Background Raising unrelated offspring is typically wasteful of parental resources and so individuals are expected to reduce or maintain low levels of parental effort when their parentage is low.

We have examined the phylogenetic relationships, genomic structure, admixture, and historical gene flow among the endemic charrs from the Kronotskoe‐Uzon water system in Kamchatka, in order to reconstruct their evolutionary history. We found that this unique diversity formed in the post‐LGM—Holocene time as a result of several waves of Salvelinus malma

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited due to methodological differences across programs, taxonomic ...

Abstract Surface processes, including hydroclimate variations, affect crustal deformation and fault behavior. These controls are especially important for intrarift faults in continental rift systems, which accommodate substantial strain while experiencing large hydrological load variations beneath rift lakes.

First insights into the diversity of gill monogeneans of ‘Gnathochromis’ and Limnochromis (Teleostei, Cichlidae) in Burundi: do the parasites mirror host ecology and phylogenetic history? [PDF]
Monogenea is one of the most species-rich groups of parasitic flatworms worldwide, with many species described only recently, which is particularly true for African monogeneans.

ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater crabs are ecologically vital benthic macroinvertebrates that sustain freshwater ecosystem functions, yet their limited dispersal and fragmented habitats make them vulnerable to human disturbance. Current conservation assessments for freshwater crabs remain incomplete, as most studies focus on species richness while neglecting ...

Translocation of the clupeid Sardinella tawilis to another lake in the Philippines: A proposal and ecological considerations [PDF]
The dwindling commercial catch of Sardinella tawilis (Clupeidae), locally known as 'tawilis', reported in recent years by local fisher folk in Lake Taal, Batangas, Philippines, could be a result of the interaction of factors such as over fishing ...

Material Before Morphology: Substrate‐Dependent Mechanical Tuning of Radular Teeth
Substrate‐dependent material tuning in Clausilia radular teeth. Closely related taxa retain a conserved gross tooth morphology, but differ in elemental composition and mechanical properties according to feeding substrate. Rock‐associated taxa show increased Ca–Si enrichment and higher stiffness and hardness, especially in the central radular region ...

Background Lake Tanganyika belongs to the East African Great Lakes and is well known for harbouring a high proportion of endemic and morphologically distinct genera, in cichlids but also in paludomid gastropods.
