L. 2010. Cytogenetic characterization of Geophagus brasiliensis and two species of Gymnogeophagus (Cichlidae: Geophaginae) from Guaíba Lake, RS, Brazil. Folia biol. (Kraków) 58: 29-34. The karyotypes of three species of fish of the Cichlidae family from the Forqueta river and several locations in Guaíba lake/RS (Brazil) were analyzed. All species presented 2n=48, while Gymnogeophagus gymnogenys showed two karyotypic formulae: 4m+44st-a with FN=52 and 6m+42st-a with FN=54. Gymnogeophagus labiatus presented 4m+4sm+40st-a andFN=56and Geophagus brasiliensis 4sm+44st-a and FN=52. Simple NORs were found in all species with the exception of a population of G. gymnogenys from Saco da Alemoa/Barra do Ribeiro. CMA3 staining revealed NOR sites, while DAPI staining was negative and heterochromatin was limited to pericentromeric regions andassociatedtoNORs,exceptin G. labiatus. The data show a conserved pattern in Geophagus brasiliensis and karyotype variation in the species of Gymnogeophagus. Key words: Chromosome banding, diploid number conservation, karyotype, Perciformes.

Published online at www.vertebrate-zoology.de on May 12, 2010. > Abstract Australoheros capixaba, new species, is distributed along the rio Itaúnas, rio Barra Seca, rio São Mateus and the lower rio Doce basins. The new species is distinguished from its congeners in the rio Paraná-Uruguay system and Laguna dos Patos system by having 12 caudal vertebrae (vs. 13 – 15). Australoheros capixaba differs from the other species of Australoheros from south-eastern Brazil by its coloration in life (a reddish chest, large spots on the dorsal region of the trunk and a green iridescence on the pelvic fi ns). It also differs from some of its congeners by having a longer caudal peduncle, a longer anal- fi n spine, fewer dorsal-fi n spines and fewer anal-fi n rays. Australoheros capixaba sp. n. is the fi rst species from the genus described for the Estado do Espírito Santo, south-eastern Brazil. The phylogenetic placement of the species in the genus cannot be discussed, because there is no phylogenetic work about the Australoheros species from south-eastern Brazil. > Resumo Australoheros capixaba, nova espécie, se distribui ao longo das bacias do rio Itaúnas, rio Barra Seca, rio São Mateus e baixo rio Doce.

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.

    Zootaxa 3197: 43–54 (2012) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2012 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Krobia xinguensis, a new species of cichlid fish from the Xingu River drainage in Brazil (Teleostei: Cichlidae) SVEN O. KULLANDER Department of Vertebrate Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, PO Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Krobia xinguensis is described from localities in the headwaters and in the lower part of the rio Xingu. It is distinguished from the other two species in the genus, K. guianensis and K. itanyi, primarily by deeper caudal peduncle, and details of the colour pattern, including contrasting interorbital stripes and a small dark spot anteriorly on each side of the lower jaw. Krobia xinguensis represents a considerable range extension of the genus from the Guianas and northern tributaries of the lower Amazon, into a major south bank Amazon tributary. Key words: Aequidens, Amazon basin, endemism, taxonomy, Guiana shield, Brazilian shield Introduction Krobia was erected by Kullander & Nijssen (1989) to contain two species from the Atlantic drainages of the Gui- anas, previously classified in Aequidens Eigenmann & Bray, viz. K. guianensis (Regan) from the Essequibo drain- age in Guyana, and K. itanyi (Puyo) from the Maroni drainage in Suriname and French Guiana. Kullander & Nijssen (1989) also signalled two undescribed species from French Guiana, and over time additional species have been reported also from the lower Amazon drainage. The presence of an undescribed species of Krobia in the Xingu river basin has already been published (Stawikowski & Werner, 1998).

  • A “Precaução Padrão”
    ABSTRACTS – 2007 JOINT MEETING OF ICHTHYOLOGISTS & HERPETOLOGISTS COMPLIED BY M.A. DONNELLY (for co-authored abstracts, underlined name = presenter) Abrams, Alyssa Pheromone Production and Volatility in the Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) in Captivity Saint Louis University, St. Louis, MO, United States Snakes were collected during the summer in central Missouri and maintained in captivity at Washington University's Tyson Research Center. Snakes were maintained at 24oC and fed weekly. Beginning in late August females were tested for the presence of pheromones. Male courtship behaviors served as the bioassay for pheromone presence. All experiments were conducted in an outdoor arena lined with a disposable plastic liner. Volatility of pheromones was measured by placing the female in a clean opaque plastic container, containing 3-3mm diameter holes, on a six cm pedestal in the arena containing one male. Male behavior was observed for 30 min after which the female was removed and placed directly in the arena to determine her attractivity. All eight females tested elicited some male courtship behaviors during at least some trials. All males responded to attractive females. Males showed no interest in other males. Male behaviors included: tongue flicking, trailing, head jerking, head bobbing, head poking and tail searching. No mating was observed. In three trials, males were attracted to the cages containing the females, indication the attractivity pheromone may be volatile, however, in tests using skin wipes from attractive females no males responded. An immediately post-partum female was attractive to males. ______________________________________________________________________________ Adams, Cory; Saenz, Daniel; Pierce, Josh Anuran Use of Primary Successional Ponds USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station, Nacogdoches, TX, United States Freshwater habitats exist along a continuum ranging from short duration ephemeral sites to permanent bodies of water.

  • A New Species of the Genus Australoheros from the Rio Ribeira Do Iguape Basin, São Paulo, Brazil (Labroidei: Cichlidae: Cichlasomatinae)
    Vertebrate Zoology 58 (1) 2008 75 75 – 81 © Museum für Tierkunde Dresden, ISSN 1864-5755, 22.05.2008 A new species of the genus Australoheros from the rio Ribeira do Iguape basin, São Paulo, Brazil (Labroidei: Cichlidae: Cichlasomatinae) FELIPE P.

Published online at www.vertebrate-zoology.de on May 12, 2008. > Abstract Australoheros ribeirae, new species, described from the rio Ribeira do Iguape basin, southeastern Brazil, has a colour patter similar to several undescribed species of Rio de Janeiro Sate. However, it differs from them by having a truncate neural proc- ess of the 2nd caudal vertebra. Australoheros ribeirae differs from the other valid species of the genus by having a narrower ectopterigoid. It is distinguished from A. facetus (JENYNS, 1842) by coloration, meristic, morphometric and 2 osteological characters: a longer arm of epibranchial 1 and epibranchial 2 with two longer processes. > Resumo Australoheros ribeirae, nova espécie, é descrita para a bacia do rio Ribeira do Iguape, sudeste do Brasil, com um padrão de colorido similar às espécies não descritas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Porém, difere dessas espécies não descritas por apresentar o processo neural da segunda vértebra caudal.
