Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary analysis has contributed to our understanding of animal niches, interspecific interactions, community structure and the flow of matter and energy in food webs. We employed three methods of dietary analysis to estimate trophic niche overlap between two peacock bass species, Cichla cataractae and Cichla ocellaris, across sympatric ...

Take my breath away: Defining the oxygen saturation threshold for fish cortisol stress response
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human activities are affecting the number, size and severity of hypoxic zones in aquatic ecosystems. As oxygen is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting fish biology, exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen may lead to a reduction in fitness.

Impacts of predator odours and conspecific disturbance cues on minnow thermal tolerance
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Warming waters can affect fish community dynamics, potentially exacerbating predator–prey asymmetries in behavioural and physiological metrics of thermal tolerance. Further, differing responses of prey fish species to concurrent predation risk and warming highlight the need to understand these impacts in various contexts, especially with at ...

Sex group composition, social interaction, and metabolism in the fish Nile tilapia
Brazilian Journal of BiologyWe tested whether the fish Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a monosex male group spends more energy and displays an agonistic profile, differently from males in male-female groups.
