Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana [PDF]
Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

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

Detection thresholds of macaque otolith afferents [PDF]
The vestibular system is our sixth sense and is important for spatial perception functions, yet the sensory detection and discrimination properties of vestibular neurons remain relatively unexplored.

Ocean acidification reshapes the otolith-body allometry of growth in juvenile seabream [PDF]
International audienceThe effects of elevated CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) on otolith calcification and on the coupling between the somatic and otolith growth were investigated in juvenile gilthead seabream Sparus aurata.

Otolith shape and size: The importance of age when determining indices for fish-stock separation [PDF]
Stock-separation of highly mobile Clupeids (sprat – Sprattus sprattus and herring – Clupea harengus) using otolith morphometrics was explored. Analysis focused on three stock discrimination problems with the aim of reassigning individual otoliths to ...

The German Bight (North Sea) is a nursery area for both locally and externally produced sprat juveniles [PDF]
To better understand the role of the German Bight (GB) as a nursery area for juvenile North Sea sprat Sprattus sprattus we sought to determine whether the area may receive only locally or also externally produced offspring.

Patterns, causes, and consequences of marine larval dispersal [PDF]
Quantifying the probability of larval exchange among marine populations is key to predicting local population dynamics and optimizing networks of marine protected areas. The pattern of connectivity among populations can be described by the measurement of

The use of otolith morphology to indicate the stock structure of common coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus) on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia [PDF]
We investigated the use of otolith morphology to indicate the stock structure of an exploited serranid coral reef fish, Plectropomus leopardus, on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia.

An allometric smoothing function to describe the relation between otolith and somatic growth over the lifespan of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) [PDF]
We propose a new equation to describe the relation between otolith length (OL) and somatic length (fork length [FL]) of fish for the entire lifespan of the fish.

Classification of time series by shapelet transformation [PDF]
Time-series classification (TSC) problems present a specific challenge for classification algorithms: how to measure similarity between series. A \emph{shapelet} is a time-series subsequence that allows for TSC based on local, phase-independent ...
