Feeding strategies and diet variation in livebearing fishes of the genus Limia (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae) in the Greater Antilles

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 389-400, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Feeding specialisations are known to play an important role in the ecology and evolution of many organisms. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on the data of the gut content of eight species of the genus Limia (family Poeciliidae) to explore the potential role of feeding ecology in the radiation of this genus in the ...

Citizen scientists contributing to alien species detection: the case of fishes and mollusks in European marine waters

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...

Evidence for general size‐by‐habitat rules in actinopterygian fishes across nine scales of observation

Ecology Letters, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 1569-1581, August 2021., 2021
Establishing environmental predictors of body size is of fundamental importance to ecology. With data from over 27,000 species of fishes, I establish general size rules between the major aquatic habitat types, revealing that various marine‐influenced environments contain larger taxa than those in freshwaters.

A contribution to the checklist of fishes of San Luis province, Argentina [PDF]

, 2015
San Luis province presents arheic and endorheic basins that are poorly understood in terms of their ichthyological composition. The samples taken recently from the main basins of this province have yielded data of undisputed biogeographic value for the ...

Structure and function of placental exchange surfaces in goodeid fishes (Teleostei: Atheriniformes) [PDF]

Journal of Morphology, 2015
ABSTRACTThe species of the family Goodeidae have evolved reproductive strategies involving intraovarian gestation, early evacuation of nearly yolk‐exhausted embryos from the ovigerous tissue into the ovarian cavity, placental matrotrophy during intraluminal gestation, and the birth of highly developed fry.
