Inferring Diversity and Evolution in Fish by Means of Integrative Molecular Cytogenetics. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2015 Fish constitute a paraphyletic and profusely diversified group that has historically puzzled ichthyologists. Hard efforts are necessary to better understand this group, due to its extensive diversity. New species are often identified and it leads to questions about their phylogenetic aspects. Cytogenetics is becoming an important biodiversity‐detection

Seasonal changes of fish assemblages in a subtropical lagoon in the SE Gulf of California. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2014 The composition and seasonal changes of the fish assemblage in a coastal lagoon system in southeastern Gulf of California were assessed from December 2001 to July 2005. A total of 20,877 organisms belonging to 191 species and 47 families were analyzed. We determined that almost all the species inhabiting the system were found; however some rare species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 1217-1229, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Biodiversity inventories and monitoring techniques for marine fishes often overlook small (<5 cm), bottom‐associated (‘cryptobenthic’) fishes, and few standardized, comparative assessments of cryptobenthic fish communities exist. We sought to develop a standardized, quantitative survey method for cryptobenthic fishes that permits their ...

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Length‐weight relationships (LWR) were described for 53 species of shallow‐water fish caught with bottom trawls in a depth range between 7.3 and 108.1 m during September 2013 in the Colombian Caribbean Sea (fishing area 31 of the FAO). A linear regression was performed using the logarithmically transformed data to calculate a and b coefficients and ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 1597-1609, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Understanding patterns and drivers of biodiversity are essential towards developing effective conservation strategies for shallow marine habitats broadly. However, little is known about the natural and anthropogenic factors that structure fish biodiversity of sandy beaches, one of the largest and most socio‐economically valuable nearshore ...

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Forage fishes are an important component of marine, estuarine, and aquatic food webs that facilitate the transfer of energy and nutrients from primary producers to upper trophic levels. Previous studies of forage fishes have focused primarily on pelagic planktivorous species in pelagic environments.

Climate change linked to functional homogenization of a subtropical estuarine system
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Distribution shifts in fish species, which have been linked to increasing temperatures, have led to subsequent increases in fish species diversity. In our study, increasing species diversity led to increased functional richness but decreased functional dispersion.

Responses of aquaculture fish to climate change‐induced extreme temperatures: A review
Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 314-366, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Climate change‐induced extreme temperature events are becoming more intense and frequent. For fish, temperature is the master abiotic factor that controls and limits fish development and physiology at all stages of aquaculture. Major physiological constraints at the individual level underpin changes in fish growth, hemato‐physiology ...

An evaluation of the role of sensory drive in the evolution of lake Malawi cichlid fishes. [PDF]
Int J Evol Biol, 2012 Although the cichlids of Lake Malawi are an important model system for the study of sensory evolution and sexual selection, the evolutionary processes linking these two phenomena remain unclear. Prior works have proposed that evolutionary divergence is driven by sensory drive, particularly as it applies to the visual system.

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2020 A helminthological examination was carried out on 14 specimens of Eucinostomus melanopterus (flagfin mojarra) and 19 Eugerres plumieri (striped mojarra), of which a total of 461 helminths were collected.
