ECOLOGY OF MENIDIA MENIDIA LARVAE IN TWO TEMPERATE ESTUARINE LITTORAL HABITATS
, 2020 The Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) is one of the numerically most abundant fish species in estuaries along the East Coast of North America, but its ecology during the first two weeks post-hatch has not been described. Therefore ecological investigations into appropriate sampling methods, preferred habitats, feeding ecology and growth of these ...

Conservation Units for Anadromous Arctic Char (<i>Salvelinus alpinus</i>) in the Canadian Arctic Informed by Genetic Structure, Population Connectivity and Adaptive Genomic Variation. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Intraspecific genetic diversity is a crucial aspect of biodiversity conservation as it preserves evolutionary potential and enhances resilience to environmental change. Genomic‐informed delineation of Conservation Units (CUs) offers ways of subdividing species into groups based on demographic independence and adaptive differentiation, to ...

Does tidal marsh restoration lead to the recovery of trophic pathways that support estuarine fishes? [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Evaluation of tidal marsh restoration success is typically based on the recovery of habitat size and target species. However, food‐web structure may provide valuable insight into ecosystem functioning trajectories. Here, we studied restored tidal marshes of different ages (new, young, old; spanning 1–150 years) in comparison with nearby ...

High levels of docosahexaenoic acid are present in eight New World silversides (Pisces: Atherinopsidae) [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2020 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the most critical and least available omega-3 fatty acid in the Western human diet. Currently, the source of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) is mainly dependent on wild fisheries, making this ...

Contemporary Evolution of an At-Risk Stickleback Population During a Severe Drought. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Populations can be granted conservation status because they harbour a set of unique traits, evolutionary histories, or ecological roles. Such populations are often isolated and specialised and, as such, can be particularly vulnerable to environmental disturbances.

The mitogenome of the California grunion (Leuresthes tenuis)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We report the complete mitogenome for the California grunion (Leuresthes tenuis), a beach-spawning silverside fish endemic to eastern Pacific coastal waters of California, USA and Baja California, Mexico.

Retention of elements absorbed by juvenile fish (Menidia menidia, Menidia beryllina) from zooplankton prey [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1994 Radiolabeled copepods (Acartia spp.) were fed to juvenile silversides (Menidia menidia and Menidia beryllina) to study clement absorption in the fish. Copepods were reared from nauplii in the presence of different radiotracers (14C,109Cd, 57Co, 32P,35S,75Se, or 65Zn) and were analyzed for relative concentrations of these elements in their tissue ...

Variable susceptibility and response to estrogenic chemicals in Menidia menidia [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2009 Environmental endocrine disruptors can profoundly impact sex ratios of fish popula- tions, especially if the fish exhibits plasticity in sex determination. The Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia exhibits a genetically based latitudinal cline in numerous traits including temperature- dependent sex determination (TSD), which varies from high thermal ...

Are long-term growth responses to elevated pCO2 sex-specific in fish?
PLoS ONE, 2020 Whether marine fish will grow differently in future high pCO2 environments remains surprisingly uncertain. Long-term and whole-life cycle effects are particularly unknown, because such experiments are logistically challenging, space demanding, exclude ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Capacity to cope with warming temperatures is a key determining factor of species' persistence under global climate change. Many successful invasive species have heightened thermal tolerance relative to their native counterparts, which may provide ...
