Dispersal of larval and juvenile seabream: Implications for Mediterranean marine protected areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In the marine context, information about dispersal is essential for the design of networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). Generally, most of the dispersal of demersal fishes is thought to be driven by the transport of eggs and larvae in currents, with

Otolith morphology as a tool for stock discrimination of three rockfish species in the East Sea of Korea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The shape and structure of otoliths play a vital role in studying fish populations because otolith shape indices are often applied to discriminate fish species.

Linear Self-Motion Cues Support the Spatial Distribution and Stability of Hippocampal Place Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The vestibular system provides a crucial component of place-cell and head-direction cell activity [1-7]. Otolith signals are necessary for head-direction signal stability and associated behavior [8, 9], and the head-direction signal's contribution to ...

Otolith Shape Analysis and Otolith Morphometry of Bogue Boops boops (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Aegean Sea and the Marmara Sea

open access: yesÇanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries
In the present study, otolith shape indices and some otolith morphometric characteristics in the left and right sagittal otoliths were identified and compared for Boops boops in the Aegean Sea and the Marmara Sea.

An approach to unraveling the coexistence of snappers (Lutjanidae) using otolith morphology

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2014
The sagittae otolith morphology of marine fishes has been used in many ecomorphological studies to explain certain ecological adaptations of species to habitat. Our study compares the sagittal otolith shapes of ten species of snappers (Family Lutjanidae)

Otolith Morphometric and Shape Distinction of Three Redfin Species under the Genus Decapterus (Teleostei: Carangidae) from Sulu Sea, Philippines

open access: yesFishes, 2023
Otoliths are paired calcified structures in the inner ear of teleosts that function in hearing and balance. In this study, the use of otolith morphometrics and shape analysis were explored to delineate the redfin species under the genus Decapterus from ...

Ensembles of wrappers for automated feature selection in fish age classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In feature selection, the most important features must be chosen so as to decrease the number thereof while retaining their discriminatory information. Within this context, a novel feature selection method based on an ensemble of wrappers is proposed and

Development of a dynamic virtual reality model of the inner ear sensory system as a learning and demonstrating tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to keep track of the position and motion of our body in space, nature has given us a fascinating and very ingenious organ, the inner ear. Each inner ear includes five biological sensors - three angular and two linear accelerometers - which ...
