Phylogenetic and morphologic analyses of a coastal fish reveals a marine biogeographic break of terrestrial origin in the southern Caribbean. by Ricardo Betancur-R, Arturo Acero P, Hermann Duque-Caro, Scott R Santos

“…However, the relative contribution of each depends on the taxon under study and its geographic context. Utilizing sea catfishes in the Cathorops mapale species group, this study tests the hypothesis that both reproductive strategies conferring limited dispersal opportunities and an apparent geomorphologic barrier in the Southern Caribbean have promoted speciation in this group from a little studied area of the world.Mitochondrial gene sequences were obtained from representatives of the Cathorops mapale species group across its distributional range from Colombia to Venezuela. …”

A large 28S rDNA-based phylogeny confirms the limitations of established morphological characters for classification of proteocephalidean tapeworms (Platyhelminthes, Cestoda) by Alain de Chambrier, Andrea Waeschenbach, Makda Fisseha, Tomas Scholz, Jean Mariaux

“…Most of the diversity of adult proteocephalideans can be found in freshwater fishes (predominantly catfishes), a large proportion infects reptiles, but only a few infect amphibians, and a single species has been found to parasitize possums. …”

Diversity in Fish Auditory Systems: One of the Riddles of Sensory Biology by Friedrich eLadich, Tanja eSchulz-Mirbach

“…Swim bladders may be linked to the inner ears via a chain of ossicles (in otophysans), anterior extensions (e.g. some cichlids, squirrelfishes), or the gas bladders may touch the inner ears directly (labyrinth fishes). Studies on catfishes and cichlids demonstrate that larger swim bladders and more pronounced linkages to the inner ears positively affect both auditory sensitivities and the detectable frequency range, but lack of a connection does not exclude hearing enhancement. …”

Morpho-Molecular Discordance? Re-Approaching Systematics of <i>Cambeva </i>(Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Guaratuba-Babitonga-Itapocu Area, Southern Brazil by Wilson J. E. M. Costa, Caio R. M. Feltrin, José Leonardo O. Mattos, Roger H. Dalcin, Vinicius Abilhoa, Axel M. Katz

“…A recent field inventory focusing on catfishes of the trichomycterine genus <i>Cambeva </i>detected the occurrence of two morphotypes, <i>C. barbosae</i> and <i>C. cubataonis</i>, in the Guaratuba-Babitonga-Itapocu area (GBIA) of southern Brazil, reporting some discordance with results of coalescent-based approaches for species delimitation that indicated different estimates of species number. …”

Giant, swimming mouths: oral dimensions of extant sharks do not accurately predict body size in Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi: Arthrodira) by Russell Engelman

“…Arthrodires have proportionally larger mouths than sharks, more similar to catfishes (Siluriformes). The disproportionately large mouths of arthrodires suggest these animals may have consumed larger prey relative to their body size than extant macropredatory sharks, and thus the paleobiology and paleoecology of these two groups may not have been exactly analogous within their respective ecosystems.…”
