Elapomorphini is a clade of Neotropical snakes that includes at least four genera, whose species occur from the Guianas to Patagonia. The tribe's most diverse genus is Apostolepis, with about 35 species currently recognized. Besides being historically contentious from the taxonomic perspective, several of its species are known from a small number of specimens, so that knowledge not only a…
Hypsolebias janaubensis (Costa, 2006), popularly known as the Cloud Fish of Janaúba, is an annual killifish species (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) which, similar to many other species in that group, is threatened with extinction, being currently classified as Critically Endangered (CR). Despite evoking great interest due to their specialized life cycles, morphological studies on these fi…
Evolutionary convergence is a recurring phenomenon in several groups of organisms in which two or more species share characters that were not present in their common ancestor. This project aims to study an extreme example of this phenomenon in the group of bony fishes popularly known as catfishes (Teleostei: Siluriformes), which includes an amazingly diverse variety of species and shapes.…
Polypteriformes is one of the basalmost bony fish orders, including up to date 12 valid species on the genera Polypterus and Erpetoichthys. The group is morphologically very singular, combining both exclusive features, not seen in other extant bony fishes, and features shared by different basal lineages of Gnathostomata. As result, Polypteriformes have been subjected to several morphologi…
Fish species living at the subterranean environment share particular features that can be related to its life habit in a distinctive selective regime, characterized by environmental constraints. Studying the patterns of morphological modification on these species may help to elucidate questions about how colonization of the subterranean environment is accomplished and how organisms respon…

Digital scanning has recently been incorporated into the study of Fish Morphology. It has been gaining relevance, since it is a non-invasive image rendering tool that can be used to precisely document and analyze the anatomy, with high accuracy and precision (Ford, 2023). In this context, this BEPE proposal aims to incorporate a digital scanning technique, computed tomography (CT), into t…
There has been a long discussion in morphological literature about the role of the laterosensory sys-tem, especially the canal-inducing neuromasts, in the formation of dermal bones. Some authors de-fend the hypothesis of a developmental integration between the laterosensory canal system and some of the dermal bones of the skull, and consequently assume that the presence of canals should b…
