Notes on the Occurrence and Gender-Based Morphological
Notes on the occurrence and gender-based morphological aspects of Potamotrygon motoro (Elasmobranchii: Potamotrygonidae) in the complex of the Viana lake system- Maranhão, Brazil Notas sobre a ocorrência e aspectos morfológicos gênero-dependentes em Potamotrygon motoro (Elasmobranchii: Potamotrygonidae) no complexo do sistema lacustre de Viana - Maranhão, Brasil Notas sobre la ocurrencia y aspectos morfológicos basados en el género de Potamotrygon motoro (Elasmobranchii: Potamotrygonidae) en el complejo del sistema del lago Viana - Maranhão, Brasil Getulio Rincon1 Kerly C. M. Pereira1 Carlos Eduardo S. Santos1 Natascha Wosnick2 Ana Rita O. P. Nunes3 Renata D. Leite2 Ynês A. Araújo1 Isa P. Silva1 André Augusto G. Silva1 Jorge Luiz S. Nunes3 Abstract The Brazilian Amazonian coast, extending from Amapá to Maranhão states, is drained by a series of small to medium sized rivers of the Amazon basin. The Pindaré- Mearim is an isolated basin formed by the junction of the Pindaré and Mearim rivers at its lower portion. Along the Pindaré and Mearim rivers there is a single reported species of freshwater stingray identified asPotamotrygon motoro. Although specimens have been deposited in research institutions, most of these specimens have been captured on the Amazon basin and its direct tributaries or along the Panará-Paraguay river basin. Hence, there is a severe lack of information on the P. motoro of the Pindaré- Mearim river basin. Here we present new data regarding P. motoro general morphology, emphasizing the color variation, sexual dimorphism and notes on its biological aspects. 1 Universidade Federal do Maranhão-UFMA, Curso de Engenharia de Pesca.

WCS Position Statement
WCS Position Statement WCS Position Statement Species Proposals CITES CoP17 - Johannesburg, South Africa ©2016 WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY June 30th, 2016 WCS Position Statement WCS - SAVING WILDLIFE AND WILD PLACES The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) works to save wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education and inspiring people to value nature. With long-term commitments and conservation programs in dozens of landscapes and seascapes, presence in nearly 60 countries, and experience helping to establish and manage more than 280 protected areas across the globe, WCS applies its biological knowledge, cultural understanding and partnerships to help ensure that wild places and wildlife thrive alongside local communities. Working with local communities and partner governments, we apply our knowledge to address threats to species, habitats and ecosystem services, and issues critical to improving the quality of life of local people whose livelihoods often depend on natural resources*. WCS’s ‘on-the-ground’ presence across much of the globe enables us to address multiple aspects of wildlife exploitation and trade, including wildlife crime, at all points along the trade chain in source, transit and consumer countries. In addressing the illegal wildlife trade, a key WCS priority, we pursue our three- pronged global strategy to stop the killing, stop the trafficking, and stop the demand so as to safeguard the future of the many species that are threatened by illegal trade. Similarly, much of our field research and related conservation efforts support the design and implementation of science-based conservation and management strategies that will not only conserve and protect species but also enhance sustainability in the exploitation of species while improving benefits to local communities and economies from sustainable use regimes, when relevant and appropriate. -

In South American Freshwater Stingrays (Batoidea; Potamotrygonidae)
Diversification and Species Boundaries of Rhinebothrium (Cestoda; Rhinebothriidea) in South American Freshwater Stingrays (Batoidea; Potamotrygonidae) Florian B. Reyda1,3*, Fernando P. L. Marques2 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Conneticut, United States of America, 2 Laborato´rio de Helmintologia Evolutiva, Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biocieˆncias, Universidade de Sa˜o Paulo, Sa˜o Paulo, Brazil, 3 Biology Department and Biological Field Station, State University of New York College at Oneonta, Oneonta, New York, United States of America Abstract Background: Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Batoidea: Potamotrygonidae) host a diverse parasite fauna, including cestodes. Both cestodes and their stingray hosts are marine-derived, but the taxonomy of this host/parasite system is poorly understood. Methodology: Morphological and molecular (Cytochrome oxidase I) data were used to investigate diversity in freshwater lineages of the cestode genus Rhinebothrium Linton, 1890. Results were based on a phylogenetic hypothesis for 74 COI sequences and morphological analysis of over 400 specimens. Cestodes studied were obtained from 888 individual potamotrygonids, representing 14 recognized and 18 potentially undescribed species from most river systems of South America. Results: Morphological species boundaries were based mainly on microthrix characters observed with scanning electron microscopy, and were supported by COI data. Four species were recognized, including two redescribed (Rhinebothrium copianullum and R. paratrygoni), and two newly described (R. brooksi n. sp. and R. fulbrighti n. sp.). Rhinebothrium paranaensis Menoret & Ivanov, 2009 is considered a junior synonym of R. paratrygoni because the morphological features of the two species overlap substantially. The diagnosis of Rhinebothrium Linton, 1890 is emended to accommodate the presence of marginal longitudinal septa observed in R. -

Artificial Insemination and Parthenogenesis in the Whitespotted Bamboo Shark Chiloscyllium Plagiosum
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Artifcial insemination and parthenogenesis in the whitespotted bamboo shark Chiloscyllium plagiosum Jennifer T. Wyfels1,7*, Lance M. Adams2, Frank Bulman3, Ari Fustukjian4,8, Michael W. Hyatt5,9, Kevin A. Feldheim6 & Linda M. Penfold1 Non-lethal methods for semen collection from elasmobranchs to better understand species reproduction has accompanied the development of artifcial insemination. Ejaculates (n = 82) collected from whitespotted bamboo sharks Chiloscyllium plagiosum (n = 19) were assessed and cold-stored raw or extended at 4 °C. Females (n = 20) were inseminated with fresh or 24–48 h cold-stored raw or extended semen and paternity of ofspring determined with microsatellite markers. Insemination of females with fresh semen (n = 10) resulted in 80 hatchlings and 27.6% fertility. Insemination of females with semen cold-stored 24 h (n = 4) and 48 h (n = 1) semen resulted in 17 hatchlings and fertilization rates of 28.1% and 7.1% respectively. Two females inseminated with fresh or cold-stored semen laid eggs that hatched from fertilization and parthenogenesis within the same clutch. Parthenogenesis rate for inseminated females was 0.71%. Results demonstrate artifcial insemination with cold-stored semen can provide a strategy for transport of male genetics nationally and internationally, precluding the need to transport sharks. Production of parthenotes in the same clutch as sexually fertilized eggs highlights the prevalence of parthenogenesis in whitespotted bamboo sharks and poses important considerations for population management. Whitespotted bamboo sharks Chiloscyllium plagiosum are endemic to the Indo-West Pacifc Ocean and common in aquariums worldwide because of their longevity, successful reproduction under managed care and small size.
