Hybrid Horizons: Screening Hybridisation Through Nuclear Environmental DNA
ABSTRACT Effective monitoring of hybrid zones is essential for understanding evolutionary dynamics and mitigating species loss caused by human‐mediated hybridisation. Conventional methods rely on sampling numerous individuals, which is costly, time‐consuming and often impractical for rare or elusive species.

A preliminary assessment of water quality in fish cages on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe [PDF]
The water quality in fish cages on Lake Kariba was studied. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine whether the water quality parameters differed significantly among the cage-types (cage-type effect). Secchi disc readings ranged from 2 to 4 metres,

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Genetic status of selected fish taxa in relation to conservation of genetic and species diversity in the Victoria and Kyoga Lake basins [PDF]
Cichlids are known for their explosive radiation especially in the African Great Lakes marked with a high level of lake endemism. These fishes have been characterized mainly along trophic and habitat differences, by variation in morphological structures ...

Comparative study on the catch efficiency and size selection of entangling nets in Lake Kainji, Nigeria [PDF]
The relative catch performance and selectively of gillnets and trammel nets were investigated in 12 sampling stations in Lake Kainji, Nigeria. 3 types of nets with dimensions 50mx3m were constructed using 76mm and 178mm meshsizes for two gillnets, 76mm ...
