Is there hidden genetic variability in the species of <i>Steindachneridion</i> Garavello, 2005 (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae)?
In conclusion, the study of genetic diversity in four <i>Steindachneridion</i> species has revealed distinct molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs), which highlights the necessity for conservation efforts. The detection of new haplotypes and intraspecific variability emphasizes the urgency of implementing systematic conservation measures in the face of looming extinction threats.
