Historical biogeography of South American freshwater fishes
Dealing with complex palaeogeographical histories is a problem of major importance in biogeographical studies. Since the superposition of palaeogeographical events may produce multiple changes in species range distributions, highly complex patterns of animal and plant distributions are to be expected (Nelson & Platnick, 1981; Brown & Gibson, 1983; Myers & Institut de Recherche pour le Développe...
متن کاملNotes on the occurrence of Trypanosoma sp. (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) in freshwater fishes from South Africa.
A total of 257 fishes from four families, Clariidae, Cichlidae, Cyprinidae and Schilbeidae were collected from three localities: the Sand River Dam, Swaziland; the Nylsvlei Nature Reserve, South Africa and the Vaal Dam and Vaal River Barrage, South Africa. Only fishes (n= 154) from Clariidae and Cichlidae were found to be infected with trypanosomes. A total of 221 Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1...
متن کاملPredicting Invasion Success: Freshwater Fishes in California as a Model
S lakes, and estuaries are among the most highly invaded ecosystems in the world; in many of them, alien organisms are now a significant part of the biota (Cohen 2002). The best-documented invaders in these systems are fishes. Because many fish species are widely introduced, there is concern among scientists and managers over the homogenization of freshwater fish faunas worldwide (McKinney and ...
متن کاملSpeciation in Freshwater Fishes
The extraordinary species richness of teleost fishes has attracted much research on mechanisms and modes of speciation. We here review research on speciation in freshwater fish in light of speciation theory, and place this in a context of knowledge about broad-scale diversity patterns in freshwater fishes. We structure our review around the major axes of divergence during speciation in freshwat...
متن کاملEvaluating Cyber Security Awareness in South Africa
In many ways, the internet and cyber world is a dangerous place where innocent users can inadvertently fall prey to shrewd cyber criminals. These dangers, combined with a large portion of the South African population that has not had regular and sustained exposure to technology and broadband internet access, expose local communities to cyber threats. Research done by the Council for Scientific ...
