Acantopsis (Cobitidae) is revised based on analysis of morphological and molecular data. Four of the six available names, A. dialuzona, A. spectabilis, A. octoactinotos, and A. thiemmedhi, are valid, and three new species, A. rungthipae, A. dinema, and A. ioa, are described. All species are described morphologically, distributions are mapped, and r...

Diets were estimated from stomach contents and the MixSIR model using stable isotope values for five co-existing and abundant benthic fishes in relation to potential prey from a riffle habitat in a tropical river in eastern Thailand. Collectively, aquatic insects were of greatest dietary importance based on stomach contents and, except for one fish...

We examined foraging adaptations and diet among dominant fishes within two species-rich riffle habitats in Thailand headwater rivers during the early and late portions of the dry season. All species exhibited diel temporal variations in feeding activity. Some species fed principally during daylight, while others fed mainly during darkness. Feeding...

Diversity of freshwater fishes is spatially heterogeneous but, for the most part, the reasons remain poorly understood in Thailand. This review attempts to promulgate factors linking freshwater fishes and habitats, particularly morphological, physiological and ecological, drawing on principles and information from elsewhere but with the focus being...

Total length-weight regressions on logarithmic transformed data are provided for 33 species, with 26 apparently being first estimates. All regressions are highly significant with slope values between 2.5720 and 3.4436. Slopes and intercepts of length-weight regressions did not differ significantly with location for each of three species. Preservati...
