BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Parental care, while increasing parental fitness through offspring survival, also bears cost to the care-giving parent. Consequentially, trade offs between parental care and other vitally important traits, such as the immune system seem ...

Electroreception in marine fishes: chondrichthyans [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2019 AbstractElectroreception in marine fishes occurs across a variety of taxa and is best understood in the chondrichthyans (sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras). Here, we present an up‐to‐date review of what is known about the biology of passive electroreception and we consider how electroreceptive fishes might respond to electric and magnetic stimuli in ...

DNA barcoding and misidentification of some marine fish species in Nigerian industrial trawl fishery
Scientific African, 2023 Identification of marine fishes across their geographical distribution is based primarily on morphological features. The ability of marine fishes to adapt to environmental changes sometimes leads to morphological differences that might give rise to wrong

Evidence of unidirectional gene flow in a fragmented population of Salmo trutta L.
Scientific Reports, 2021 Selection, genetic drift, and gene flow affect genetic variation within populations and genetic differences among populations. Both drift and selection tend to decrease variation within populations and increase differences among populations, whereas gene

Biology, 2021 Size-selective mortality is common in fish stocks. Positive size-selection happens in fisheries where larger size classes are preferentially targeted while gape-limited natural predation may cause negative size-selection for smaller size classes. As body

Skin Mucus of Marine Fish as a Source for the Development of Antimicrobial Agents
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Fish skin mucus is an important component of the innate immune mechanism and provides a first barrier against pathogens. Although several studies investigated and demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of skin mucus of fishes, most of them tested ...
