Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Habitat notes The new species was collected in narrow (about 50 cm wide) and shallow (about 20 cm deep) streams in a dense tropical forest (Mata Atlantica). Individuals were found buried in the litter bottom. No other fishes were observed, but tadpoles (unidentified) were present.
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Listrura picinguabae is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, freshwater, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Listrura picinguabae.
