  • Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

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.

  • Towards a Regional Information Base for Lake Tanganyika Research
    RESEARCH FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FISHERIES ON LAKE GCP/RAF/271/FIN-TD/Ol(En) TANGANYIKA GCP/RAF/271/FIN-TD/01 (En) January 1992 TOWARDS A REGIONAL INFORMATION BASE FOR LAKE TANGANYIKA RESEARCH by J. Eric Reynolds FINNISH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Bujumbura, January 1992 The conclusions and recommendations given in this and other reports in the Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika Project series are those considered appropriate at the time of preparation. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the Project. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of FAO or FINNIDA concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or concerning the determination of its frontiers or boundaries. PREFACE The Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika project (Tanganyika Research) became fully operational in January 1992. It is executed by the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Finnish International Development Agency (FINNIDA). This project aims at the determination of the biological basis for fish production on Lake Tanganyika, in order to permit the formulation of a coherent lake-wide fisheries management policy for the four riparian States (Burundi, Tanzania, Zaïre and Zambia). Particular attention will be also given to the reinforcement of the skills and physical facilities of the fisheries research units in all four beneficiary countries as well as to the buildup of effective coordination mechanisms to ensure full collaboration between the Governments concerned.

  • Depth Segregation and Diet Disparity Revealed by Stable Isotope Analyses
    Hata et al. Zoological Letters (2015) 1:15 DOI 10.1186/s40851-015-0016-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Depth segregation and diet disparity revealed by stable isotope analyses in sympatric herbivorous cichlids in Lake Tanganyika Hiroki Hata1*, Jyunya Shibata2,3, Koji Omori2, Masanori Kohda4 and Michio Hori5 Abstract Background: Lake Tanganyika in the African Great Rift Valley is known as a site of adaptive radiation in cichlid fishes. Diverse herbivorous fishes coexist on a rocky littoral of the lake. Herbivorous cichlids have acquired multiple feeding ecomorphs, including grazer, browser, scraper, and scooper, and are segregated by dietary niche. Within each ecomorph, however, multiple species apparently coexist sympatrically on a rocky slope. Previous observations of their behavior show that these cichlid species inhabit discrete depths separated by only a few meters. In this paper, using carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotope ratios as markers, we followed the nutritional uptake of cichlid fishes from periphyton in their feeding territories at various depths. Results: δ15N of fish muscles varied among cichlid ecomorphs; this was significantly lower in grazers than in browsers and scoopers, although δ15N levels in periphyton within territories did not differ among territorial species. This suggests that grazers depend more directly on primary production of periphyton, while others ingest animal matter from higher trophic levels. With respect to δ13C, only plankton eaters exhibited lower values, suggesting that these fishes depend on production of phytoplankton, while the others depend on production of periphyton. Irrespective of cichlid ecomorph, δ13C of periphyton correlated significantly with habitat depth, and decreased as habitat depth became deeper.

  • Species Assessments
    Species Assessments The following 787 species in trade were assessed by researchers at the University of Notre Dame using STAIRfish. Only seven were likely to establish in the Great Lakes. Of these seven, only Ictalurus furcatus (blue catfish), Leuciscus idus (ide), Morone saxatilis (striped bass) and Silurus glanis (Wels catfish) were identified as likely to have a high impact.

    1 Social reversal of sex-biased aggression and dominance in a biparental cichlid fish 2 (Julidochromis marlieri) 3 Kelsey J Wood, Victoria H Zero and Suzy CP Renn 4 5 Department of Biology, Reed College, 3203 SE Woodstock Blvd, Portland OR, 97202 6 Corresponding author: Suzy Renn, phone: 1-(503)-571-7667 fax: 1-(503)-777-7773 email: 7 [email protected] 8 9 word count: ~4900 10 11 12 ABSTRACT 13 14 In biparental species, aggression, dominance and parental care are typically sexually dimorphic. 15 While behavioural dimorphism is often strongly linked to biological sex, the environment, either 16 social or ecological, may influence sex-biased behaviour in some species. In the biparental 17 cichlid fish Julidochromis marlieri, large females paired with smaller males characterizes the 18 typical social environment. While both sexes are capable of providing territory defence and 19 parental care, the larger female provides the majority of defence, while the smaller male 20 remains in the nest guarding their offspring. We examine the contributions of sex and relative 21 mate size in these sex-biased behaviours in monogamous J. marlieri pairs. Both female-larger 22 and male-larger pairs were formed in the lab and were observed for territorial aggression 23 (against both conspecifics and heterospecifics), dominance, and parental care. In female-larger 24 pairs, territorial aggression and intra-pair dominance were female-biased, while in male-larger 25 pairs this bias was reversed. For both pairing types, the presence of an intruder amplified sex 26 differences in territorial aggression, with the larger fish always attacking with greater frequency 27 than its mate.
