First assessment of the field ecology of larval Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) [PDF]
The Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) is extremely abundant in estuaries in eastern North America, is a significant component of food webs, and is the subject of many laboratory studies; however, the ecology of the larvae of this species in estuaries is poorly known.

Mercury bioaccumulation increases with latitude in a coastal marine fish (Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia). [PDF]
Human exposure to the neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) occurs primarily via the consumption of marine fish, but the processes underlying large-scale spatial variations in fish MeHg concentrations [MeHg], which influence human exposure, are not ...

Evidence for Countergradient Growth Adaptation and Jordan's Rule in a Southern Hemisphere Fish, the Atherinopsid <i>Odontesthes regia</i>. [PDF]
We performed common garden experiments on offspring of the sea silverside Odontesthes regia to characterize thermal growth reaction norms of different populations along the Chilean coast. This showed that the species exhibits local adaptation in the form of countergradient growth adaptation because higher‐latitude southern populations grew faster at ...

Regional differentiation and post-glacial expansion of the Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia, an annual fish with high dispersal potential. [PDF]
The coastal marine environment of the Northwest Atlantic contains strong environmental gradients that create distinct marine biogeographic provinces by limiting dispersal, recruitment, and survival.

Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs. [PDF]
Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

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]
ABSTRACT 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]
Abstract 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 ...

The mitogenome of the California grunion (Leuresthes tenuis)
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]
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 ...
