Males of Ichthyofilaria argentinensis Incorvaia, 1999 and I. bergensis (Wülker, 1930) (Dracunculoidea: Guyanemidae): New morphological aspects and emendation of the generic diagnosis [PDF]
The adult male of dracunculoid nematode Ichthyofilaria argentinensis Incorvaia, 1999 (Guyanemidae) is described for the first time based on specimens found in the swimbladder of its type host, Merluccius hubbsi Marini (Merlucciidae), caught off the coast

The Long and the Short of It: Nanopore-Based eDNA Metabarcoding of Marine Vertebrates Works; Sensitivity and Species-Level Assignment Depend on Amplicon Lengths. [PDF]
ABSTRACT To monitor the effect of nature restoration projects in North Sea ecosystems, accurate and intensive biodiversity assessments are vital. DNA‐based techniques and especially environmental (e)DNA metabarcoding is becoming a powerful monitoring tool.

Bioaccumulation modelling and sensitivity analysis for discovering key players in contaminated food webs: the case study of PCBs in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
Modelling bioaccumulation processes at the food web level is the main step to analyse the effects of pollutants at the global ecosystem level. A crucial question is understanding which species play a key role in the trophic transfer of contaminants to ...

Density-dependent changes in effective area occupied for sea-bottom-associated marine fishes [PDF]
The spatial distribution of marine fishes can change for many reasons including density-dependent distributional shifts. Previous studies show mixed support for either the proportional-density model, PDM (no relationship between abundance and area ...

Changes in the diet of predatory ribbonfish Trichiurus lepturus Linnaeus, 1758 with increasing body size along Chennai coast [PDF]
In recent years, it has been recognised that predatory fishes are rapidly declining in marine habitats. Hence, gathering information on biological characteristics such as dietary dynamics of predatory fishes has assumed importance.

The Metapopulation Bridge to Macroevolutionary Speciation Rates: A Conceptual Framework and Empirical Test. [PDF]
Can metapopulation persistence predict speciation rates? Here, we provide a new framework and apply it to 40 years of fish metacommunity data to test this hypothesized bridge between micro‐ and macroevolution. ABSTRACT Whether large‐scale variation in lineage diversification rates can be predicted by species properties at the population level is a key ...
