Small fish, large variation: Morphological diversity of Weberian apparatus in Noturus catfishes and ecological implications. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract The Weberian apparatus is a hearing specialization unique to the otophysan fishes, and an unexpected degree of morphological variation exists in species of the Noturus catfishes. Our aim in this study is to investigate relationships between morphological variations and ecology that may drive this variation.

Diplostomum-Induced Sac Formation in Lenses of Ameiurus Bullheads: A Host Defence Response? [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum (Diplostomidae) are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens known for causing a range of negative effects. Any mechanism that protects the host from the parasite thus represents an evolutionary advantage.

Trait-Based Biomonitoring Using eDNA Metabarcoding to Assess Anthropogenic Disturbances on Freshwater Fish Communities. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Various anthropogenic disturbances affect the succession of aquatic habitats along dendritic river networks. Bioindicator taxa, such as fish, can be used to assess the effects of these disturbances on habitat quality. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a novel approach to complement traditional sampling and analysis of bioindicator ...

Fish Diversity and Environmental Relationships in the Jinsha River During the Initial Phases of the 10-Year Fishing Ban: A Metabarcoding Approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing eDNA metabarcoding, we identified 61 fish species in the Jinsha river during the early stage of the Yangtze river fishing ban. Fish diversity showed seasonal and regional variation, with Cypriniformes as the dominant group. Key environmental factors like temperature and dissolved oxygen were closely linked to diversity patterns.

Invasive predatory fish occupies highest trophic position leading to expansion of isotopic niches in a riverine food web. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Invasive species are drivers of ecological change with the potential to reshape the structure and function of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The invasive flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) is an opportunistic predator that has established a rapidly growing population in the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania, USA, since they were first ...

Winter predatory efficiency and periodicity of the non-native brown bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Winter is a challenge for fish in temperate regions as it is likely to create a bottleneck for small‐bodied fish due to starvation. Resource consumption could contribute substantially to the overwinter survival of fish. Nevertheless, fish feeding activity and related impacts at low temperatures are understudied.
