This paper describes the oldest known tongue bite apparatus in a 310-million-year-old ray-finned fish, highlighting functional innovation in early actinopterygians.

This study examines the mechanical performance of frugivorous fish dentitions, comparing them to bats and primates and finding that Colossoma matches the low force, high work model for fruit tissue indentation.

The paper compares specimen identification methods for Neotropical freshwater fishes, finding expert morphological lab identifications most accurate, and recommends integrative approaches and curated barcode libraries.
