    Modifications of the Digestive Tract for Holding Air in Loricariid and Scoloplacid Catfishes

    Copeia, 1998(3), pp. 663-675 Modifications of the Digestive Tract for Holding Air in Loricariid and Scoloplacid Catfishes JONATHAN W. ARMBRUSTER Loricariid catfishes have evolved several modifications of the digestive tract that • appear to fWIction as accessory respiratory organs or hydrostatic organs. Adapta­ tions include an enlarged stomach in Pterygoplichthys, Liposan:us, Glyptoperichthys, Hemiancistrus annectens, Hemiancistrus maracaiboensis, HyposWmus panamensis, and Lithoxus; a U-shaped diverticulum in Rhinelepis, Pseudorinelepis, Pogonopoma, and Po­ gonopomoides; and a ringlike diverticulum in Otocinclus. Scoloplacids, closely related to loricariids, have enlarged, clear, air-filled stomachs similar to that of Lithoxus. The ability to breathe air in Otocinclus was confirmed; the ability of Lithoxus and Scoloplax to breathe air is inferred from morphology. The diverticula of Pogonopomoides and Pogonopoma are similar to swim bladders and may be used as hydrostatic organs. The various modifications of the stomach probably represent characters that define monophyletic clades. The ovaries of Lithoxus were also examined and were sho~ to have very few (15--17) mature eggs that were large (1.6-2.2 mm) for the small size of the fish (38.6-41.4 mm SL). Los bagres loricariid an desarrollado varias modificaciones del canal digestivo que aparentan fWIcionar como organos accesorios de respiracion 0 organos hidrostati­ cos. Las adaptaciones incluyen WI estomago agrandado en Pterygoplichthys, Liposar­ cus, Glyproperichthys, Hemiancistrus annectens, Hemiancistrus maracaiboensis, Hyposto­ mus panamensis, y Lithoxus; WI diverticulum en forma de U en Rhinelepis, Pseudori­ nelepis, Pogonopoma, y Pogonopomoides; y WI diverticulum en forma de circulo en Otocinclus. Scoloplacids, de relacion cercana a los loricariids, tienen estomagos cla­ ros, agrandados, llenos de aire similares a los de Lithoxus.

    Notes on the Venezuelan Species of Farlowella (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) R

    Notes on the Venezuelan Species of Farlowella (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) R. Shane Linder In 1996, Retzer and Page published their findings on the systematics of the stick catfishes of the genus Farlowella. Prior to this publication, there were no less than 37 described species of Farlowella. Eleven of these species were described from Venezuela. After a careful review of the previously described species, Retzer and Page validated 25 species in the genus, of which, eight are found in Venezuela. Retzer and Page divided the genus into seven species groups: F. curtirostra group. F. mariaelenae group, F. nattereri group, F. acus group, F. amazona group, F. knerii group, and a group of species of uncertain phylogenetic origins. In the paper, they also described six new Farlowella species. Of the above species groups, members of the F. curtirostra, F. mariaelenae, F. nattereri, and F. acus groups are found in Venezuela as well as the species F. oxyrryncha (Kner, 1853) that is of uncertain relation to the known species groups. The F. curtirostra group consists of two species that are restricted to the Lake Maracaibo basin. Interestingly, these are the only two species of Farlowella found in the basin. F. mariaelanae Martin Salazar, 1964 is the only member of its species group and is found throughout the Orinoco drainage and in the Rios Meta and Guaviare in Colombia. From the Amazonian F. nattereri group, only F. odontotumulus Retzer and Page, 1996 is present in the southern most part of Venezuela. The majority of Venezuelan Farlowella belong to the F. acus group that is found throughout the Orinoco basin and in the coastal Rio Yaracuy drainage.

In this study, we describe the first record of phoretic interaction between larvae of Ichthyocladius sp. and the fish Hisonotus chromodontus in streams in the Amazon basin. Between July 2010 and March 2019, fish were collected from three streams of the Teles Pires River basin in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. We investigated the attachment site of chironomid larvae on the body of fish and the frequency of attachment.

Traldi1, Roberto L. Lui2, Juliana de F. Martinez3, Marcelo R. Vicari4, Viviane Nogaroto4, Orlando Moreira Filho3 and Daniel R. Blanco5 The transposable elements (TE) have been widely applied as physical chromosome markers. However, in Loricariidae there are few physical mapping analyses of these elements. Considering the importance of transposable elements for chromosomal evolution and genome organization, this study conducted the physical chromosome mapping of retroelements (RTEs) Rex1, Rex3 and Rex6 in seven species of the genus Harttia and four species of the genus Hypostomus, aiming to better understand the organization and dynamics of genomes of Loricariidae species. The results showed an intense accumulation of RTEs Rex1, Rex3 and Rex6 and dispersed distribution in heterochromatic and euchromatic regions in the genomes of the species studied here. The presence of retroelements in some chromosomal regions suggests their participation in various chromosomal rearrangements. In addition, the intense accumulation of three retroelements in all species of Harttia and Hypostomus, especially in euchromatic regions, can indicate the participation of these elements in the diversification and evolution of these species through the molecular domestication by genomes of hosts, with these sequences being a co-option for new functions.

Ferrington Jr. 17 July 2003 ABSTRACT FOR THE THIENEMANN HONORARY LECTURE THE ROLE OF CHROMOSOMES IN CHIRONOMID SYSTEMATICS, ECOLOGY AND PHYLOGENY WOLFGANG F. WUELKER* Chironomids have giant chromosomes with useful characters: different chromosome number, different combination of chromosome arms, number and position of nucleolar organizers, amount of heterochromatin, presence of puffs and Balbiani rings, banding pattern. For comparison of species, it is important that the bands or groups of bands can be homologized. Chromosomes are nearly independent of environmental factors, however they show variability in form of structural modifications and inversion polymorphism. Systematic aspects: New species of chironomids have sometimes been found on the basis of chromosomes, e.g. morphologically well defined "species" turned out to contain two or more karyotypes. Chromosome preparations were also sometimes declared as species holotypes. Moreover, chromosomes were helpful to find errors in previous investigations or to rearrange groups.- Nevertheless, where morphology and chromosomal data are not sufficient for species identification, additional results of electrophoresis of enzymes or hemoglobins as well as molecular-biological data were often helpful and necessary . Ecological, parasitological and zoogeographical aspects: An example of niche formation are the endemic Sergentia-species of the 1500 m deep Laike Baikal in Siberia. Some species are stenobathic and restricted to certain depth regions. The genetic sex of nematode-infested Chironomus was unresolved for a long time. External morphological characters were misleading, because parasitized midges have predominantly female characters. However, transfer of the parasites to species with sex-linked chromosomal characters (strains of Camptochironomus) could show that half of the parasitized midges are genetic males.
