Ecomorphological Patterns of the Fish Assemblage in a Tropical Floodplain: Effects of Trophic, Spatial and Phylogenetic Structures
Neotropical Ichthyology, 8(3):569-586, 2010 Copyright © 2010 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Ecomorphological patterns of the fish assemblage in a tropical floodplain: effects of trophic, spatial and phylogenetic structures Edson Fontes Oliveira1,2, Erivelto Goulart1, Luciani Breda1, Carolina Viviana Minte-Vera1, Luiz Ricardo de Souza Paiva1 and Melina Rizzato Vismara1 Ecomorphological patterns of the fish assemblage from the upper Paraná River floodplain, Brazil, were described and evaluated according to trophic (guilds), spatial (habitats) and phylogenetic (taxonomic distances) structures. The samples were obtained through the Long Term Research Project (LTER-CNPq/UEM/NUPELIA) in August and October 2001. Thirty-five species were analyzed from thirty-one morphological variables. Strong significant correlations (Mantel test) between morphology and trophic guilds and between morphology and taxonomy were found, while morphology and habitat revealed a weak correlation. However, the partial Mantel test showed that the correlations between morphology and trophic guilds persist even when the effect of taxonomy is discounted. The ecomorphological pattern shown by the Principal Component Analysis separated species according to locomotion structures used in feeding. At one extreme there are the piscivores and insectivores that exploit lentic habitats and have compressed bodies and well developed anal fins, while at the other there are detritivores and invertivores that exploit lotic and semi-lotic habitats and have depressed bodies and well developed pectoral, pelvic and caudal fins. Canonical Discriminant Analysis using ecomorphological variables successfully predicted 94.5% of the trophic guild ecomorphotypes, but only 57.1% of the habitat ecomorphotypes. These data indicate that the fish assemblage of the upper Paraná River floodplain is structured ecomorphologically mainly according to trophic structure rather than habitat. -

About 26,840 species are contained within the Teleostei, accounting for more than half of all living vertebrates and over 96% of all living fishes. Teleosts comprise 517 families, of which 69 are extinct, leaving 448 extant families; of these, about 43% have no fossil record.

This type of tail primitively results from an ontogenetic fusion of centra (bodies of vertebrae) and the possession of paired bracing bones located bilaterally along the dorsal region of the caudal skeleton, derived ontogenetically from the neural arches (uroneurals) of the ural (tail) centra. -

Generally, in this group, the upper jaw consists of the premaxilla, maxilla, and supramaxilla. The lower jaw consists of the dentary, anguloarticular, retroarticular, and sesamoid articular. In higher taxa, the premaxilla bears ascending, articular, and postmaxillary processes. The maxilla usually bears a ventral and a dorsal articular process. The supramaxilla is present only in some taxa. The dentary is usually toothed and bears coronoid and posteroventral processes. The retroarticular is small and located at the posteroventral corner of the anguloarticular.

Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(4): 737-746, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20140038 A new colorful species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), endemic to the rio Aripuanã in the Amazon basin of Brazil Gabriel C. Deprá1, Sven O. Kullander2, Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 and Weferson J. da Graça4 Geophagus mirabilis, new species, is endemic to the rio Aripuanã drainage upstream from Dardanelos/Andorinhas falls. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus by the presence of one to five large black spots arranged longitudinally along the middle of the flank, in addition to the black midlateral spot that is characteristic of species in the genus and by a pattern of iridescent spots and lines on the head in living specimens. It is further distinguished from all congeneric species, except G. camopiensis and G. crocatus, by the presence of seven (vs. eight or more) scale rows in the circumpeduncular series below the lateral line (7 in G. crocatus; 7-9 in G. camopiensis). Including the new species, five cichlids and 11 fish species in total are known only from the upper rio Aripuanã, and 15 fish species in total are known only from the rio Aripuanã drainage. Geophagus mirabilis, espécie nova, é endêmica da drenagem do rio Aripuanã, a montante das quedas de Dardanelos/ Andorinhas. A espécie nova se distingue de todas as outras espécies do gênero pela presença de uma a cinco manchas pretas grandes distribuídas longitudinalmente ao longo do meio do flanco, em adição à mancha preta no meio do flanco característica das espécies do gênero, e por um padrão de pontos e linhas iridescentes sobre a cabeça em espécimes vivos. -

Varella* and Mark H. Sabaj Pérez** Apistogramma kullanderi, new species, is described from the upper rio Curuá (Iriri-Xingu drainage) on Serra do Cachimbo, Pará, Brazil, and diagnosed by its maximum size of 79.7 mm SL (vs. 65.3 mm SL among wild-caught congeners); mature females having the unique combination of intense dark pigmentation continuous along base of dorsal fin and on ventral surfaces from gular region to anal-fin base; and mature males having a coarse, ir- regular pattern of dark spots and vermiculations on cheek and opercular series, and sides with 10-12 dark stripes, each stripe occupying proximal limits of adjacent scale rows and separated by paler region central to each scale. Apistogramma kullanderi is tentatively allocated to the A. regani lineage, although some characteristics (e. g., large body size) are more consistent with members the A. steindachneri lineage. Apistogramma kullanderi is endemic to an upland watershed isolated by large waterfalls and depauperate of cichlid diversity. Under those conditions, we speculate that ecological opportunities, reduced competition and sexual selection contributed to the evolution of large body size in A. kullanderi.

Paiz1, Lucas Baumgärtner2, Weferson J. da Graça1,3, Vladimir P. Margarido1,2 and Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 We provide cytogenetic data for the threatened species Gymnogeophagus setequedas, and the first record of that species collected in the Iguaçu River, within the Iguaçu National Park’s area of environmental preservation, which is an unexpected occurrence for that species. We verified a diploid number of 2n = 48 chromosomes (4sm + 24st + 20a) and the presence of heterochromatin in centromeric and pericentromeric regions, which are conserved characters in the Geophagini. The multiple nucleolar organizer regions observed in G. setequedas are considered to be apomorphic characters in the Geophagini, whereas the simple 5S rDNA cistrons located interstitially on the long arm of subtelocentric chromosomes represent a plesiomorphic character. Because G. setequedas is a threatened species that occurs in lotic waters, we recommend the maintenance of undammed environments within its known area of distribution. Keywords: Chromosomes, Conservation, Iguaçu River, Karyotype, Paraná River. Fornecemos dados citogenéticos para a espécie ameaçada Gymnogeophagus setequedas, e o primeiro registro da espécie coletado no rio Iguaçu, na área de preservação ambiental do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, a qual é uma área de ocorrência inesperada para esta espécie. Verificamos em G. setequedas 2n = 48 cromossomos (4sm + 24st + 20a) e heterocromatina presente nas regiões centroméricas e pericentroméricas, as quais indicam caracteres conservados em Geophagini. -

Comparative Cytogenetics 8(3): 169–183. doi: 10.3897/CompCytogen.v8i3.7279 Abstract A comparative cytogenetic analysis was carried out in five species of a monophyletic clade of neotropical Cichlasomatine cichlids, namely Cleithracara maronii Steindachner, 1881, Ivanacara adoketa (Kullander & Prada-Pedreros, 1993), Nannacara anomala Regan, 1905, N. aureocephalus Allgayer, 1983 and N. tae- nia Regan, 1912. Karyotypes and other chromosomal characteristics were revealed by CDD banding and mapped onto the phylogenetic hypothesis based on molecular analyses of four genes, namely cyt b, 16S rRNA, S7 and RAG1. The diploid numbers of chromosomes ranged from 44 to 50, karyotypes were com- posed predominantly of monoarmed chromosomes and one to three pairs of CMA3 signal were observed.
