Abstract The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Taxonomy includes
organism names and classifications for every sequence in the nucleotide and protein …

Marine ecosystems are rich in “omega-3” long-chain (C 20-24) polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LC-PUFA). Their production has been historically accepted to derive mostly from marine …

Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, but freshwater fishes have
been largely ignored in climate change assessments. Here, we assess threats of future flow …

Our understanding of phylogenetic relationships among bony fishes has been transformed
by analysis of a small number of genes, but uncertainty remains around critical nodes …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

Owing to their taxonomic, phenotypic, ecological and behavioural diversity and propensity
for explosive diversification, the assemblages of cichlid fish in the East African Great Lakes …

The book “Peixes da planície de inundação do alto rio Paraná e áreas adjacentes”
represents the most cohesive data compilation for the rio Paraná floodplain. However …

The order Cypriniformes is the most diverse order of freshwater fishes. Recent phylogenetic
studies have approached a consensus on the phylogenetic relationships of Cypriniformes …

Vertebrate vision is accomplished through light-sensitive photopigments consisting of an
opsin protein bound to a chromophore. In dim light, vertebrates generally rely on a single …

Otoliths in bony fishes play an important role in the senses of balance and hearing. Otolith
mass and shape are, among others, likely to be decisive factors influencing otolith motion …
