Zawadzki2 1Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Departamento de Biologia Celular e Genética, Maringá, PR, Brazil. 2Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Departamento de Biologia/Nupelia, Maringá, PR, Brazil. Abstract Two syntopic morphotypes of the genus Hypostomus - H. nigromaculatus and H. cf. nigromaculatus (Atlântico Stream, Paraná State) - were compared through the allozyme electrophoresis technique. Twelve enzymatic systems (AAT, ADH, EST, GCDH, G3PDH, GPI, IDH, LDH, MDH, ME, PGM and SOD) were analyzed, attributing the score of 20 loci, with a total of 30 alleles. Six loci were diagnostic (Aat-2, Gcdh-1, Gpi-A, Idh-1, Ldh-A and Mdh-A), indicating the presence of interjacent reproductive isolation. The occurrence of few polymorphic loci acknowledge two morphotypes, with heterozygosity values He = 0.0291 for H. nigromaculatus and He = 0.0346 for H. cf. nigromaculatus. FIS statistics demonstrated fixation of the alleles in the two morphotypes. Genetic identity (I) and dis- tance (D) of Nei (1978) values were I = 0.6515 and D = 0.4285. The data indicate that these two morphotypes from the Atlântico Stream belong to different species. Key words: allozymes, Hypostomus nigromaculatus, fish genetics, genetic distance and polymorphism.

  • Overview of Parana Delta1 Parana River
    Overview of Parana Delta1 Author: Verónica M.E. Zagare2 Parana River The Parana River is considered the third largest river in the American Continent, after the Mississippi in the United States and the Amazonas in Brazil. It is located in South America and it runs through Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, where it flows into the Río de la Plata. Its length is 2570 Km and its basin surface is around 1.51 million km2. The two initial tributaries of the Parana are the Paranaiba River and the Grande River, both in Brazil, but the most important tributary is the Paraguay River, located in homonymous country. In comparison with other rivers, the Paraná is about half the length of the Mississippi River (6211 km), but it has similar flow. Parana River’s mean streamflow is 18500 m3/s (Menendez, 2002) and Mississippi’s flow is 17704 m3/s. Thus, the Parana has twice the length of the Rhine (1320 km), but it has 8 times its flow (2300 m3/s). Figure 1: Parana River location. Source: Zagare, V.

Email: v.m.e.zagare @tudelft.nl Through the Parana Delta and the Rio de la Plata estuary drains to the Atlantic Ocean the second major hydrographic basin of South America (La Plata Basin). From a geologic perspective, the complex system of the delta and the estuary are considered a dynamic sedimentary geologic- hydrologic unit which has a vital relevance not only for the region -a high populated area with more than 22 million inhabitants- but also for the hydrology of South American continent.

  • 1 Regional Project/Programme
    REGIONAL PROJECT/PROGRAMME PROPOSAL PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMME INFORMATION Climate change adaptation in vulnerable coastal cities and ecosystems of the Uruguay River. Countries: Argentina Republic and Oriental Republic of Uruguay Thematic Focal Area1: Disaster risk reduction and early warning systems Type of Implementing Entity: Regional Implementing Entity (RIE) Implementing Entity: CAF – Corporación Andina de Fomento (Latin American Development Bank) Executing Entities: Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Argentina and Ministry of Housing, Land Planning and Environment of Uruguay. Amount of Financing 13.999.996 USD (in U.S Dollars Equivalent) Requested: 1 Project / Programme Background and Context: 1.1. Problem to be addressed – regional perspective 1. The Project’s implementation is focused on the lower Uruguay river´s littoral area, specifically in the vulnerable coastal cities and ecosystems in both Argentinean and Uruguayan territories. The lower Uruguay river´s littoral plays a main role being a structuring element for territorial balance since most cities and port-cities are located in it, with borther bridges between the two countries (Fray Bentos – Gualeguaychú; Paysandú – Colón; and Salto – Concordia). The basin of the Uruguay river occupies part of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, with a total area of approximately 339.000 Km2 and an average flow rate of 4.500 m3 s-1. It´s origin is located in Serra do Mar (Brazil), and runs for 1.800 Km until it reaches Río de la Plata. A 32% of its course flows through Brazilian territory, 38% forms the Brazil-Argentina boundary and a 30% forms the Argentina-Uruguay boundary. 2. The Project’s area topography is characterized by a homogeneous landform without high elevations, creating meandric waterways, making it highly vulnerable to floods as one of its main hydro-climatic threats, which has been exacerbated by the effects of climate change (CC).

