Spatial distribution and habitat use by early fish stages in a dammed river basin, Southern Brazil

Rev. biol. trop; 66 (2), 2018
Abstract Fish diversity loss is threatened by the construction of dams as they prevent the regular natural dispersal among populations. Thus, conservation of key riverine habitats for fish reproduction may be essential for the recruitment of new native species of fish. The present study aimed to identify...

Fish diversity in the cascade of reservoirs along the Paranapanema River, southeast Brazil

Neotrop. ichthyol; 16 (2), 2018
The Paranapanema River is a major tributary of the upper Paraná river basin. Eleven hydropower dams regulate its main course, but no study has investigated fish diversity in these impoundments at the basin-scale. The present study investigated spatial patterns of richness, composition, and abundance of ...

Gorgona, Baudó y Darién (Chocó Biogeográfico, Colombia): ecorregiones modelo para los estudios ecológicos de comunidades de quebradas costeras

Rev. biol. trop; 62 (supl.1), 2014
This paper summarizes the available information on the geology, hydrology, and biota of coastal streams located in the Gorgona National Natural Park (GNNP), and the Baudó and Darién ecoregions within the Biogeographic Chocó (Colombia). Despite of the scant number of studies, we hypothesized that these...

Ocurrence of the sea anemone Telmatactis panamensis (Verrill, 1869) (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) at Isla del Coco National Park, Costa Rica

Rev. biol. trop; 60 (supl.3), 2012
The sea anemone fauna of Isla del Coco National Park (also known as Cocos Island Nacional Park), Pacific Costa Rica is poorly known. In the present work we report the first occurrence of the species Telmatactis panamensis. Individuals of this sea anemone (n=24) were collected at Chatham Bay intertidal an...
