Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of miniaturization and the phylogenetic position of Paedocypris, comprising the world's smallest vertebrate.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the miniaturized cyprinids with remarkable morphological novelties, like Paedocypris and Danionella, are at the same time the most developmentally truncated taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Families of Cobitoidea (Teleostei; Cypriniformes) as revealed from nuclear genetic data and the position of the mysterious genera Barbucca, Psilorhynchus, Serpenticobitis and Vaillantella.

Ting Hui Ng,Siong Kiat Tan,Wing Hing Wong,Rudolf Meier,Sow-Yan Chan,Heok Hui Tan,Darren C. J. Yeo +6 more
TL;DR: The first assessment of the biodiversity of freshwater molluscs in the ornamental pet trade in Singapore is presented, and it is concluded that potential overharvesting is difficult to assess because only half of the trade species have been treated by IUCN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dammed rivers: impoundments facilitate fish invasions
TL;DR: A global meta-analysis of fish communities, comparing species richness, abundance and proportion of alien species between dammed and undammed rivers, suggests that the conversion of lotic waterbodies into lentic habitats result in the extirpation of species unable to withstand a drastic change in environmental conditions, but the loss is compensated by colonising lacustrine or eurytopic species.