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.

Review of the Apistogramma species, with description of a new species (Teleostei, Cichlidae).-Zool. Scr. 11: 307-313. Apistogramma inconspicua sp.n. is described from the Rio Candclaria in the Rio GuaporC drainage in Bolivia, and recorded also from Caceres on the Rio Paraguay in Brazil. The new species is closely related to the Paraguayan species A. commbrae (Regan) and an undescribed species in the GuaporC drainage system. These species share a specialized feature in the colour pattern, viz. an expanded vertical bar on the caudal peduncle which it confluent with the caudal spot. The now presumably complete record of Paraguayan Apistogramma species allows an analytical key to be given. Of the additional species, A. borellii (Regan) and A. rrifasciata (Eigenmann & Kennedy) represent two distinct lineages. Apistogramma pleurotaenia (Regan) is probably a La Plata basin species, although no localities are known, and its relationship remain obscure. The assemblage of Paraguayan Apistogramma species reflects the heterogeneity of the Paraguayan cichlid fauna as a whole. Sven 0.

  • Freshwater Fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of Species Names Dedicated to Persons
    Ichthyological Contributions of PecesCriollos 18: 1-18 (2011) 1 Freshwater fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of species names dedicated to persons. Stefan Koerber Friesenstr. 11, 45476 Muelheim, Germany, [email protected] Since the beginning of the binominal nomenclature authors dedicate names of new species described by them to persons they want to honour, mostly to the collectors or donators of the specimens the new species is based on, to colleagues, or, in fewer cases, to family members. This paper aims to provide a list of these names used for freshwater fishes from Argentina. All listed species have been reported from localities in Argentina, some regardless the fact that by our actual knowledge their distribution in this country might be doubtful. Years of birth and death could be taken mainly from obituaries, whereas those of living persons or publicly unknown ones are hard to find and missing in some accounts. Although the real existence of some persons from ancient Greek mythology might not be proven they have been included here, while the names of indigenous tribes and spirits are not. If a species name does not refer to a first family name, cross references are provided. Current systematical stati were taken from the online version of Catalog of Fishes.

Until now, 14 species of cichlid fish 13 have been registered from this area. After an exhaustive review of museum collections 14 (Museo de Historia Natural Noel Kempff Mercado y Colección Boliviana de Fauna), we can 15 report three additional species: Astronotus crassipinnis (Heckel, 1840), Mesonauta festivus 16 (Heckel, 1840) and Satanoperca pappaterra (Heckel, 1840). Four other species, which have 17 been listed in previous publications, can be confirmed for the La Plata drainage of Bolivia 18 based on the examination of voucher specimens: Aequidens plagiozonatus Kullander, 1984, 19 Apistogramma commbrae (Regan, 1906), A. trifasciata (Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903) and 20 Crenicichla vittata Heckel, 1840.

  • (Testudines: Chelidae) in Southern Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 147-152 (2018) (published online on 10 February 2018) New records, threats and conservation of Phrynops williamsi (Testudines: Chelidae) in Southern Brazil Tobias S. Kunz1,2, Ivo R. Ghizoni-Jr.1, Jorge J. Cherem1, Raissa F. Bressan1,2,*, Simone B. Leonardi2 and Juliana C. Zanotelli2 Abstract. We present new records of Phrynops williamsi in southern Brazil and field observations that point to at least three threats to the species in the Upper Uruguay River Basin. Our report provides for the first time direct observation of death and injuries as a consequence of falls from dams and walls of hydroelectric plants shortly after the reservoir formation, apparently as an attempt to abandon the artificial lakes; it also corroborates the species’ dependence on lotic environments, justifying the increasing concern with its conservation in southern Brazil. Keywords: Geographic distribution, freshwater turtle, hydroelectric dams, environmental licensing, Uruguay River Introduction quality. This is mainly due to the sequential formation of hydroelectric dams in the Iguaçu and Uruguay river Phrynops williamsi Rhodin and Mittermeier, 1983 basins, respectively; because it has disappeared from is a poorly known freshwater turtle that inhabits free areas of these basins which were flooded after the flowing rivers with rocky bottoms in southern Brazil, formation of hydroelectric reservoirs, apparently due Uruguay, north-eastern Argentina and south-eastern to the transformation of a lotic to a lentic environment.
