Isbrueckerichthys
''Isbrueckerichthys'' is a genus of armored catfishes native to South America. Taxonomy ''Isbrueckerichthys'' was erected in 1996 for ''Pareiorhaphis duseni'' and ''Pareiorhaphis alipionis'', which were transferred to the new genus. ''I. epakmos'' was described in 2003. ''I. calvus'' and ''I. saxicola'' were described in 2006. Species There are currently five recognized species in this genus: * ''Isbrueckerichthys alipionis'' ( Gosline, 1947) * ''Isbrueckerichthys calvus'' Jerep, Shibatta, E. H. L. Pereira & Oyakawa, 2006 * ''Isbrueckerichthys duseni'' ( A. Miranda-Ribeiro, 1907) * ''Isbrueckerichthys epakmos'' E. H. L. Pereira & Oyakawa, 2003 * ''Isbrueckerichthys saxicola'' Jerep, Shibatta, E. H. L. Pereira & Oyakawa, 2006 Distribution Three species of ''Isbrueckerichthys'' are thought to be endemic to the Ribeira de Iguape River basin: ''I. duseni'' from the upper reaches of that basin in Paraná State, ''I. alipionis'' from the Betari River, a tributary of rio ...

Ribeira De Iguape River
The Ribeira de Iguape River ( pt, Rio Ribeira de Iguape), or simply the Ribeira River ( pt, Rio Ribeira), is a river of Paraná and São Paulo states in southeastern Brazil. It flows into the Atlantic Ocean near Iguape. The river is home to several endemic species of fish. So far no dams have been built on the river, although four have been proposed. Although it flows through a relatively sparsely populated region with untouched areas of Atlantic Forest, the river has been contaminated with heavy metals from mining beyond the point where it is considered safe to eat the molluscs found in the river and its estuary. Course The Ribeira de Iguape River is long, and is the largest in São Paulo to have no dams along its length. It forms at the confluence of the Ribeirinha River and the Açunguí River in the state of Paraná less than from Curitiba. The elevation at its origin is about . The main source is in the Campos Gerais National Park. About of the river is in the state ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Neoplecostominae
Neoplecostominae is a subfamily of South American catfishes of the family Loricariidae. Species of this subfamily live in high-mountain and swift-flowing river habitats. Taxonomy This subfamily is the most basal clade in Loricariidae with the exception of Lithogeneinae. The genera do not form a monophyletic In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants. Monophyletic ... assemblage. Neoplecostominae is not diagnosed by any unique characteristic. However, molecular studies have supported this grouping. Within the paraphyletic Neoplecostominae, ''Pareiorhina'' forms a monophyletic subunit that also includes ''Neoplecostomus''.

Endemism
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example ''Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. ''Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies t ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
