Here we present a mitogenomic perspective on the evolution of sharks and rays, being first glance complete mitochondrial history such an old diversified group vertebrates. The Elasmobranchii is diverse subclass Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fish, with about 1200 species ocean- freshwater-dwelling fishes spread all over world's seas, including some ocean's largest fishes. dates back 400 million years near Devonian–Silurian boundary, nowadays represented by several derivative lineages,...
The Tetraodontidae are an Acantomorpha fish family with circumglobal distribution composed of 189 species grouped in 19 genera, occurring seas, estuaries, and rivers between the tropical temperate regions. Of these, genus Colomesus is confined to South America, what have been up now considered only two species. C. asellus spread over entire Amazon, Tocantins-Araguaia drainages, coastal environments from Amazon mouth Venezuela, freshwater puffers on that continent. psittacus found marine...
Based on specimens originally referred to as "Dastilbe minor", a nomem-nudum, we describe new genus of Chanidae †Nanaichthys longipinnus nov. gen. and sp. which exhibits several diagnostic characters such the absence orbitosphenoid basisphenoid, anteriorly displaced quadrate-mandibular articulation, laterally expanded supraneurals, an acute angle between preopercular limbs, expansion at curved maxillary articular process. Its occurrence supposed relationship within reinforce influence...
ABSTRACTConsidering the knowledge gap regarding elasmobranch species landings, this study aimed to report catches from artisanal fisheries obtain baseline data in regard. Samplings were carried out 2016 2019 at three fishing colonies located Rio de Janeiro, Tamoios, Cabo Frio, Itaipu, Niterói, and Copacabana, metropolitan rgeion of A trust relationship was built with fishers, enabling ample collection. total twenty-two twelve families identified all sample sites, comprising 10 sharks 12...
Amphibians are the focus of a recent debate and public attention owing to global decline in their populations worldwide. one most threatened poorly known groups vertebrates several geographic areas, even though they play central role own ecosystems. At different levels, amphibians make contribution proper ecosystem functioning. They act as regulators food web nutrient cycling, also provide valuable services, e.g., source animal models for lab research. In this sense, it seems clear that...
To evaluate the habitat loss due to climatic changes and their effect on Callithrix diversity in next few decades, present study reported resilience of Atlantic Rainforest primate genus under perspective forecasted South America quick-pace changing environmental policies Brazil.The used present-day distribution marmosets several bioclimatic layers model project suitability for all species recent decades.The presented results are far from being optimistic.Almost except C. jacchus will...
Extremophile organisms have been largely studied in Astrobiology. Among them, two antarctic plants emerge as good candidates to become colonizers of other celestial bodies, such Mars and the Moon. The present research aimed evaluate survival growing capacity Sanionia uncinata Colobanthus quitensis on Martian (MGS-1) Lunar (LMS-1) regolith simulants, under terrestrial conditions. responses both species simulators original sampling site Antarctic soil were observed during 15 days, laboratory...
Abstract Parental care is a major feature in the evolution of life‐history traits and appears highly associated with trade‐off between egg number size. It has been controversial issue studies about reproductive strategy deemed to have evolved multiple times, both aquatic terrestrial taxa. To explore relationships parental size, we examined 313 species bony fishes, including 152 161 without care. We mapped onto maximum likelihood (ML) unrooted phylogeny analysed size numbers data set using...
At the beginning of 20th century, intense whaling activity took place in South Shetland Islands, which is represented today form ruins and numerous whale bones scattered along several Antarctic beaches. Despite being exposed to a harsh environment throughout last decades, present manuscript tried answer if these bone remains still have viable DNA allow species' identification using molecular methods. Several individuals were collected from shores Keller Peninsula, Admiralty Bay, Antarctica,...
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga/Hunga-Ha'apai eruption on January 15, 2022 sent off a plume of ash material up to the stratosphere and triggered meteotsunami barometric pressure pulse that rippled through atmosphere oceans all around world. nature volcanic event its global impacts oceans, atmosphere, lithosphere cryosphere are matter debate. Here we present first overview time travel sound atmospheric wave Antarctic continent based in situ measurements, which represented unique observed polar ice...
