Cytogenetics of Gymnogeophagus Setequedas (Cichlidae: Geophaginae), with Comments on Its Geographical Distribution
Neotropical Ichthyology, 15(2): e160035, 2017 Journal homepage: www.scielo.br/ni DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20160035 Published online: 26 June 2017 (ISSN 1982-0224) Copyright © 2017 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Printed: 30 June 2017 (ISSN 1679-6225) Cytogenetics of Gymnogeophagus setequedas (Cichlidae: Geophaginae), with comments on its geographical distribution Leonardo M. 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. Verificamos em G. setequedas 2n = 48 cromossomos (4sm + 24st + 20a) e heterocromatina presente nas regiões centroméricas e pericentroméricas, as quais indicam caracteres conservados em Geophagini. -

Donnelly Secretary Florida International University College of Arts & Sciences 11200 SW 8th St. - ECS 450 Miami, FL 33199 [email protected] 305.348.1235 13 June 2010 The ASIH Board of Governor's is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, 7 July 2010 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm in the Westin Hotel in Narragansett Ballroom B. President Hanken plans to move blanket acceptance of all reports included in this book that cover society business for 2009 and 2010 (in part). The book includes the ballot information for the 2010 elections (Board of Governors and Annual Business Meeting). Governors can ask to have items exempted from blanket approval. These exempted items will be acted upon individually. We will also act individually on items exempted by the Executive Committee. Please remember to bring this booklet with you to the meeting. I will bring a few extra copies to Providence. Please contact me directly (email is best - [email protected]) with any questions you may have. Please notify me if you will not be able to attend the meeting so I can share your regrets with the Governors. I will leave for Providence (via Boston on 4 July 2010) so try to contact me before that date if possible. I will arrive in Providence on the afternoon of 6 July 2010 The Annual Business Meeting will be held on Sunday 11 July 2010 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in The Rhode Island Convention Center (RICC) in Room 556 AB. -

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. -
Comparison of Fish Assemblages in Flooded Forest Versus Floating Meadows Habitats of an Upper Amazon Floodplain (Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, Peru)
COMPARISON OF FISH ASSEMBLAGES IN FLOODED FOREST VERSUS FLOATING MEADOWS HABITATS OF AN UPPER AMAZON FLOODPLAIN (PACAYA SAMIRIA NATIONAL RESERVE, PERU) By SANDRA BIBIANA CORREA A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Sandra Bibiana Correa To my parents and my family. During the course of my life their love and belief in my potential encouraged me to keep going and achieve my dreams. They supported me in all of my decisions even when they separated us for long periods of time. I also dedicate this thesis to Michael Goulding who inspired me to study Amazonian fishes and who is a pioneer in showing their beauty and fragility to the world. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and commitment of my supervisory committee chair (Dr. James S. Albert) and my committee members (Dr. Lauren J. Chapman and Dr. William G.R. Crampton). All of them put lots of energy and time into the development of different aspects of this work. I thank James and Will for the outstanding time we spent in Peru during the field work that was the basis for this thesis. They were also crucial during the writing stage, and I enjoyed great discussions on Amazonian fish natural history and ecology. Lauren was my main support during the data analysis process. Without her, many of the results presented in this thesis may not have come out. I also want to thank my field assistant; B.Sc. -

Porém, em espécies com distribuições geográficas muito amplas essa variação pode ocorrer, devido aos diferentes contextos ecológicos nos quais essas espécies estão envolvidas. Neste sentido, investigamos a existência de variação interindividual no uso de recursos alimentares em diferentes populações naturais do ciclídeo Mesonauta festivus, e quantificamos essa variação. -

The data was gathered from two main sources: 1) litterature compilations of species occurrence records, including original descriptions and re- visionary studies; and 2) specimens verification at the INPA fish collection. The results reveal a rich and diversified ichthyofauna, with 1,165 species distributed in 17 orders (+ two incertae sedis), 56 families, and 389 genera. A large portion of the fish fauna (54.3% of the species) is composed of small-sized fishes < 10 cm in standard length. -

Body Size Evolution and Diversity of Fishes Using the Neotropical Cichlids (Cichlinae) As a Model System
Body Size Evolution and Diversity of Fishes using the Neotropical Cichlids (Cichlinae) as a Model System by Sarah Elizabeth Steele A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah Elizabeth Steele 2018 Body Size Evolution and Diversity of Fishes using the Neotropical Cichlids (Cichlinae) as a Model System Sarah Elizabeth Steele Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The influence of body size on an organism’s physiology, morphology, ecology, and life history has been considered one of the most fundamental relationships in ecology and evolution. The ray-finned fishes are a highly diverse group of vertebrates. Yet, our understanding of diversification in this group is incomplete, and the role of body size in creating this diversity is largely unknown. I examined body size in Neotropical cichlids (Cichlinae) to elucidate the large- and small-scale factors affecting body size diversity and distribution, and how body size shapes species, morphological, and ecological diversity in fishes. Characterization of body size distributions across the phylogeny of Neotropical cichlids revealed considerable overlap in body size, particularly in intermediate-sized fishes, with few, species-poor lineages exhibiting extreme body size. Three potential peaks of adaptive evolution in body size were identified within Cichlinae. I found freshwater fishes globally tend to be smaller and their distributions more diverse and right-skewed than marine counterparts, irrespective of taxonomy and clade age, with a strengthening of these trends in riverine systems. Comparisons of Neotropical cichlid body size diversity and distribution to this broader context shows that body size patterns are largely abnormal compared to most freshwater fishes, particularly those of the Neotropics.
