Pebble nest microhabitats of Semotilus species (Pisces: Cyprinidae)
The pebble nest microhabitats of four species of Semotilus were compared. Pit/mound nests of Semotilus corporalis were significantly larger than the pit/ridge nests of Semotilus atromaculatus, Semotilus lumbee, and Semotilus thoreauianus. Nests of S. corporalis were in wider and deeper streams. Pits of S. lumbee nests were longest of the four species; those of S. corporalis were widest and deep...

متن کاملA further note on the identity of Barbus mussullah Sykes (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) .
Knight et al. (2013a) clarified the identity of Barbus mussullah Sykes, the type species of Hypselobarbus Bleeker, showing it to represent a lineage clearly distinct from Tor Gray (type species Tor hamiltonii Gray (= Cyprinus tor Hamilton)). They showed the two species to be distinguished by a suite of characters, with Hypselobarbus lacking the distinctive median fleshy lobe of the lower lip (p...
متن کاملEnteroendocrine APUD cells in the digestive tract of larval Barbus conchonius (Teleostei, Cyprinidae).
The development of Barbus conchonius is described with special attention to the differentiation of the gut. Amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD) are present in enteroendocrine cells during development, whereas these processes are lacking in adult specimens. The first APUD cells originate on the fourth day of development in the anterior part of the gut and on the fifth day in the ca...
