The dwarf neon rainbowfish Melanotaenia praecox, a small spiny-rayed fish with potential as a new Acanthomorpha model fish: II. Establishment of a microinjection procedure for genetic engineering. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Dyn
Abstract Background Rainbowfish is a clade of colorful freshwater fish. Melanotaenia praecox is a small rainbowfish species with biological characteristics that make it potentially useful as an experimental model species. We anticipate that M. praecox could become a new model used in various fields, such as ecology, evolution, and developmental biology.

The dwarf neon rainbowfish Melanotaenia praecox, a small spiny-rayed fish with potential as a new Acanthomorpha model fish: I. Fin ray ontogeny and postembryonic staging. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Dyn
Abstract Background Fish fins with highly variable color patterns and morphologies have many functions. In Actinopterygii, the free parts of fins are supported by “soft rays” and “spiny rays.” Spiny rays have various functions and are extremely modified in some species, but they are lacking in popular model fish such as zebrafish and medaka ...

Phylogenetic relationships among atheriniform fishes (Teleostei: Atherinomorpha) [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996
We present evidence from adult and larval morphology for the monophyly and relationships of Atheriniformes, using other atherinomorphs, mugilids and acanthomorph fishes as outgroups. Atheriniformes is diagnosed by ten characters (larval: short preanal length, single mid-dorsal row of melanophores; adult: vomerine ventral face concave, long A1 muscle ...

The Walker Scale: Details of a Method for Assessing Beach-Spawning Runs of California Grunion Leuresthes tenuis (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae)

open access: yesIchthyology & Herpetology, 2021
The California Grunion Leuresthes tenuis, a marine atherinopsid, makes spawning runs onto some of the busiest urban beaches of southern California. Eggs remain buried under moist sand, tidally emerged from water throughout incubation.

Where the Ends Meet: An Overview of Sex Determination in Atheriniform Fishes [PDF]

open access: yesSexual Development, 2021
Atheriniform fishes have recently emerged as attractive models for evolutionary, ecological, and molecular/physiological studies on sex determination. Many species in this group have marked temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) and yet many species also have a sex determinant gene that provides a strong drive for male differentiation.

The reproductive biology of small fishes and the clutch concept: Combining macroscopic and histological approaches

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 253-264, August 2022., 2022
Accurate estimates of reproductive parameters important in understanding life history evolution and conservation of small fishes are dependent upon careful assignment of ovarian phases. We review oocyte development and the ovarian cycling process using both macroscopic and histological approaches which incorporate the clutch concept.

Conservation translocations from the ‘Global Reintroduction Perspectives’ series: Disease and other biological problems

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 3, July–September 2022., 2022
This dataset was extracted from case studies of animal and plant conservation translocation published in the first six volumes (2008‐2018) of the IUCN/SSC's 'Global Reintroduction Perspectives' series. Alongside project metadata, it contains the following self‐reported information: select project strategies and methods; information relating to any ...

The mitogenome of the California grunion (Leuresthes tenuis)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We report the complete mitogenome for the California grunion (Leuresthes tenuis), a beach-spawning silverside fish endemic to eastern Pacific coastal waters of California, USA and Baja California, Mexico.

Substantial intraspecific trait variation across a hydrological gradient in northern Australian fishes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Trait‐based models of ecological communities and ecosystem functioning often fail to account for intraspecific variation in functional traits, assuming that intraspecific variability is negligible compared with interspecific variability. However, this assumption remains poorly tested across vertebrate animals where past studies routinely ...
