Gross brain morphology of Hypoptopomatinae and Neoplecostominae (Siluriformes: Loricariidae): Comparative anatomy and phylogenetic implications

“…So far, few teleosts have had their brains studied in detail (Vernier, 2017) and, among the Siluriformes, the Ictaluridae has been the most explored family (Atema, 1971; Finger, 1975, 1976; Knudsen, 1976, 1977; Lee & Bullock, 1984; Meek & Nieuwenhuys, 1998; Northcutt, Holmes, & Albert, 2000; Striedter, 1990a, 1990b, 1991; Tong & Finger, 1983). Increased interest in brain evolution (Striedter, 2005) has since permitted more comparative approaches, resulting several combined investigations of neuroanatomy and systematics among Notothenioidei (e.g., Eastman & Lanoo, 1995, 2003a, 2003b, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011), Callichthyidae (Pupo, 2011; Pupo & Britto, 2018), Pseudopimelodidae (Abrahão, 2013; Abrahão, Pupo, & Shibatta, 2018a), Bryconidae (Pereira & Castro, 2016), Heptapteridae (Abrahão, Pupo, & Shibatta, 2018b), Cetopsidae (Abrahão, 2018), and Loricariinae (Angulo, 2019). The brains of most of the fishes outside of these groups, such as Hypoptopomatinae, are like black boxes waiting to be opened.…”
