Abe et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:152 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/152 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Systematic and historical biogeography of the Bryconidae (Ostariophysi: Characiformes) suggesting a new rearrangement of its genera and an old origin of Mesoamerican ichthyofauna Kelly T Abe, Tatiane C Mariguela, Gleisy S Avelino, Fausto Foresti and Claudio Oliveira* Abstract Background: Recent molecular hypotheses suggest that some traditional suprageneric taxa of Characiformes require revision, as they may not constitute monophyletic groups. This is the case for the Bryconidae. Various studies have proposed that this family (considered a subfamily by some authors) may be composed of different genera. However, until now, no phylogenetic study of all putative genera has been conducted. Results: In the present study, we analyzed 27 species (46 specimens) of all currently recognized genera of the Bryconidae (ingroup) and 208 species representing all other families and most genera of the Characiformes (outgroup). Five genes were sequenced: 16SrRNA, Cytochrome b, recombination activating gene 1 and 2 and myosin heavy chain 6 cardiac muscle. The final matrix contained 4699 bp and was analyzed by maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses. The results show that the Bryconidae, composed of Brycon, Chilobrycon, Henochilus and Salminus, is monophyletic and is the sister group of Gasteropelecidae + Triportheidae. However, the genus Brycon is polyphyletic. Fossil studies suggest that the family originated approximately 47 million years ago (Ma) and that one of the two main lineages persisted only in trans-Andean rivers, including Central American rivers, suggesting a much older origin of Mesoamerican ichthyofauna than previously accepted. -

Brycon orbignyanus is categorized as an endangered species. This study evaluated aspects of the bio-ecology of this species that may be related to this threat, highlighting its distribution, abundance, and diet as well as the corresponding relationships between its recruitment and flood regimes. Data were obtained from different parts of the upper Paraná River (stretches free and regulated by dams) from 1986 to 2010 with more detailed data collected from the free remnant of this basin. The results indicate that no records for species exist at more than half of the sampling points located in dam-regulated sections of the Paraná River, whereas specimens were collected from 75% sites in the free plain remnant. We observed a remarkable effect of the hydrological regime on recruitment as well as distinct food demands during ontogenetic development, with adults almost exclusively consuming fruits and seeds, revealing that these individuals are supported by riparian vegetation. Thus, it is concluded that changes in the natural flood regime as well as riparian vegetation removal threaten B. -

ABSTRACT: Palustrine areas and wetlands in particular are fragile ecosystems, with high biodiversity and high ecological productivity, and they provide benefits to society. The aim of this study was to describe and classify the main soils occurring in the wetlands of the Southern Plateau of Santa Catarina, and propose criteria for identification of hydromorphic environments as an aid in demarcation of their boundaries. Soils of four wetlands, in the municipalities of Bom Jardim da Serra, Bom Retiro, Lages, and Painel were described, collected, and taxonomically classified. A transection was demarcated in each one in which soils were analyzed in sites with different degrees of hydromorphism, corresponding to the inner, transition, and outer areas. In hydromorphic areas, the content of organic matter in the soil is higher than in non-hydromorphic areas, which influences the color and classification of the soils. In these soils, Aquents, Aquepts, and * Corresponding author: Histosols predominate, and Udepts predominate in the outer area.

Anesthetic products are frequently employed during fish handling practices; however, the correct doses of the various chemicals for different species are still unknown. This study determined the ideal concentrations of benzocaine and eugenol as anesthetics used in Brycon hilarii juveniles. The fish were acquired from a commercial fish farm located in western Paraná state, Brazil, totaling 104 juveniles, with average body weight and length of 50.04 ± 20.80 g and 16.30 ± 12.32 cm respectively. The study was carried out at the Aquiculture Laboratory from the Aquaculture Management Study Group - GEMAq at the West Parana State University. Five benzocaine concentrations (50.0, 100.0, 150.0, 200.0 and 250.0 mg L-1) and seven eugenol concentrations (50.0, 100.0, 150.0, 200.0, 250.0, 300.0 and 350 mg L-1) were evaluated in order to assess the induction time to anesthesia. The fish were transferred to anesthetic-free tanks to recover, and the time needed to return to normal activity was recorded. -

Received 13 February, 2019; Accepted 23 May, 2019 The goals of this study were to evaluate dourado female egg viability submitted to stress condition caused by two different reproductive induction methods, extruded and semi-natural. Sixteen females randomly chosen were induced with pituitary extract and allocated in two groups; the first, in which oocytes were manually extruded and the second group, females were allowed to naturally spaw. Blood samples were collected for glucose, cortisol and hematocrit determinations as well as for red blood cells and white blood cells smears evaluations. A control group had its blood collected before hormonal induction. Fertilization rate was 40.6 and 91.7% for extruded and semi-natural methods, respectively, and the survival rate was higher in semi-natural groups. Both experimental groups showed higher glucose and cortisol levels compared to control group. The results for hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration and erythrocytes numbers did not differ among groups. Extruded and semi- natural procedures elevated monocytes percentage. -

