Mangrove fish assemblages from data-sparse regions and the measurement of ecological equivalence: Comment on Sheaves (2012)
The global comparison of mangrove fish assemblages and their ecological equivalence
by Sheaves (2012; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 461:137−149) presents useful novel information for this
specific ecosystem faunal assemblage. This ...
Environmental factors predicting fish community structure in two neotropical rivers in Brazil
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia, 2014)
Predation on microcrustaceans in evidence: the role of chaoborid larvae and fish in two shallow and small Neotropical reservoirs
(Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia, 2012-07-01)
This study was focused on the predation upon microcrustaceans by an invertebrate predator (chaoborid larvae), and vertebrate predators (fish), in two small reservoirs in southeastern Brazil, with and without macrophytes, ...
Interference of cage fish farm on diet, condition factor and numeric abundance on wild fish in a Neotropical reservoir
(2013-11-15)
Historically, the ichthyofauna of large Brazilian rivers has been subject to anthropogenic interference, such as impoundments. Currently, cage fish farming systems are a new source of impact on aquatic ecosystems. The ...

Composition and interrelationships of a large Neotropical freshwater fish group, the subfamily Cheirodontinae (Characiformes: Characidae): A case study based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences
(2013-07-01)
•Relationships of Cheirodontinae based on a broad taxonomic sample.•Results reject the monophyly of Cheirodontinae as previously conceived.•Exclusion of Amazonspinther and Spintherobolus from the subfamily Cheirodontinae.•The ...

How does host ecology influence sampling effort in parasite diversity estimates? A case study using Neotropical freshwater fishes
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2017-06-01)
Accurately estimating biodiversity is fundamental to ecological understanding and prediction. Helminthes are often neglected in biodiversity estimates and when included are often underestimated. Here we examine how sampling ...
Longitudinal patterns of fish assemblages in mountain streams from tropical forest biome
(Revista Biota Neotropica, 2013-07-01)
The aim of this study was to verify structure patterns in fish assemblages in mountain streams of the Rio Tibagi basin through the characterization of spatial and temporal variations in the composition of fish species. ...
