Hi, does anyone have access to bone or skeletal material of Auchenoglanis (A. biscutatus, A. occidentalis, A. senegali) or other catfishes of Claroteidae, especially cranial elements such nuchal plates different species for comparison?
you are welcome to visit my dry skeletion collection in poitiers where I have prepared material of African catfishes. The MNHN proposed an online database (osteobase) that is usefull.
Closer to you, you might contact Wim Van Neer in Bruxelles, he has a great dry skeleton bones including African species
