Morphologic analysis of developmental phases and gill ontogenesis in neotropical species Poecilia vivipara (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae) exposed to different salinities

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010
The present study evaluated and characterized the different phases of development and the cell types present in the gill epithelium of embryos, larvae, and fingerlings of guppy (Poecilia vivipara Bloch & Schneider, 1801) specimens exposed to water with ...

Reproductive interference in live-bearing fish: the male guppy is a potential biological agent for eradicating invasive mosquitofish

Scientific Reports, 2019
The eradication of invasive exotic species is desirable but often infeasible. Here, we show that male guppies are a potential biological agent for eradicating invasive mosquitofish through the mechanism of reproductive interference, which is defined as ...

Complementarity of Long‐Reads and Optical Mapping in Parkinson's Disease for Structural Variants

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Long‐read sequencing and optical genome mapping technologies have the ability to detect large and complex structural variants. This has led to the discovery of novel pathogenic variants in neurodegenerative movement disorders. Thus, we aimed to systematically compare the SV detection capabilities of OGM and ONT in Parkinson's disease.

Comparison of Behavioral Traits and Invasion Success Between Two Global Freshwater Fish Invaders—Gambusia holbrooki and Gambusia affinis

Fishes
In the early 1900s, eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) and western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) were deliberately and globally introduced for the biological control of mosquito larvae.

Guppy: Process-Oriented Programming on Embedded Devices [PDF]

, 2015
Guppy is a new and experimental process-oriented programming language, taking much inspiration (and some code-base) from the existing occam-pi language. This paper reports on a variety of aspects related to this, specifically language, compiler and run ...

Experimental harvesting of fish populations drives genetically based shifts in body size and maturation [PDF]

, 2013
Size-selective harvesting in commercial fisheries can induce rapid changes in biological traits. While experimental and wild harvested populations often exhibit clear shifts in body size and maturation associated with fishing pressure, the relative ...

Thermal Plasticity is Regulated by a Key MicroRNA During Range Expansion of an Invasive Fruit Fly

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Populations at the invasion front of Bactrocera dorsalis adapt through reduced phenotypic and gene expression plasticity, a phenomenon likely to be driven by genetic assimilation. We identify a key miRNA‐mediated regulatory axis, in which miR‐276b post‐transcriptionally represses thw, a conserved chitin‐binding gene critical to the cold‐tolerance ...

Sperm storage by males causes changes in sperm phenotype and influences the reproductive fitness of males and their sons [PDF]

, 2017
Recent studies suggest that environmentally induced effects on sperm phenotype can influence offspring phenotype beyond the classic Mendelian inheritance mechanism.

Predictable adaptive trajectories of sexual coloration in the wild: Evidence from replicate experimental guppy populations *

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2018
The question of whether populations evolve predictably and consistently under similar selective regimes is fundamental to understanding how adaptation proceeds in the wild. We address this question with a replicated evolution experiment focused upon male

Highly Resolved Community Sewage Metagenomics Unveiling Landscape and Transmission Patterns of Antibiotic Resistome in Hong Kong Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A large‐scale, high‐resolution antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in Hong Kong community sewage combining short‐ and long‐read sequencing. The resistome profile is comprehensively characterized, and this upstream sampling strategy demonstrated superiority in reflecting the human gut resistome.
