One thousand DNA barcodes of piranhas and pacus reveal geographic structure and...
Machado, Valéria Nogueira; Collins, Rupert A.; Ota, Rafaela Priscila; Andrade, Marcelo C.; Farias, Izeni P.; Hrbek, TomasPiranhas and pacus (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) are a charismatic but understudied family of Neotropical fishes. Here, we analyse a DNA barcode dataset comprising 1,122 specimens, 69 species, 16 genera, 208 localities, and 34 major river drainages in order to make an inventory of diversity and to highlight taxa and biogeographic areas worthy of further sampling effort and conservation protection. Using four m...
Integrative taxonomy reveals a new species of Pacu (Characiformes: Serrasalmida...
Ota, Rafaela Priscila; Machado, Valéria Nogueira; Andrade, Marcelo C.; Collins, Rupert A.; Farias, Izeni P.; Hrbek, TomasPacus of the genus Myloplus represent a formidable taxonomic challenge, and particularly so for the case of M. asterias and M. rubripinnis, two widespread and common species that harbor considerable morphological diversity. Here we apply DNA barcoding and multiple species discovery methods to find candidate species in this complex group. We report on one well-supported lineage that is also morphologically and e...
Redescription and geographical distribution of the endangered fish ossubtus xin...
Andrade, Marcelo C.; Sousa, Leandro M.; Ota, Rafaela Priscila; Jegú, Michel; Giarrizzo, TommasoThe monotypic species Ossubtus xinguense was originally described based on scarce material putatively divided into juveniles and adults. Ossubtus xinguense has a restricted distribution and was previously known only from a few rapids downstream of the city of Altamira, in the Volta Grande stretch of the Middle Xingu River. Until recently, the species was rare in museums because its habitat (large rapids) is dif...
