Seeking for gaps in taxonomic descriptions of endemic fishes: a pathway to challenge the Linnean shortfall in a Neotropical basin

Neotropical Ichthyology (2024)

Gleiciane Santos Reis Francisco Leonardo Tejerina‐Garro Fernando César Paiva Dagosta Fabrício Barreto Teresa Rodrigo Assis de Carvalho

Abstract The Tocantins-Araguaia River basin hosts an elevated number of fish species, and new species have been continuously described. In this basin, we investigated patterns of endemic fish species descriptions examining their association with species distribution range, altitudinal gradient, fluvial hierarchy of watercourses, and sampling effort. For each species, we collected its year of taxonomic description, geographical coordinates of its holotype, body size (a proxy for species range), fluvial hierarchy of watercourses, and both altitude and sampling effort related to the locality of the holotype. The number of taxonomic descriptions was positively correlated to sampling effort, and better-sampled regions accumulated more descriptions over time. Moreover, altitude was positively correlated to the year of species description, whereas body size was negatively correlated to it. While species with recent descriptions were more associated to first to third order streams, species with recent and older descriptions were associated to high-order rivers. Therefore, fish species with broader distributions tend to have older descriptions in regions of lower altitude, whereas species with restricted distributions recent descriptions at higher altitudes. Increasing efforts in the upper regions of the Tocantins-Araguaia basin seems to be a good and fruitful strategy for reducing the Linnean shortfall.

Diversidade biológica da comunidade de peixes no baixo rio das Mortes, Mato Grosso, Brasil

Revista Brasileira de Zoologia (2007)

Tatiana Lima de Melo Francisco Leonardo Tejerina‐Garro Cesar Enrique de Melo

O rio das Mortes é um dos principais cursos d’água do estado de Mato Grosso e o maior afluente, da margem esquerda, do rio Araguaia, sendo que a seção baixa do mesmo está inserida na planície do Bananal. Este estudo objetiva caracterizar ecologicamente a comunidade de peixes considerando um período sazonal: cheia e seca. A comunidade de peixes em estudo apresenta altos valores de diversidade (4,783 bits/indivíduos do Índice de Shannon-Wiener), riqueza de espécies (66 espécies amostradas) e abundância de indivíduos (659 indivíduos) durante o período de seca, onde as espécies mais abundantes foram Pygocentrus nattereri Kner, 1858 e Boulengerella cuvieri (Agassiz, 1829). Ageneiosus inermis (Linnaeus, 1766) e Rhaphiodon vulpinus Agassiz, 1829 foram mais abundantes na época cheia. A interação entre a comunidade de peixes e a planície de inundação apresenta um padrão comparável a este observado em planícies de inundação na região Neotropical.

Headwater Stream’s Fish Assemblages: What Diversity and Environment Tell us about their Structure and Organization?

Fronteiras Journal of Social Technological and Environmental Science (2022)

Rodrigo Assis de Carvalho Francisco Leonardo Tejerina‐Garro

Understanding the relationship among descriptors of community diversity and the response of these descriptors to the environment is a cornerstone to ecological studies. In this study, we used a set of headwater stream’s fish assemblages to answer two questions: 1) How do distinct descriptors of fish assemblage’s diversity are related to each other at headwater streams?; 2) How does environment influences each descriptor of fish assemblage’s diversity at headwater streams? As metrics of community structure/diversity, we used the number of species (species richness, S) and individuals (abundance, N), taxonomic distinctiveness (taxonomic diversity, Δ+), and the mean pairwise distance (functional diversity, MPD). The environmental variables evaluated were the following: channel depth and channel width, altitude, riparian vegetation cover, water turbidity and water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity. The relationship among descriptors of fish assemblage’s diversity and between these descriptors with the environment was tested with a Spearman’s correlation analysis. We found a positive correlation between: i) Δ+ and MPD; and ii) N and Δ+ with channel width and temperature, respectively. These findings provide evidence that different descriptors of fish assemblage’s diversity are influenced by different variables of the environment at headwater streams. Moreover, we observed the existence of a spatial congruence between Δ+ e MPD, suggesting that the development of strategies for protecting one of these descriptors may also help to preserve the other one. Our study provides important information for a region of the Central Brazil, the Upper Paraná River basin, that remains not well known regarding to its fish fauna when compared to other localities in this same region or within its hydrological domain.

