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 ...

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.

Natural and synthetic microfibers alter growth and behavior in early life stages of estuarine organisms

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Increasing shares of microfibers are being detected in environmental samples and a closer look to identify the risk associated with them using ecologically relevant endpoints, especially at sensitive early life stages, is needed.

Trophic transfer of microplastics in an estuarine food chain and the effects of a sorbed legacy pollutant

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2020
Microplastics are of increasing concern as they are readily ingested by aquatic organisms. This study investigated microplastic trophic transfer using larval inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) (5 d posthatch) and unicellular tintinnid (Favella spp ...

A function‐valued trait approach to estimating the genetic basis of size at age and its potential role in fisheries‐induced evolution

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
Natural selection is inherently a multivariate phenomenon. The selection pressure on size (natural and artificial) and the age at which selection occurs is likely to induce evolutionary changes in growth rates across the entire life history. However, the

Early Life Exposure to Environmentally Relevant Levels of Endocrine Disruptors Drive Multigenerational and Transgenerational Epigenetic Changes in a Fish Model

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, is a euryhaline fish and a model organism in ecotoxicology. We previously showed that exposure to picomolar (ng/L) levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cause a variety of effects in M.

Resource partitioning by Menidia menidia and Menidia beryllina (Osteichthyes: Atherinidae)

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1984
Etude du chevauchement de la niche ecologique et du partage des ressources chez ces deux especes dans deux estuaires du Rhode Island. Au cours du printemps, le chevauchement est presque total; il diminue au cours de l'ete et de l'automne.

Intraspecific comparisons of metal bioaccumulation in the juvenile Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia [PDF]

Aquatic Biology, 2010
We experimentally assessed the uptake, loss and resulting tissue distribution of Am, Cd, inorganic Hg(II), methylmercury (MeHg), Se and Zn in 2 North American populations (Nova Scotia and South Carolina) of juvenile Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia from aqueous and dietary sources using a radiotracer technique.
