Phylogenetic informativeness reconciles ray-finned fish molecular divergence times [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Discordance among individual molecular age estimates, or between molecular age estimates and the fossil record, is observed in many clades across the Tree of Life. This discordance is attributed to a variety of variables including calibration

Twenty‐three years of PCR‐based seafood authentication assay development: What have we learned?
Abstract Seafood is a prime target for fraudulent activities due to the complexity of its supply chain, high demand, and difficult discrimination among species once morphological characteristics are removed. Instances of seafood fraud are expected to increase due to growing demand.

Abstract Population estimates are required for effective conservation of many rare marine species, but can be difficult to obtain. The critically endangered red handfish (Thymichthys politus) is a coastal anglerfish known only from two fragmented populations in southeast Tasmania, Australia.

At the remote UNESCO Word Heritage Site Te Wāhipounamu, we show that eDNA analysis is a highly sensitive tool with strong potential for biodiversity surveys, which is still limited by the unavailability of local reference data. We hope that by demonstrating the extend of divergence between eDNA and more traditional tools in a real‐life case study of a ...

Inventory and comparison of abundance of parasitic copepods on fish hosts in the western Wadden Sea (North Sea) between 1968 and 2010 [PDF]
A conspicuous part of the parasite fauna of marine fish are ectoparasites, which attach mainly to the fins or gills. The abundant copepods have received much interest due to their negative effects on hosts.

We investigated the gastric evacuation rate (GER) and maintenance ration (MR) for the adult pointhead flounder Cleisthenes pinetorum (77–421 g) at 4°C, 9°C, and 14°C which reflect the bottom, middle, and surface temperatures of their habitat in early summer.

Ribe dubokih mora nastanjuju jedno od najslabije istraženih područja planeta Zemlje. O njihovom ponašanju, prehrani i razmnožavanju vrlo je malo poznato, no usprkos tome, znanstvenici su do danas došli do spoznaje o njihovim osnovnim karakteristikama i ...

Adjustments of fishes to specific conditions in extreme habitats [PDF]
Ribe su najbrojniji kralješnjaci. Nalazimo ih u dubokom moru gdje nema svjetla i gdje je enorman tlak. U polarnim vodama gdje je temperatura vode ispod nula °C.

The singlespot frogfish Antennarius radiosus (Lophiiformes, Antennariidae), a valid member of the ichthyofauna of the Azores [PDF]
The big-eyed frogfish Antennarius radiosus Garman, 1896 is confirmed as a valid record for the Azores. A revision of the historical records confirms three valid species of frogfishes from the Azores (A. radiosus, A. nummifer, Histrio histrio).

Interspecific visual signalling in animals and plants: a functional classification [PDF]
Organisms frequently gain advantages when they engage in signalling with individuals of other species. Here we provide a functionally structured framework of the great variety of interspecific visual signals seen in nature, then describe the different ...
