Water pollution remains a major environmental concern, with increased toxic by-products being released into water bodies. Many of these chemical contaminants persist in the environment and bio-accumulate in aquatic organisms.

Trophic Redundancy and the Hidden Dietary Overlap Between Native and Invasive Stream Fishes
ABSTRACT Biological invasions introduce non‐native species into natural ecosystems, often reshaping localcommunities and altering trophic interactions. In freshwater environments, such invasions can intensify resource use and threaten native fish diversity.

ABSTRACT Climate change is responsible for salinity intrusion in coastal areas, which is significantly threatening the sustainability of aquaculture. This investigation focused on evaluating growth performance, proximate composition, blood morphology and histopathological modifications in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to varying salinity

Casanovas are liars : behavioral syndromes, sperm competition risk, and the evolution of deceptive male mating behavior in live-bearing fishes [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]
Male reproductive biology can by characterized through competition over mates as well as mate choice. Multiple mating and male mate choice copying, especially in internally fertilizing species, set the stage for increased sperm competition, i.e., sperm ...

Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

Hypotheses for the Adaptive Maintenance of Phenotypic Polymorphisms
Phenotypic polymorphisms offer easily observable diversity ideal for empirical and theoretical exploration, but developing and comparing hypotheses for the adaptive maintenance of polymorphism can be a challenge. Here, we propose a framework categorizing polymorphisms based on (i) one of five distinct types of maintenance selection and (ii) the context

Phloxine B Staining is Compatible With High‐Throughput DNA Barcoding of Meiofauna
Modern, integrative biodiversity research requires methods capable of bridging the gap between detailed morphological observations and the scalability of DNA sequencing. For small, transparent, and highly abundant animals like meiofauna, sorting specimens from the matrix forms a major bottleneck, as the use of commonly used stains can inhibit ...

Does inbreeding affect personality traits?
The question of why variation is maintained in personality traits is an evolutionary puzzle. According to the condition‐dependence hypothesis, such traits depend on condition, which limits the behavioral choices available to individuals.

Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?
Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...
