula, coracoid, mesocoracoid) associated with a dermal skeletal structure (cleithrum, supracleithru…
The family Scyliorhinidae is the most diverse family of sharks, comprising 17 genera and 146 species. Belonging to this family, the genus Scyliorhinus presents 16 valid species and is considered a poorly defined group of catsharks, with a varied color pattern that is extensively used in species identification. A long history of species inclusions and rearrangements is documented in the li…
The family Syngnathidae includes the seahorses and pipefishes, characterized by the presence of a breeding pouch in the males, bony rings covering the body, and fused jaws. They are predominantely marine fishes, with some estuarine and freshwater forms. There are 15 species of syngnathids in the Brazilian coast, including Pseudophallus mindii (Meek and Hildebrand 1923) which occurs in fre…
