Histology of the digestive tract of Satanoperca pappaterra (Osteichthyes, Cichlidae)
This study aimed to locate, describe and characterize the esophagus, stomach and intestine of Satanoperca pappaterra using histological techniques. The species presents detritivore-invertivore feeding habit and is widely distributed in Neotropical continental waters. The esophagus is short, the stomach is small with saccular form and the intestine is long. The histological sections were stained...
متن کاملFeeding ecology of Hypostomus punctatus Valenciennes, 1840 (Osteichthyes, Loricariidae) in a costal stream from Southeast Brazil.
In the present study we aimed to compare the feeding ecology of Hypostomus punctatus from a coastal stream from Southeast Brazil with data previously published for the same study site before environmental changes. Feeding preferences were assessed through a sample of 138 specimens (67 from the dry and 71 from the rainy season) using the Index of Alimentary Importance (IAi). We registered five d...

متن کاملBasic and molecular cytogenetics in freshwater Cichlidae (Osteichthyes, Perciformes). Karyotypic conservationism and divergence
The chromosomes of one Cichlasoma facetum and three Geophagus brasiliensis populations from the headwaters of adjacent river basins (Paraná State, southern Brazil), were investigated using differential staining techniques (C-banding, Ag-NORs, DAPI and CMA3) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA and 5S rDNA probes. The diploid chromosome number (2n) was invariably 48 in the ...
متن کاملTrophic ecomorphology of Siluriformes (Pisces, Osteichthyes) from a tropical stream.
The present study analysed the relationship between morphology and trophic structure of Siluriformes (Pisces, Osteichthyes) from the Caracu Stream (22º 45' S and 53º 15' W), a tributary of the Paraná River (Brazil). Sampling was carried out at three sites using electrofishing, and two species of Loricariidae and four of Heptapteridae were obtained. A cluster analysis revealed the presence of th...
