I have a pdf of this, if anyone is interested.

Historical Biogeography of Hypostomus

Post by pturley »

Fascinating paper, I have only just began to read it (BTW: Thank you.)

Hoek Hee, do you know of any work underway/plans/discussions/proposals to conduct a similar study on the Loricaria Tribe?

It would be interesting to learn (and correlate with personal theories) the evolution of the reproductive behaviors within this group.

My expectations (on the basis of behavior alone) would be allong these lines:
Leaf-brooding (L. laevescula) derived from substrate spawning (Hemiloricaria)
Lip-brooding (majority of Loricaria and others) derived from Leaf-brooding
Belly-brooding (Guyanian L. cataphrata) derived from Lip-brooding

Do you know of any such studies?
Sincerely,
Paul E. Turley

AFAIK, no one has looked at the evolution of brood care in loricariids. Robert Schmidt of Simon's Rock College is doing some work on reproduction in loricariines, but I'm not sure whether it involves the evolution of brood care as well.

Paul,

Much of this is chewed over in the Evers and Siedel Catfish Atlas Vol.1. I have heard them talk on the subject and they base a lot of interfamily groupings / classification on breeding methods employed by the fish.

PS Nice to see you on the forum.

While I have the book and spent considerable hours paging through it, tragically, I cannot read German. When's the English version coming out?

Regarding the forum,GREAT WORK! I was wondering what happened to the Catfish-L listserve since January!

Sincerely,
Paul

Don't have a timescale as yet but it being translated into English by an Ecuadorian!
