Past connection and isolation of Rineloricaria (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) across southeastern Brazilian coastal drainages: evidence for palaeodrainage connectivity and description of a new species
Abstract Pleistocene marine transgressions and regressions repeatedly inundated and exposed the Southeastern Brazilian coast, creating alternating phases of connectivity and isolation among adjacent river drainages, that may have structured freshwater fish diversification. We integrate mitochondrial (COI, CytB) and nuc...
