Characterizing functional morphology and trophic niches in a neotropical Characiforms (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) assemblage in middle Munim River basin, Maranhão, Brazil

Abstract Understanding how functionally similar species segregate resources to minimize competition is vital for predicting evolutionary factors and patterns of coexistence. We conducted a study in Mata de Itamacaoca, in the middle Munim River basin, Maranhão, northeastern Brazil, to characterize th...
