Gonadal Histology and Spawning Season of Otolithoides pama in the Thanlwin River Estuary

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
The spawning season of Otolithoides pama in the Thanlwin estuary was estimated through gonadosomatic index (GSI) and histological analyses of gonadal development.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Not all offspring are created equal: variation in larval characteristics in a serially spawning damselfish. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The way organisms allocate their resources to growth and reproduction are key attributes differentiating life histories. Many organisms spawn multiple times in a breeding season, but few studies have investigated the impact of serial spawning on ...

Multiple Induced Spawnings of the Indian Catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) within a Prolonged Spawning Season

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, 1998
Abstract Singhi, the Indian catfish Heteropneustes fossilis, attained gonadal maturity repeatedly in a single spawning cycle by photothermal treatment. After the first spawning, maintenance at 30 C and 14 h light/10 h dark for 3 wk induced recruitment of the next batch of mature oocytes for subsequent spawnings.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Ab Initio Multiple Spawning Studies of Hexamethylcyclopentadiene

open access: yes19th International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena, 2014
Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio multiple spawning were applied to the ultrafast non-adiabatic dynamics of hexamethylcyclopentadiene. The high level of agreement between experiment and theory associates wavepacket motion with a distinct degree of freedom.

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Seasonal studies of caviar production and the growth rate of the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell, 1822)

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2018
Issues of African catfish caviar production organization were studied in the present work. Prospects of all-season African catfish caviar production in recirculating aquaculture system were investigated.
