Abstract

Abstract The human activity impact on wild animal populations is indicated by eco‐evolutionary and demographic processes, along with their survival and capacity to evolve; consequently, such data can contribute toward enhancing genetic‐based conservation programs. In this context, knowledge on the life‐history and the eco‐evolutionary processes is required to understand extant patterns of population structure in Prochilodus costatus a Neotropical migratory fish that has been threatened due to loss and fragmentation of its natural habitat since 1960s promoted by the expansion of hydroelectric power plant construction programs. This study evaluated the eco‐evolutionary parameters that cause oscillations in the demography and structure of P. costatus populations. An integrated approach was used, including temporal and spatial sampling, next‐generation sequencing of eight microsatellite loci, multivariate genetic analysis, and demographic life‐history reconstruction. The results provided evidence of the complex interplay of ecological–evolutionary and human‐interference events on the life history of this species in the upper basin. In particular, spawning wave behavior might have ecological triggers resulting in an overlapping of distinct genetic generations, and arising distinct migratory and nonmigratory genetic patterns living in the same area. An abrupt decrease in the effective population size of the P. costatus populations in the recent past (1960–80) was likely driven by environment fragmentation promoted by the construction of the Três Marias hydropower dam. The low allelic diversity that resulted from this event is still detected today; thus, active stocking programs are not effective at expanding the genetic diversity of this species in the river basin. Finally, this study highlights the importance of using mixed methods to understand spatial and temporal variation in genetic structure for effective mitigation and conservation programs for threatened species that are directly affected by human actions.

Abstract

Abstract Fish stocking programs have been implemented to mitigate the blockage of original riverbeds by the construction of hydropower dams, which affects the natural migration of fish populations. However, this method raises concerns regarding the genetic rescue of the original populations of migratory fish species. We investigated the spatial distribution of genetic properties, such as genetic diversity, population structure, and gene flow (migration), of the Neotropical migratory fish Prochilodus costatus in the Três Marias dam in the São Francisco River basin, Brazil, and examined the possible effects of fish stocking programs on P. costatus populations in this region. In total, 1,017 specimens were sampled from 12 natural sites and a fish stocking program, and genotyped for high‐throughput sequencing at 8 microsatellite loci. The populations presented low genetic variability, with evidence of inbreeding and the presence of only four genetic pools; three pools were observed throughout the study region, and the fourth was exclusive to one area in the Paraopeba River. Additionally, we identified high unidirectional gene flow between regions, and a preferred migratory route between the Pará River and the upper portion of the São Francisco River. The fish stocking program succeeded in transposing the genetic pools from downstream to upstream of the Três Marias dam, but, regrettably, promoted genetic homogenization in the upper São Francisco River basin. Moreover, the data show the fragility of this species at the genetic level. This monitoring strategy could be a model for the development of conservation and management measures for migratory fish populations that are consumed by humans.

Abstract

Hypostomus francisci, commonly known as “cascudo”, is a fish of ecological importance found in the upper São Francisco River, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Here we present the complete mitogenome (mtDNA) of H. francisci. The whole molecule is 16,541 bp long and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region (D-loop). All the PCGs in the H. francisci mtDNA use the standard ATG start codon, except for Cox1, which utilizes GTG. Seven of the 13 PCGs contain TAA stop codons, three contain a TAG, and three contain the incomplete stop codons TA − or T−.

Abstract

Leporinus elongatus is an important commercial fish found in the La Plata and Paraná River basins. Next-generation sequencing was used to sequence the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of L. elongatus. The mtDNA was assembled using the CLC Workbench software v. 9.0 and subsequently aligned to other 10 complete fish mitochondrial sequences to enable phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 7.0. The complete mtDNA molecule had 16,784 bp and its GC content was 43%. The mtDNA structure was similar to that of other vertebrates: two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, 13 protein-coding genes, and a D-loop region containing 1115 bp. Phylogenetic analysis yielded a tree with high bootstrap value that was coherent with the current phylogeny proposed for Characiformes.

Abstract

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data. The number of species for the most numerous orders are as follows: Characiformes (1289), Siluriformes (1384), Cichliformes (354), Cyprinodontiformes (245), and Gymnotiformes (135). The most recorded species was the characid Astyanax fasciatus (4696 records). We registered 116,802 distribution records for native species, compared to 1802 distribution records for nonnative species. The main aim of the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set was to make these occurrence and abundance data accessible for international researchers to develop ecological and macroecological studies, from local to regional scales, with focal fish species, families, or orders. We anticipate that the NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set will be valuable for studies on a wide range of ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, fishery pressure, the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, and the impacts of species invasion and climate change. There are no copyright restrictions on the data, and please cite this data paper when using the data in publications.

Abstract

A agenesia pulmonar e uma anomalia congenita extremamente rara, representada pela falha no desenvolvimento dos brotamentos pulmonares, que geralmente acontece unilateralmente. O objetivo do trabalho foi relatar aspectos clinico-macroscopicos da ocorrencia de agenesia pulmonar unilateral em filhote de Chelonoidis arbonaria . Ovos de jabutis (n = 83) foram incubados artificialmente a 29oC durante 131 dias, sendo que somente 10 eclodiram. No momento da eclosao, todos os filhotes apresentavam aspecto morfologico normal. Os filhotes foram alimentados diariamente com frutas e verduras ate completarem aproximadamente 2 meses de idade, quando foram eutanasiados. Durante este periodo, observou-se que um dos filhotes apresentou como sinais clinicos respiracao ofegante e pela boca, dificuldade em se alimentar e pouco deslocamento dentro da caixa, ficando isolado dos demais filhotes. A necropsia, este apresentou ausencia do pulmao esquerdo, baixo desenvolvimento de orgaos e dilatacao cardiaca. O caso traz como relevância a ocorrencia da agenesia pulmonar unilateral a esquerda, sem associacao com outras malformacoes.

Abstract

Mitochondrial complete genome (mtDNA) of Hoplias intermedius, commonly known as “traírão” is presented. DNA from a muscle tissue sample was sequenced by next-generation sequencing. To corroborate the results, phylogenetic analysis was performed with MEGA6 to compare the complete mitogenome of H. intermedius with genomes of other Characiformes species. The mtDNA molecule was circular and 16,629 bp in length. Gene content included 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and a D-loop noncoding region. All genes had ATG as the start codon. Six genes carried complete stop codons of AGG (COI), TGA (ND6) and TAA (ND1, ATPase 8, ND4L and ND5), while seven genes had incomplete stop codons. Phylogenetic relationships with other Ostariophysi species placed H. intermedius together with H. malabaricus as a monophyletic group belonging to the order Characiformes.

Abstract

Illegal hunting and fishing activities are of great relevance to conservation policies. Few studies with regional focus of the impacts of these activities in Brazil are available. The aim of this study was to characterize illegal hunting and fishing on a national level by collecting data from the environmental police. We analyzed reports prepared by 16 states, all of them which contained a variety of information about seized species, and showed a lack of standardization of data collection and presentation. Illegal fish seizures were predominantly of Amazonian species. Illegal hunting seizures showed the most uniform territorial distribution. Armadillos (Dasypodidae family), pacas (Cuniculus paca), and capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) were the most frequently seized species, and numerous seizures of Brazilian guinea pig (Cavia aperea) were reported in northeastern Brazil. The reports provided by environmental military police have great informative power for conservation policies, but they must be standardized among states to improve the quality of data provided and analysis.