Diferentes fatores relacionados com a poluição, sobrepesca, introdução de espécies exóticas, construção de barragens e destruição de vegetação ripárias podem determinar mudanças nas populações atuais e interferir em seu equilíbrio. Neste contexto, Brycon orbignyanus, popularmente conhecido como “piracanjuba”, é uma espécie de peixe ameaçada de extinção pela pesca excessiva e degradação do meio ambiente. A qualidade da carne e do seu comportamento agressivo na prática da pesca desportiva e profissional, ocorrendo concomitantemente às mudanças contínuas no habitat, resultaram no esgotamento rápido dos estoques naturais e determinaram sua entrada na lista de espécies de peixes brasileiros ameaçados de extinção. A espécie tem distribuição ao longo da bacia do Rio da Prata em áreas altamente impactadas pela ocupação demográfica, construção de barragens e atividades agrícolas em áreas marginais. Populações nativas desta espécie ocupam regiões menos afetadas, sendo atualmente restrita a poucos rios distantes de centros urbanos e pequenos afluentes onde as condições ambientais permanecem preservadas. Com o objetivo de verificar o estado de conservação das populações de B. -
Fish Species
Fish Species Dorado or Golden Dorado- Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Characiformes Family: Characidae Genus: Salminus Species: maxillosus Binomial name: Salminus maxillosus Others: Salminus cuvieri, Salminus brasiliensis Characteristics: The dorado has been often referred to as the “tigre de rio” or jaguar of the river to be more accurate. They possess a bright golden coloration, accented by rows of tiny small back dots running along their powerful streamlined bodies. Their fins have a bright red coloration and the caudal fin has a black bar along the middle through the caudal peduncle. Their massive jaws are equipped with rows of razor sharp pointy teeth, living up quite accurately to its local nickname. Dorado can reach upwards of 100cm in length and weigh as much as 45lbs (20.5kgs), more commonly in the 22-33lb (10-15kg) range. Tabarana, the silver dorado- Classification- Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Characiformes Family: Characidae Genus: Salminus Species: hilarii Binomial name: Salminus hilarii Characteristics: This species is a close relative of the dorado, and shares many of its morphological features. However, this fish is smaller in average size, and has less girth. It is silver with bright orange specks between scales, and black and red accents on the caudal fin, as well as black accents on the dorsal and anal fins. This is why it is called the “white or silver dorado” in much of its range. This species is quite aggressive and preys upon smaller tetras and other baitfish such as sabalo (Prochilodus sp.). Its sharp teeth make quick work of the smaller characins in the river system. -

Buscou-se discutir a sua gênese a fim de classifica-las como carste desenvolvido sobre rochas ígneas. Estas feições foram mapeadas por fotografias aéreas e principalmente pelo Google Earth Pro e estão localizadas em duas unidades geomorfológicas - Planalto dos Campos Gerais e Planalto Dissecado Rio Iguaçu - Rio Uruguai -, situadas sobre riolitos ou riodacitos e vitrófiros pertencentes à Formação Serra Geral, fácies Esmeralda, Caxias e Paranapanema. Foi verificada uma associação com as fraturas de direção NW e NE e suas interseções. Entre as hipóteses para explicar esse fenômeno está a dissolução dos vitrófiros. As dolinas e uvalas são permanente ou temporariamente inundadas e alimentam o aquífero fraturado que mantém as fontes fornecedoras de água para os rios e a população local. -
Co-312 the Riverhead of Uruguai River: Origins of A
CO-312 THE RIVERHEAD OF URUGUAI RIVER: ORIGINS OF A CONTROVERSY RESENDE A.C.D.R.B., SANTOS C.J.B.D., MATHIAS M.D.A. IBGE, RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL 1. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The accuracy of the geographic names in a map much contributes to the accuracy of the cartographic information, making a large contribution to savings and efficiency in the operation of government, business and industry, communication, and education. Geographic names play an important role in issues such as access to disaster-stricken areas, efficiency in communication, not to mention land property and territorial disputes. In Brazil, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and the Brazilian Army, the main institutions responsible for the official mapping of the country often face problems with the standardization of the names of rivers, which is one of the most critical issues in the field of Geographic Names, once the country lacks a national institution directly responsible for the standardization of the denominations of these geographic features and their springs. In addition, as rivers often demarcate the boundaries between territories and/or countries, their names are likely to vary along the years, since the action of naming is closely linked to issues of political power. In some cases, the geographic name is the crucial factor in accurately establishing the spring of a river. This is the case of one of the most important rivers in the south of Brazil: the Uruguai River, whose riverhead is claimed to be located both in the confluence of rivers Pelotas and Canoas and Pelotas and Peixe.
