Field Guide to Nonindigenous Marine Fishes of Florida [PDF]

, 2009
The purpose of this field guide is to provide information on nonindigenous (i.e., non-native) fishes that have been observed in Florida’s marine waters. Introductions of non-native marine fishes into Florida’s waters could be intentional or unintentional,

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Sequence Expression of Supernumerary B Chromosomes: Function or Fluff? [PDF]

, 2019
B chromosomes are enigmatic heritable elements found in the genomes of numerous plant and animal species. Contrary to their broad distribution, most B chromosomes are non-essential. For this reason, they are regarded as genome parasites.

Desert cichlids

Natura
Cichlids were given their name by the French zoologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte (1803-1857), a nephew of Napoleon, who borrowed the term from the Greek κίχλη (kichle), a word that in origin had the broad meaning of “wrasse” (a fish) or “thrush” (a bird).

Structural and developmental insights into the muscles involved in lionfish (Pterois spp.) vocalisations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vocal signalling is an important mode of communication in fishes. The two species of lionfish in the Pterois complex, the Indo‐Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the red lionfish (Pterois miles), are both known to produce different types of sounds with sonic muscles attached to the swimbladder.

Cryptobia iubilans in Cichlids

EDIS, 2014
After many years of diagnostics at the University of Florida and at other laboratories around the country, it appears that Cryptobia iubilans is not uncommon among cichlids, and that environmental and other factors determine the extent of disease. This revised 3-page fact sheet was written by Ruth Francis-Floyd and Roy Yanong, and published by the UF ...

Linking rivers, mixing faunas: How artificial connectivity between the Middle and Upper Paraná River basins shapes fish diversity in a tributary of the Itaipu Reservoir, Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This work aimed to investigate the distribution and occurrence of fish species along the São Francisco Falso Braço Norte (SFFBN) River basin, a tributary of the Middle Paraná River basin now artificially connected to the Upper Paraná ecoregion, to evaluate how such connectivity may affect the biogeographic distribution and regional composition

Lateralization of lateral displays in convict cichlids [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2011
We examine lateralization of lateral displays in convict cichlids, Amatitlania nigrofasciata , and show a population level preference for showing the right side. This enables contesting pairs of fish to align in a head-to-tail posture, facilitating other activities.

Growth and age differences between two male alternative reproductive tactics in the plainfin midshipman

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus Girard, 1854) is a toadfish with two distinct reproductive male tactics: ‘guarder males’ and ‘sneaker males’. These two tactics are anatomically, physiologically and behaviourally distinct from one another at sexual maturity, but it remained unclear whether these two male types remain fixed or ...
