Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Rearranged Karyotypes and Multiple Sex Chromosome Systems in Armored Catfishes from the Genus Harttia (Teleostei, Siluriformes).
Geize Aparecida Deon,Larissa Glugoski,Marcelo Ricardo Vicari,Viviane Nogaroto,Francisco de Menezes Cavalcante Sassi,Marcelo de Bello Cioffi,Thomas Liehr,Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo,Orlando Moreira-Filho +8 more
TL;DR: The comparative analysis among all Harttia species cytogenetically studied thus far allowed us to provide an evolutionary scenario related to the speciation process of this fish group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosomal Evolution and Evolutionary Relationships of Lebiasina Species (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae).
Francisco de Menezes Cavalcante Sassi,Ezequiel Aguiar de Oliveira,Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo,Mauro Nirchio,Terumi Hatanaka,Manoela M. F. Marinho,Orlando Moreira-Filho,Rouben Aroutiounian,Thomas Liehr,Ahmed Al-Rikabi,Marcelo de Bello Cioffi +10 more
TL;DR: WCP and CGH experiments indicate that the Lebiasina species examined and Boulengerella maculata share similar chromosomal sequences, thus supporting the relatedness between them and the evolutionary relationships between theLebiasinidae and Ctenoluciidae families.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Sex Chromosomes and Evolutionary Relationships in Amazonian Catfishes: The Outstanding Model of the Genus Harttia (Siluriformes: Loricariidae).
Francisco de Menezes Cavalcante Sassi,Geize Aparecida Deon,Geize Aparecida Deon,Orlando Moreira-Filho,Marcelo Ricardo Vicari,Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo,Thomas Liehr,Ezequiel Aguiar de Oliveira,Marcelo de Bello Cioffi +8 more
TL;DR: Harttia catfishes present great species diversity and remarkable cytogenetic variation, including different sex chromosome systems, which makes them a suitable model for evolutionary studies focusing on karyotype differentiation and sex chromosome evolution among lower vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Insight into the Chromosomal Evolution of Lebiasinidae (Teleostei, Characiformes).
Francisco de Menezes Cavalcante Sassi,Terumi Hatanaka,Renata Luiza Rosa de Moraes,Gustavo Akira Toma,Ezequiel Aguiar de Oliveira,Thomas Liehr,Petr Ráb,Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo,Patrik F. Viana,Eliana Feldberg,Mauro Nirchio,Manoela M. F. Marinho,José Francisco de Sousa E Souza,Marcelo de Bello Cioffi +13 more
TL;DR: A genomic comparison in eleven Lebiasinidae species is presented, in addition to a review of the ribosomal DNA sequences distribution in this family, to suggest a symplesiomorphism for Ctenoluciidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytogenetics of the small-sized fish, Copeina guttata (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae): Novel insights into the karyotype differentiation of the family.
Gustavo Akira Toma,Renata Luiza Rosa de Moraes,Francisco de Menezes Cavalcante Sassi,Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo,Ezequiel Aguiar de Oliveira,Petr Ráb,Alexandr Sember,Thomas Liehr,Terumi Hatanaka,Patrik F. Viana,Manoela M. F. Marinho,Eliana Feldberg,Marcelo de Bello Cioffi +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that karyotype diversification in lebiasinids was accompanied by a series of structural and numeric chromosome rearrangements of different types, including particularly fusions and fissions.
