Improvements to the Gulf pipefish Syngnathus scovelli genome [PDF]

GigaByte, 2023
The Gulf pipefish Syngnathus scovelli has emerged as an important species for studying sexual selection, development, and physiology. Comparative evolutionary genomics research involving fishes from Syngnathidae depends on having a high ...

Parent‐Specific Transgenerational Immune Priming Enhances Offspring Defense—Unless Heat Stress Negates It All [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) adjusts offspring's immune responses based on parental immunological experiences. It is predicted to be adaptive when parent–offspring environmental conditions match, while mismatches negate those advantages ...

Egg size evolution and paternal care in pipefishes. [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
In this thesis I explore how sexual selection, sexual conflicts, coevolution with parental care and an environmental selective agent (hypoxia) affect the evolution of different egg characteristics and embryo survival and size in pipefishes (Syngnathidae).

Optimizing seagrass planting arrangements for animal benefits in a multihabitat restoration seascape. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Restoring lost and degraded ecosystems to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services is a global priority, and animal responses to the restoration of habitats are a critical but undervalued component. Identifying the key drivers of animal colonization in restored habitats provides critical insights for restoration practitioners seeking to ...

Pelagic Larval Duration and Isolation by Distance in Coastal Species. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Dispersal among populations is crucial both for demographic stability and for the evolutionary potential of species. In marine organisms, dispersal has been shown to be prevalent during pelagic early life stages. Consequently, pelagic larval duration (PLD) has been proposed as an important driver of gene flow in marine species and is ...

Biomimetic Active Stereo Camera System with Variable FOV [PDF]

Biomimetics
Inspired by the biological eye movements of fish such as pipefish and sandlances, this paper presents a novel dynamic calibration method specifically for active stereo vision systems to address the challenges of active cameras with varying fields of view

Characterization of Pipefish Immune Cell Populations Through Single-Cell Transcriptomics

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Teleost adaptive immune systems have evolved with more flexibility than previously assumed. A particularly enigmatic system to address immune system modifications in the evolutionary past is represented by the Syngnathids, the family of pipefishes ...

First record of winter pregnant males of two pipefish species in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Syngnathus abaster Risso, 1827 and Syngnathus typhle L., 1758 are key components of fish assemblages in European transitional waters, with well‐documented reproductive cycles typically occurring from spring to autumn. However, recent warming trends in the western Mediterranean has raised questions about potential shifts in their breeding ...

Genome rearrangements, male pregnancy and immunological tolerance – the curious case of the syngnathid immune system

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The syngnathid fish group (seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons) is a fascinating lineage associated with an array of evolutionary peculiarities that include diverse morphologies and their unique male pregnancy. These oddities also extend to their immune
