• Abstract

  The fishes of the subfamily Loricariinae with 34 genera and 205 species, form an attractive group of catfishes because of its peculiar armored plated and flattened body and caudal-fin spines (or sometimes, pectoral- or/and dorsal-fin spines) extended as long filaments; characters that make them very required by aquarists. The relationships between the species and genera of Loricariinae ar…

• Abstract

  Phenotypic evolution of different organisms has been widely studied in light comparative phylogenetic methods, of which allow comparisons between phenotypes under a phylogeny. Anurans show complex behavioral phenotypes, being one of them, important in mechanisms of speciation, the vocal communication, that consists mainly in the emission of stereotyped signals such as the advertisement ca…

• Abstract

  The genus Awaous bears a complex taxonomic and phylogenetic history, being considered either member of the subfamily Sicydiinae or treated in the subfamily Gobionellinae. Currently Awaous is divided into three subgenera: Awaous, Chonophorus and Euctenogobius. The validity of species belonging to Awaous is still in debate. For instance, Awaous transandeanus, historically treated as a junio…

• Abstract

  The genus Awaous currently comprises 22 valid species, most of them distributed in the tropical region. Awaous tajasica, of amphidromous habit and originally poorly described, is reported to occur along the west coast of the Atlantic from the state of Florida, United States, to the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Such a widespread distribution may be a result of an incorrect identificati…

• Abstract

  Gobiidae is a highly diversified fish family, consisting of 258 genera and over 1,800 species distributed mostly in marine and brackish waters of tropical and subtropical zones. Phylogenetic hypotheses encompassing members of groups were mostly based on anatomical and genetic characters while myological ones were notably neglected. One of the consequences of scarcity of descriptive works …

• Abstract

  The tribe Synallaxini gathers about 60 species and subspecies distributed in seven genera belonging to the Furnariidae (Passeriformes: Aves), including the genus Synallaxis, its largest and most widely distributed genus. This is an example of a problematic taxon with many polytypic and undescribed species (or forgotten because they are considered at the subspecies level). In addition, the…

• Abstract

  There has been a long discussion in morphological literature about the role of the laterosensory sys-tem, especially the canal-inducing neuromasts, in the formation of dermal bones. Some authors de-fend the hypothesis of a developmental integration between the laterosensory canal system and some of the dermal bones of the skull, and consequently assume that the presence of canals should b…
