Acute toxicity of Gammalin 20 to Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Lacepede) [PDF]
, 2003 The impact of acute exposure of Gammalin 20 (an organochlorine pesticide) was investigated in a static bioassay test over a 96-(4-day) period on the fingerlings of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (lacepede).

ADAMTS9, a member of the ADAMTS family, in Xenopus development [PDF]
, 2018 Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by metalloproteinases is crucial during development. The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin type I motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Four new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina are described from mountain ranges in the Grande River drainage, upper Paraná River basin, based on morphological and molecular species delimitation methods. Molecular analyses based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) marker recovered Pareiorhina as polyphyletic ...

Ontogeny of melanophore photosensitivity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Biology Open, 2014 Migratory species experience morphological and physiological changes during transitions between different life stages. In particular, modification of sensory systems is critical for animals to adapt to new environments.

Dynamic colour change predicts movement behaviour in a diadromous fish
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dynamic changes in colour and pattern facilitate key behavioural functions in animals, particularly camouflage for predator avoidance. However, the benefits of colour change depend on the environmental and behavioural contexts. We tested how colour change interacts with movement behaviour in a freshwater fish by filming individuals in an open ...

Black and White: Structural and Functional Aspects of Dermal Chromatophores of the Marbled Whiptail Lizard (Cnemidophorus Marmoratus) [PDF]
, 2004 The skin of reptiles is a complex organ with many sensory, regulatory and behavioral functions. Desert reptiles face a suite of challenges as their skin contacts hot-dry environmental surfaces.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract This study reports three cases of pigmentation disorders in Squalus acanthias from the Gulf of Venice. Two specimens exhibited spotless phenotypes, whereas one exhibited hypermelanism. Morphological assessments were conducted for two individuals, alongside genetic analysis of mitochondrial genes to determine phylogeographic relationships. Both
