the same as the new B. protos?

Yes

This is at a higher level than catfishes alone, but provides a quick overview of catfish phylogeny.

Isn't an unavailable name, given that its description exists only as a preprint posted 17 June 2025? Whoever that added it must have confused it with Y. eocenicus, which was described in 2018 and is not in the Cat-eLog.

I have dissected specimens purchased from fish markets in Sumatra before, and their guts were full of very fine detritus (looks like substrate from large rivers). They probably ingested the substrate for the small invertebrates buried in them. The size of their mouths suggest that they can't eat ...

Not sure if I’m seeing it right, but if the fish are swimming side by side and occasionally shuddering, I’ve seen this in a number of bagrids. Not sure if it’s an agonistic display or a prelude to spawning.

If you look at the photo on page 5 of the book, the species being studied isn't even M. leucophasis, but either M. cavasius or M. bleekeri.

Three strikes. I am moving this out of the Science News forum.
