Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are highly biodiverse 1 and important for livelihoods economic development 2 , but under substantial stress 3 . To date, comprehensive global assessments of extinction risk have not included any speciose groups primarily living in freshwaters. Consequently, data from predominantly terrestrial tetrapods 4,5 used to guide environmental policy 6 conservation prioritization 7 whereas recent proposals target setting freshwaters use abiotic factors 8–13 However,...
To date the global initiative to barcode all fishes, FISH-BOL, has delivered barcodes for approximately 14,400 of 30,000 fish species; there is still much do attain its ultimate goal barcoding world’s fishes. One strategy overcome local gaps initiate short but intensive efforts collect and as many species possible from a small region – ‘blitz’. This study highlights one such event, marine waters around Lizard island in Great Barrier Reef (Queensland, Australia). Barcode records were obtained...
The gobiid fish genus Mugilogobius and 13 closely-related genera form a monophyletic group within the subfamily Gobionellinae of family Gobiidae.Included with in this are Brachygobius, Caecogobius, Calamiana, Chlamydogobius, Eugnathogobius, Gobiopterus, Hemigobius, Mistichthys, Pandaka, Pseudogobius, Redigobius, Stigmatogobius Tamanka, which discussed compared.The entire consists about 105 species, have been greatly confused literature.The Tamanka revised, full descriptions species...
Background Indo-Pacific high island streams experience extreme hydrological variation, and are characterised by freshwater fish species with an amphidromous life history. Amphidromy is a likely adaptation for colonisation of following stochastic events that lead to local extirpation. In the Wet Tropics north-eastern Australia, steep coastal mountain share similar physical characteristics systems. These poorly surveyed, but may provide suitable habitat species. However, due their ephemeral...
There are 1474 fish species now known from the Northern Territory, in 195 families, with a number of these still undescribed. The include 120 new records for NT and three Australia, while nine non-native exist as small feral populations.The most speciose family is Gobiidae (gobies), 150 recognised species, main group inhabiting coral reef mangrove areas. fauna Territory occupies several biogeographical regions, which internal river drainages Australia Sahul Shelf adjoining New Guinea...
A new species of mudskipper (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) from northern Australia is described. This was previously misidentified as P. novaeguineaensis Eggert, 1935. Periophthalmus takita sp. nov. can be distinguished its congeners by the following suite characters: modally VIII spines in first dorsal fin; second and anal fins with I, 11–12 rays; shape color pattern fins; extent fusion between two innermost rays pelvic fin. re-diagnosis provided, well a revised key to genus Periophthalmus.
A new species of the eyeless eleotrid genus Milyeringa is described from wells sunk on Barrow Island, Western Australia. justitia n. sp. third to be named. Morphological data and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA sequence a wide sample localities at which occurs was used evaluate relationships limits. veritas redescribed, M. brooksi synonymised with veritas. The unique form ecology these fishes, plus threats their survival, warrants immediate continuing attention in management.
The river sharks (genus Glyphis) are a small group of poorly known occurring in tropical rivers and estuarine waters across northern Australia, south-east Asia the subcontinent. taxonomy genus has long been unclear due to very few individuals having caught examined, resulting paucity data regarding their distribution, biology ecology. Only recently attention focussed on two Australian species, G. glyphis garricki. This study is result rare opportunity collate samples that have collected from...
We provide field identification characters and report on the natural history of mudskippers (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) in Cairns, Darwin, Derby Broome, northern Australia.Nine species four genera are recorded ( Boleophthalmus birdsongi, B. caeruleomaculatus, Periophthalmodonfreycineti, Periophthalmus argentilineatus, P. darwini, P minutus, novaeguineaensis, takila Scartelaos histophorus).The intertidal zonation conforms to previously reported patterns, but subtle differences habitat preference...
The widespread tropical gobionelline fish genus Oxyurichthys is monophyletic due to its species sharing two characters considered derived within the Stenogobius Group of Gobionellinae (Gobioidei: Gobiidae), a transversely broadened (spatulate) third neural spine that usually bifid, and no preopercular cephalic lateralis canal. It most closely related Oligolepis, also Indo-west Pacific, Ctenogobius, an Atlantic-eastern Pacific genus. Sixteen valid are redescribed illustrated four new...
Social group size, mating systems and sex allocation strategies in fish can covary with habitat patch size. We examined the interrelationships of these factors seawhip goby, Bryaninops yongei, which inhabits just one species seawhip, Cirripathes anguina. Above a critical length, single immature mostly occupied small seawhips. Larger seawhips were by an adult pair, almost 100% occupancy greater than 200 cm long. social groups occasionally observed, but there never more two adults groups....
Abstract The present research documents new distributional records of two gobioid fishes, Acentrogobius vanderloosi Allen, 2015 and Pseudogobius fulvicaudus Huang, Shao, Chen, 2014 from the southeastern coast India. Indian coastal waters provide suitable habitats for many fishes due to its varied ecosystems. confusion over identity a number in India suggests need more studies on these better understand their diversity, taxonomy, geographical distribution. record species expands known...
We conducted the first comprehensive assessment of extinction risk Australia's freshwater fishes. Using International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) criteria, 37% (88 species) 241 assessed species were threatened (Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable), with one as being Extinct. Lepidogalaxiidae and Neoceratodontidae had highest level threat (100%, both single families), followed by Galaxiidae (78% 40 species), Percichthyidae (62% 22 Melanotaeniidae (53% 19 species)....
The tropical Indo-Pacific gobiid genus Bryaninops Smith is reviewed and the Tenacigobius Larson Hoese included as a synonym.These small fishes are commensal chiefly on gorgonians antipatharians.The three previously-known species, eryihrops (Jordan Seale), B. ridens yongei (Cohen Davis), redescribed figured.Six new species described: amplus, dianneae, B
Species of the tropical gobiid genus Gnatholepis have been misidentified and confused for many years. A gobionelline,Gnatholepis is only strictly marine that subfamily. was reviewed from a morphological view-point, as recent publications distinguishing species (morphologically genetically) not always in agreement.The considered to include nine described species, with two distinctive sister-taxa (G. argus G. gymnocara)and seven less easily distinguished taxa: one species-group formed by...
Two new species of mudskipper (genus Periophthalmus ) are described from mangrove habitats north-western Australia.They both resemble small specimens novaeguineaensis Eggert, 1935, and have been confused with that species.Periophthalmus darwini n. sp. is distinguished by a combination characters, in particular greatly reduced first dorsal fin sexes.Periophthalmus murdyi including heavily pigmented pelvic fins relatively plain blackish fin.Periophthalmus re-diagnosed, as the data presented...
