Do you believe that a vertebrate can live in this tiny and shallow #freshwater pool? Here is the miniature #fish Listrura depinnai, endemic to RS, Brazil, discovery some years ago in a wetland #forest of a Conservation Unit. Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! doi.org/10.1643/CI-13-…

Happy #TaxonomistAppreciationDay! I want to share a photo of my mentor Luiz R. Malabarba along of so many years & the UFRGS fish collection, two partners in this hard, but adorable task of describing #freshwater #fishes from Neotropics.

When considering the reciprocal monophyly, the degree of genetic divergence, and all the morphological evidences, our data suggest that HBT and HBP represent sister lineages. ni.bio.br/1982-0224-2020… doi.org/10.1590/1982-0…
