Lacustrine forms of Triglopsis from North American and European lakes are at different stages of evolution, making them a suitable model for testing hypotheses about evolutionary patterns and rates. An integrative analysis of morphological, genetic, and biological adaptations occurring in lacustrine forms of the genus Triglopsis was carried out.

Innovation and the great divergence
Abstract Recent historical national accounting data show that the timing of the Great Divergence hinges on the different trends in north‐west Europe and the Yangzi Delta region of China. Although north‐west Europe only pulled ahead of the Yangzi Delta after 1700, both the positive trend of GDP per capita in north‐west Europe after 1700 and the negative

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Wakasagi in the San Francisco Bay–Delta Watershed: Comparative Trends in Distribution and Life-History Traits with Native Delta Smelt [PDF]
Intentional introductions of non-native fishes can have severe consequences on native communities. Wakasagi (Hypomesus nipponensis, referred to as Japanese Pond Smelt) are native to Japan and were once separated from their non-native congener the ...
