Contemporary Evolution of an At-Risk Stickleback Population During a Severe Drought. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT 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.

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 ...

Salinity Alters Toxicity of Commonly Used Pesticides in a Model Euryhaline Fish Species (Menidia beryllina)

Toxics, 2021
Changing salinity in estuaries due to sea level rise and altered rainfall patterns, as a result of climate change, has the potential to influence the interactions of aquatic pollutants as well as to alter their toxicity. From a chemical property point of

Transcriptional flexibility during thermal challenge corresponds with expanded thermal tolerance in an invasive compared to native fish

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 ...

Data from the spawning trial in a study of CO2 and temperature-specific reproductive traits in Menidia menidia

, 2021
Dataset: Spawning TrialThe study examined the temperature- and CO2-specific size and reproductive traits in female Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia) after long-term and whole-life rearing. This dataset includes results from the spawning trial. For

Footprints of local adaptation span hundreds of linked genes in the Atlantic silverside genome

Evolution Letters, 2020
The study of local adaptation in the presence of ongoing gene flow is the study of natural selection in action, revealing the functional genetic diversity most relevant to contemporary pressures.

Preliminary Evidence for the Amplification of Global Warming in Shallow, Intertidal Estuarine Waters. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Over the past 50 years, mean annual water temperature in northeastern U.S. estuaries has increased by approximately 1.2°C, with most of the warming recorded in the winter and early spring.
