Phylogenetic classification of bony fishes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
BackgroundFish classifications, as those of most other taxonomic groups, are being transformed drastically as new molecular phylogenies provide support for natural groups that were unanticipated by previous studies.

MiFish, a set of universal PCR primers for metabarcoding environmental DNA from fishes: detection of more than 230 subtropical marine species

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
We developed a set of universal PCR primers (MiFish-U/E) for metabarcoding environmental DNA (eDNA) from fishes. Primers were designed using aligned whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences from 880 species, supplemented by partial mitogenome ...

An overview of fish bioacoustics and the impacts of anthropogenic sounds on fishes

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, 2019
Fishes use a variety of sensory systems to learn about their environments and to communicate. Of the various senses, hearing plays a particularly important role for fishes in providing information, often from great distances, from all around these ...

Evidence of unidirectional gene flow in a fragmented population of Salmo trutta L.

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Selection, genetic drift, and gene flow affect genetic variation within populations and genetic differences among populations. Both drift and selection tend to decrease variation within populations and increase differences among populations, whereas gene

Male Sexual Preference for Female Swimming Activity in the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Mate choice that is based on behavioural traits is a common feature in the animal kingdom. Using the Trinidadian guppy, a species with mutual mate choice, we investigated whether males use female swimming activity—a behavioural trait known to differ ...

Fish and amphibians as bat predators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Although bats (Chiroptera) belong to the most diverse mammalian orders, study of diversity of their natural predators has been seriously neglected for a long time.

The determination of standard metabolic rate in fishes.

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, 2016
This review and data analysis outline how fish biologists should most reliably estimate the minimal amount of oxygen needed by a fish to support its aerobic metabolic rate (termed standard metabolic rate; SMR).
