A new species of Hemigrammus gill, 1858 (Characiformes: Characidae) from the Ri...
Ota, Rafaela Priscila; Lima, Flávio César Thadeo; Pavanelli, C. S.A new Hemigrammus is described from the rio Paraguai and rio Madeira basins, Mato Grosso and Rondônia States, Brazil. The new species is characterized by possessing a wide dark horizontal stripe across the eye, a vertically elongated humeral blotch, and 4-5 gill-rakers on upper branch and 9-10 on lower. The new species can be easily diagnosed from H. lunatus, the sympatric and morphologically most similar conge...
A multiple hypothesis approach to explain species richness patterns in neotropi...
Vieira, Thiago Bernardi; Pavanelli, C. S.; Casatti, Lilian; Smith, Welber Senteio; Benedito, Evanilde; Mazzoni, Rosana; Sánchez-Botero, Jorge IvánSeveral hypotheses are used to explain species richness patterns. Some of them (e.g. species-area, species-energy, environment-energy, water-energy, terrestrial primary productivity, environmental spatial heterogeneity, and climatic heterogeneity) are known to explain species richness patterns of terrestrial organisms, especially when they are combined. For aquatic organisms, however, it is unclear if these hyp...
