  • A REVISION of the GAMBUSIA NICARAGUENSIS SPECIES GROUP (PISCES:POECILIIDAE) by William L. Fink ABSTRACT in Addition to Gambusia
    Reprinted from PUBLICATIONS OF THE GULF COAST RESEARCH LABORATORY MUSEUM 2:47-77, June 18, 1971 A REVISION OF THE GAMBUSIA NICARAGUENSIS SPECIES GROUP (PISCES:POECILIIDAE) by William L. Fink ABSTRACT In addition to Gambusia nicaraguensis, the species group includes G. wrayi, G. mela pleura and G. his paniolae sp. nov. G. gracilior is a junior synonym of G. wrayi and G. dominicensis is found to be a member of another species group. A key and zoogeographical notes are provided for the group. Rivas (1963) published on subgenera and species groups in the genus Gambusia. He used only gonopodial characters in defining his groups, and I believe that his system is both natural and practical. Subsequent investigation has shown a need to review his findings and to make adjust- ments in the system. I have found that G. dominicensis is a member of another species group and that the species referred to as dominicensis by Rivas (1963) is actually undescribed. Otherwise, I accept his G. nicara- guensis species group and feel that its revision will help clarify other prob- lems within the genus. METHODS.—Methods are those of Fink (1971). Abbreviations are as follows: ANSP - Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; BMNH - British Museum (Natural History); GCRL - Gulf Coast Re- search Laboratory; UMMZ - University of Michigan Museum of Zoology; USNM - United States National Museum. Unless otherwise noted, lengths are standard length (SL); descriptions of coloration are from alcoholic specimens; all material examined is not included in the tables. 47 DIAGNOSIS OF THE SPECIES GROUP.—Length of gonopodium about one-third of SL.

ZooKeys 923: 91–113. https://doi.org/10.3897/ zookeys.923.48420 Abstract Through the analysis of a comprehensive database of COI sequences, with the sequencing of 48 speci- mens, a first insight into the genetic diversity, distribution and relationships between the southern Africa “Lacustricola” species is presented. Species from “Lacustricola” occur mainly in freshwater systems within the arid savanna, and are considered to be widely distributed in southern Africa, but most of them are data deficient taxa. Two species are redescribed, “Lacustricola” johnstoni (Günther, 1894) and “Lacustri- cola” myaposae (Boulenger, 1908), based on specimens collected at their respective type localities.

  • Fish Ecology in Tropical Streams
    Author's personal copy 5 Fish Ecology in Tropical Streams Kirk O. Winemiller, Angelo A. Agostinho, and Érica Pellegrini Caramaschi I. Introduction 107 II. Stream Habitats and Fish Faunas in the Tropics 109 III. Reproductive Strategies and Population Dynamics 124 IV. Feeding Strategies and Food-Web Structure 129 V. Conservation of Fish Biodiversity 136 VI. Management to Alleviate Human Impacts and Restore Degraded Streams 139 VII. Research Needs 139 References 140 This chapter emphasizes the ecological responses of fishes to spatial and temporal variation in tropical stream habitats. At the global scale, the Neotropics has the highest fish fauna richness, with estimates ranging as high as 8000 species. Larger drainage basins tend to be associated with greater local and regional species richness. Within longitudinal stream gradients, the number of species increases with declining elevation. Tropical stream fishes encompass highly diverse repro- ductive strategies ranging from egg scattering to mouth brooding and livebearing, with reproductive seasons ranging from a few days to the entire year. Relationships between life-history strategies and population dynamics in different environmental settings are reviewed briefly. Fishes in tropical streams exhibit diverse feeding behaviors, including specialized niches, such as fin and scale feeding, not normally observed in temperate stream fishes. Many tropical stream fishes have greater diet breadth while exploiting abundant resources during the wet season, and lower diet breadth during the dry season as a consequence of specialized feeding on a subset of resources. Niche complementarity with high overlap in habitat use is usually accompanied by low dietary overlap. Ecological specializations and strong associations between form and function in tropical stream fishes provide clear examples of evolutionary convergence.

Wong Abstract Two North American species of mosquitofish, the Western (Gambusia affinis Baird and Girard, 1853) and Eastern mosquitofish (G. holbrooki Girard, 1859), rank amongst the most invasive freshwater fishes worldwide. While the existing literature suggests that G. affinis was introduced to mainland China, empirical evidence supporting this assumption was limited, and the possibility remained that both species were introduced during campaigns attempting to reduce vectors of malaria and dengue fever. We used combined molecular information (based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence variation of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene) and morphometric data (dorsal and anal fin ray counts) to confirm the presence

Drawing upon information from the present studies of the com« parative and functional morphology, distribution, and ecology of the forms of Xiphophorus (Cyprinodontiformes: R6eciliidae) and those made during the last ' quarter of a century on their. genetics, cytology, embryology, endocrinology, and ethology, the species are classified and arranged to indicate their probable phylo- genetic relationships. Their evolution and zoogeography are considered in rela- tion to a proposed center of adaptive radiation -on Mexico's Atlantic coastal plain. Five new forms are, described: X. varidtus evelynae, new subspecies; X, milleri, new specie-s; X. montezumae cortezi, new subspecies; X. pygmaeus 'nigrensis, new ' subspecies; X. heHeri aluarezi, new subspecies. To the memory of MYR6N GORDON, 1899-1959 for his quarter century of contributibns- to the biology of this and other groups of fishes.
