Predation shapes sperm performance surfaces in guppies [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Sperm velocity is a key determinant of competitive fertilization success in many species. Selection is therefore expected to favour the evolution of faster sperm when the level of sperm competition is high. However, several aspects can determine the direction and strength of selection acting on this key performance trait, including ...

, 2018 Thymol and 1,8-cineole are now known bioinsecticidal monoterpenes occurring in many essential oils. The present study determined their toxicity on insectivorous guppy fish, Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859 known to feed on mosquito larvae.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Amazonian loricariid fish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, from the Rio Negro, and Pterygoplichthys pardalis, from the Rio Solimões, are facultative air‐breathers that can use the stomach as an air‐breathing organ. Measurement of oxygen uptake under progressive aquatic hypoxia revealed a relatively high hypoxia resistance of both species.

Nitrogen excretion and oxygen consumption under severe hypoxia in siluriform fishes from the Amazon
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Siluriform fishes collected from the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões proved to be highly resistant to aquatic hypoxia. In all four species analysed in this study, aquatic oxygen consumption significantly decreased from normoxic levels at water PO2 values near 1 kPa. Air‐breathing activity was observed only in Sturisoma sp. (Rio Negro).

Soil phosphorus status in organic and conventional vegetable farms in Southeast Queensland, Australia [PDF]
, 2007 The soil phosphorus (P) status (0-10 cm) of two farming systems (organic (OF) and conventional (CF) vegetable farms) at two locations (Gatton and Stanthorpe) was examined amongst a suite of soil fertility indicators.

Implications of guppy (Poecilia reticulata) life‐history phenotype for mosquito control
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are frequently introduced to both natural and artificial water bodies as a mosquito control. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that guppies can consume large numbers of larval mosquitoes.
