ORIENTADOR : José Celso de Oliveira Malta, Dr. Tese de Doutorado apresentada ao Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia como parte dos requisitos para a obtenção do título de Doutor em Biologia de Água Doce e Pesca Interior. Manaus, Amazonas Abril 201 Sinopse Este trabalho faz parte do projeto PIATAM (Inteligência Socioambiental Estratégica da Indústria do Petróleo na Amazônia), projeto que estuda os efeitos da mineração do petróleo e de seu transporte entre os municípios de Manaus e Coari no Estado do Amazonas. As coletas dos peixes para as análises parasitológicas foram realizadas entre março a dezembro de 2013. Foram coletados e identificadas 43 espécies parasitas em três hospedeiros: 35 em Serrasalmus altispinis, 06 em Raphiodon vulpinus e 08 em Acestrorhynchus falcatus. Do total das espécies 20 foram específicas para S. altispinis, 03 para R. vulpinis e 05 para A. falcatus. Todas as espécies identificadas em S. altispinis constituem os primeiros registros parasitários em este peixe. Em R. vulpinus e A. falcatus foram registradas novas ocorrências parasitarias. Os índices parasitológicos e descritores ecológicos calculados, bem como a análise estatística consideraram os lagos de várzea como ambientes de baixa diversidade, com a possibilidade de estar sendo afetadas por algum fator antropogênico. Dos três peixes estudados neste trabalho, S. altispinis mostrou ser a melhor espécie a ser considerada como bioindicadora dos lagos de várzea. Isto, devido a sua abundância nestes locais, fácil captura, e alta riqueza de espécies parasitas. Adicionalmente nos cálculos realizados utilizando o método Valor Indicador (IndVal), foi a única espécie hospedeira com espécies parasitas estatisticamente consideradas como bioindicadoras, as quais podem ser utilizadas para alertar possíveis mudanças ambientais nos lagos de várzea estudados. Palavras–chave: bioindicadores ambientais, metazoários parasitas, parasitismo, peixes carnívoros. i A minha mãe Victoria Morey Rios, minha amada Rubicita Nájar Reátegui, meu filho Giulianno Teseo, a minha avô Miguechita e meus avos (Víctor, Conchita e Panchito.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Speciose Family Characidae
    Oliveira et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:275 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/275 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenetic relationships within the speciose family Characidae (Teleostei: Ostariophysi: Characiformes) based on multilocus analysis and extensive ingroup sampling Claudio Oliveira1*, Gleisy S Avelino1, Kelly T Abe1, Tatiane C Mariguela1, Ricardo C Benine1, Guillermo Ortí2, Richard P Vari3 and Ricardo M Corrêa e Castro4 Abstract Background: With nearly 1,100 species, the fish family Characidae represents more than half of the species of Characiformes, and is a key component of Neotropical freshwater ecosystems. The composition, phylogeny, and classification of Characidae is currently uncertain, despite significant efforts based on analysis of morphological and molecular data. No consensus about the monophyly of this group or its position within the order Characiformes has been reached, challenged by the fact that many key studies to date have non-overlapping taxonomic representation and focus only on subsets of this diversity. Results: In the present study we propose a new definition of the family Characidae and a hypothesis of relationships for the Characiformes based on phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of two mitochondrial and three nuclear genes (4,680 base pairs). The sequences were obtained from 211 samples representing 166 genera distributed among all 18 recognized families in the order Characiformes, all 14 recognized subfamilies in the Characidae, plus 56 of the genera so far considered incertae sedis in the Characidae. The phylogeny obtained is robust, with most lineages significantly supported by posterior probabilities in Bayesian analysis, and high bootstrap values from maximum likelihood and parsimony analyses.

  • Reproductive Characteristics of Characid Fish Species (Teleostei
    Reproductive characteristics of characid fish species (Teleostei... 469 Reproductive characteristics of characid fish species (Teleostei, Characiformes) and their relationship with body size and phylogeny Marco A. Azevedo Setor de Ictiologia, Museu de Ciências Naturais, Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, Rua Dr. Salvador França, 1427, 90690-000 Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. In this study, I investigated the reproductive biology of fish species from the family Characidae of the order Characiformes. I also investigated the relationship between reproductive biology and body weight and interpreted this relationship in a phylogenetic context. The results of the present study contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the reproductive strategies present in the species of this family. Most larger characid species and other characiforms exhibit a reproductive pattern that is generally characterized by a short seasonal reproductive period that lasts one to three months, between September and April. This is accompanied by total spawning, an extremely high fecundity, and, in many species, a reproductive migration. Many species with lower fecundity exhibit some form of parental care. Although reduction in body size may represent an adaptive advantage, it may also require evolutionary responses to new biological problems that arise. In terms of reproduction, smaller species have a tendency to reduce the number of oocytes that they produce. Many small characids have a reproductive pattern similar to that of larger characiforms. On the other hand they may also exhibit a range of modifications that possibly relate to the decrease in body size and the consequent reduction in fecundity.

  • Eigenmann) with Remarks on the Phylogeny of the Stevardiinae (Teleostei: Characidae
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 11(4):747-766, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Phylogenetic relationships of the enigmatic Carlastyanax aurocaudatus (Eigenmann) with remarks on the phylogeny of the Stevardiinae (Teleostei: Characidae) Juan Marcos Mirande1, Fernando Camargo Jerep2 and James Anyelo Vanegas-Ríos3 The monotypic genus Carlastyanax Géry was defined to include Astyanax aurocaudatus, a morphologically odd species having, among other features, four teeth in the posterior premaxillary row and eight branched dorsal-fin rays. Later on, the characters used to define Carlastyanax were considered as invalid and this genus was synonymized with Astyanax. In this paper, we include Astyanax aurocaudatus in a phylogeny of the Characidae and obtain a sister-group relationship between this species and Creagrutus, within the Stevardiinae. The resurrection of Carlastyanax as a valid genus is therefore proposed. The analysis presented is the largest phylogeny of the Stevardiinae so far published. Relationships of this subfamily are also discussed. El género monotípico Carlastyanax Géry fue definido para incluir a Astyanax aurocaudatus, una especie morfológicamente extraña que tiene, entre otras cosas, cuatro dientes en la fila posterior del premaxilar y ocho radios ramificados en la aleta dorsal. Luego, los caracteres usados para definir Carlastyanax fueron considerados inválidos y este género fue sinonimizado con Astyanax. En este artículo incluimos Astyanax aurocaudatus en una filogenia de Characidae y obtenemos una relación de grupos hermanos entre esta especie y Creagrutus, dentro de Stevardiinae. La resurrección de Carlastyanax como un género válido es aquí propuesta. Este análisis es la filogenia más grande de Stevardiinae publicada hasta el momento. Se discuten también las relaciones de esta subfamilia.

VARI I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 564 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

[email protected] Abstract Data derived from the literature supplemented by examination of specimens in collections show that 1435 species of native fishes live in the freshwaters of Colombia. These species represent 14 orders and 47 families. Orders with the largest numbers of species in the Colombian continental ichthyofauna are the Characiformes (637 species), Siluriformes (524 species), Perciformes (124 species), and Gymnotiformes (74 species), with the remaining 10 orders having from 1 to 35 species. At the family level, the Characidae has the greatest number of species (399 species), with this followed by the Loricariidae (166 species), Cichlidae (114 species), Pimelodidae (54 species), and Trichomycteridae (54 species); the remaining 42 families having 1 to 52 species. Present data indicate that 311 of the species occur solely at locations within Colombia. Continued descriptions of new species from the continental waters of Colombia demonstrate that the present total underestimates the species-level diversity of the ichthyofauna.
