Resumo

The freshwater prawnsMacrobrachium amazonicumandM. pantanalenseare phylogenetically closely related. The present study analysed the occurrence of copulation between these two species. Specimens ofM. amazonicumwere collected from the Tiete River in Cambaratiba (SP), whereasM. pantanalensespecimens were collected from the Lagoa Baiazinha, in Miranda (MS). Six different experimental groups were used, MA male x MP female, MA female x MP male (interspecifc), MA male x MA female, MP male x MP female (intraspecific), MA female and MP female (individualised; MA = M. amazonicumand MP = M. pantanalense). The incubation times of the ovigerous females were monitored in all experiments. Some females from all experimental groups were randomly selected and had their oocytes photographed to verify the occurrence of embryonic development. No larvae hatched in the interspecific experimental groups, whereas, in intraspecific groups, almost all experiments (95%) presented larval hatching. The incubation period differed significantly (P < 0.001) between the intraspecific groups and all the other experimental groups, but not between each other (P > 0.05). The interspecific and individualised groups showed no significant (P > 0.05) difference between them. In addition, oocytes from the interspecific experimental groups did not present characteristics of embryonic development. Our results suggest thatM. pantanalenseandM. amazonicumpopulations do not copulate, which corroborates the proposal of recent speciation. (AU)
