Genetic diversity and population structure of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) across its distributional range [PDF]
, 2016 Lampreys are a group of ancient vertebrates with 360 million years of existence. Throughout their evolution, they have acquired local adaptations to the colonized habitats, showing high plasticity and adaptive capacities.

Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.In the giant Pleurodeles waltl genome, introns serve as “structural buffers,” absorbing transposable elements (TEs) to protect coding exons. While this enables “gene body inflation,” persistent TE accumulation eventually leads to transcriptional silencing and functional collapse, or “burst,” of the gene architecture.

Neuronal Control of Swimming Behavior: Comparison of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Model Systems [PDF]
, 2011 Swimming movements in the leech and lamprey are highly analogous, and lack homology. Thus, similarities in mechanisms must arise from convergent evolution rather than from common ancestry.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Mediterranean basin is a hotspot of freshwater endemisms and restricted‐range species, which are among the most threatened worldwide. The Adriatic brook lamprey Lampetra zanandreai is a non‐parasitic, freshwater‐resident lamprey whose core distribution lies in the Po River basin (Northern Italy).

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Habitat destruction is a global driver of biodiversity loss. In rivers, damming and river regulation for hydropower have caused extensive loss of high gradient, riffle, rapid and waterfall habitats. Restoring these habitats, which support unique biodiversity, should be an urgent priority, but inadequate documentation hampers evaluation of ...

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 2, Page 694-706, February 2026.Abstract Lake whitefish are a cold‐water species that holds cultural and economic importance throughout the Great Lakes region. Anthropogenic stressors over the last 60 years (e.g., invasive species, habitat degradation, and pollution) have caused significant declines in their populations.

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 40-59, January 2026.ABSTRACT The upstream migration of juvenile American eels (Anguilla rostrata) is frequently obstructed by dams and other in‐stream barriers, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation, factors that are believed to contribute to the species' population decline.

Morphology and Spectral Absorption Characteristics of Retinal Photoreceptors in the Southern Hemisphere Lamprey (Geotria australis) [PDF]
, 2003 The morphology and spectral absorption characteristics of the retinal photoreceptors in the southern hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis (Agnatha) were studied using light and electron microscopy and microspectrophotometry.