Characterization of anuran fauna inside caves in Brazil

Biota Neotropica (2024)

Vinícius da Fontoura Sperandei Wilian Vaz Silva Francisco Leonardo Tejerina‐Garro

Abstract: The natural underground environment has unique characteristics when compared to surface environments. These environments feature a reduced complexity food web that includes organisms such as anuran amphibians. This study examines the occurrence of Neotropical anurans in Brazilian caves, utilizing taxonomic, geographic, geological, and environmental data extracted from the scientific literature. A total of 247 anuran records were found in caves across 18 scientific papers covering a 42-years period (from 1980 to 2022). Of these, 177 records (71.6%) displayed the anurans identified to the species level (54 species), with the families Leptodactylidae (13 species; 24.1%), Hylidae (12; 22.2%), and Bufonidae (10; 18.5%) being the most frequently recorded. The anuran records were predominant in the states of Minas Gerais (81 records; 34.8%) and São Paulo (35; 15.0%). The Atlantic Forest had the highest number of records (78; 33.5%), followed by ecotonal zones between the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado (43; 18.5%). Environmental information was scarce in the consulted records, with only 12 providing detail about the cave light zone where the anuran was found (nine in the entrance zone) and 63 indicating the presence/absence of water bodies. Carbonaceous (109; 46.8%) and ferruginous (76; 33.9%) lithology predominated among the caves considered. The low number of sampled caves (55 caves; 0.24%) compared to the total number of caves registered in Brazil (23,278 caves) underscores a knowledge gap regarding Neotropical anurans use of subterranean habitats.

Spatial and temporal trends in freshwater fish research: the case of three neotropical river basins from Goiás State, Central Brazil

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia (2019)

Rodrigo Assis de Carvalho Francisco Leonardo Tejerina‐Garro

Abstract Aim In this paper, we conducted a scientometric analysis on published studies related to freshwater fish species at Goiás State to evaluate: i) their spatial and temporal trends; ii) areas of knowledge; iii) scientific journals where these papers were published and their comprehensiveness; iv) the role of institutions and financial support on fish research. Methods Using Google Scholar and Lattes platform, we searched for scientific papers related to freshwater fish, and we extracted the following information of each paper: title, author and co-authors’ name, number of authors, year, authors and co-authors’ affiliation, journal, field/area of the research, and financial support. Results We found 322 scientific papers related to Goiás State with a slightly growth in the number of publications over time. Most of these papers are related to Ecology, Systematic/Taxonomy and Fish Biology, and the participation of local institutions in these studies was mainly concentrated in Paraná River basin. Although most of funding were granted by agencies or institutions located outside Goiás State, the results showed that fish papers achieved a broad audience with publications in national and international journals with impact factor. Conclusions Our study revealed that: 1) freshwater fish research at Goiás State has a slow increase trend; 2) there are gaps in Education, Conservation and Fisheries knowledge areas; 3) local institutions’ contribution is spatially concentrated; 4) studies achieved a broad audience with many scientific papers published in journals with impact factor; 5) financial support was granted in most part by agencies or institutions located outside Goiás State. These findings suggest that despite achievements in freshwater fish research in this region, local investments in infrastructure, materials and human resources are still necessary to improve the production of studies.

Stream fish metacommunity organisation across a Neotropical ecoregion: The role of environment, anthropogenic impact and dispersal-based processes

PLoS ONE (2020)

Pedro Paulino Borges Murilo S. Dias Fernando Rogério Carvalho Lílian Casatti Paulo dos Santos Pompeu

Understanding how assemblages are structured in space and the factors promoting their distributions is one of the main goals in Ecology, however, studies regarding the distribution of organisms at larger scales remain biased towards terrestrial groups. We attempt to understand if the structure of stream fish metacommunities across a Neotropical ecoregion (Upper Paraná—drainage area of 820,000 km2) are affected by environmental variables, describing natural environmental gradient, anthropogenic impacts and spatial predictors. For this, we obtained 586 sampling points of fish assemblages in the ecoregion and data on environmental and spatial predictors that potentially affect fish assemblages. We calculated the local beta diversity (Local Contribution to Beta Diversity, LCBD) and alpha diversity from the species list, to be used as response variables in the partial regression models, while the anthropogenic impacts, environmental gradient and spatial factors were used as predictors. We found a high total beta diversity for the ecoregion (0.41) where the greatest values for each site sampled were located at the edges of the ecoregion, while richer communities were found more centrally. All sets of predictors explained the LCBD and alpha diversity, but the most important was dispersal variables, followed by the natural environmental gradient and anthropogenic impact. However, we found an increase in the models' prediction power through the shared effect. Results suggest that environmental filters (i.e. environmental variables such as climate, hydrology and anthropogenic impact) and dispersal limitation together shape fish assemblages of the Upper Paraná ecoregion, showing the importance of using multiple sets of predictors to understand the processes structuring biodiversity distribution.
