Conserving the freshwater fishes of South America (2013, background): “In the 9 years since the publication of CLOFFSCA, more than 900 additional freshwater fish species have been described from the region, at an average of one new species every 3·5 days, thus elevating the number of known species to around 5400 in 2012.”
Seed dispersal by fishes in tropical and temperate fresh waters: The growing evidence (2011, background): “The Amazon holds the largest diversity of freshwater fishes in the world (Reis et al., 2003), and so it is not surprising that the vast majority of records of fruit-eating fishes come from this river basin alone.”
Checklist of catfishes, recent and fossil (Osteichthyes: Siluriformes), and catalogue of siluriform primary types (2007, methodology): “In preparing this checklist, I drew heavily on the information and interpretations of several previous publications, most notably the Catalog of Fishes (Eschmeyer, 1998), CLOFFA (Daget et al., 1986), and CLOFFSCA (Reis et al., 2003).”
Checklist of the freshwater fishes of Colombia (2008, methodology): “The checklist follows the taxonomic classification used by Reis et al. (2003), with families arranged in systematic order, and genera and species of each family and subfamily listed alphabetically.”
Phylogenetic systematics and historical biogeography of the Neotropical electric fish Gymnotus (Teleostei: Gymnotidae) (2005, background): “Neotropical freshwaters are among the most diverse ecosystems on earth, containing an estimated 6000 species of fishes or approximately 11% of described vertebrates (Vari & Malabarba, 1998; Lundberg et al., 2000; Reis et al., 2003).”
IDENTIFICATION OF SAILFIN CATFISHES (TELEOSTEI: LORICARIIDAE) IN SOUTHEASTERN ASIA (2006, background): “With about 80 genera and 680 species (Reis et al., 2003), Loricariidae is the largest family of catfishes (Siluriformes).”
Overfishing disrupts an ancient mutualism between frugivorous fishes and plants in Neotropical wetlands (2015, unknown): “Fish nomenclature follows Reis et al. (2003).”
Fish biodiversity and conservation in South America. (2016, background): “…land use changes, hydroelectric damming, water pollution, mining, urbanization and poor agricultural practices, in addition to overfishing, are causing rapid declines and threatening the extinction of many fish species in South America (Reis et al., 2003; Allan et al., 2005; Barletta et al., 2010).”
