Identification of a New Mullet Species Complex Based on an Integrative Molecular and Cytogenetic Investigation of Mugil hospes (Mugilidae: Mugiliformes) [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Mullets are very common fishes included in the family Mugilidae, (Mugiliformes), which are characterized by both a remarkably uniform external morphology and internal anatomy.

Does any fish scale of a fish have the same number of marks? A case study for two Mugilidae species. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract This study evaluates the difference in growth marks in scales from nine body areas of two Mugilidae species from the Gulf of Mexico: Mugil curema and Mugil cephalus. It addresses whether the different body areas show more (or fewer) marks, and which area(s) would be more useful in fish biology studies relying on mark analysis.

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

A new species of Rhipidocotyle Diesing, 1858 (Trematoda: Bucephalidae) infecting leerfish, Lichia amia (L.) (Teleostei: Carangidae), and the first complete life-cycle for a marine trematode from Southern Africa [PDF]
ParasitologyWe present the first elucidated marine trematode life-cycle for southern Africa, involving intermediate and definitive hosts from the southwestern Indian Ocean, through southern South Africa and to the southeastern Atlantic Ocean in Namibia.

Geographic Patterns of Intra- and Interspecific Diversity of Riverine Fish Species in the Italian Northern Apennines and Ligurian Alps. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the suitability of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to identify inter‐ and intraspecific diversity patterns of riverine fish populations across the Adriatic and Ligurian drainage basins in Northern Italy. Our results revealed genetic as well as community differentiations, with the Adriatic side displaying higher taxon richness ...

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.
