Odontoid processes in pipefish jaws [PDF]
Nature, 1975 ABSENCE of jaw teeth of any kind has been considered a familial character in pipefishes (Syngnathidae)1–3, and their feeding mode has generally been described as a picking or sucking process resulting from rapid intake of water through the elongate snout4,5. During systematic studies of Indo-Pacific syngnathids, we have found toothlike processes on the

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Endocrine disruptors have devastating impacts on the reproductive physiology of aquatic organisms. The Gulf pipefish, Syngnathus scovelli, is a sexually dimorphic species, which demonstrates predictable morphological, physiological, behavioral, and ...

Embryo oxygenation in pipefish brood pouches: novel insights [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015 ABSTRACT The pipefish brood pouch presents a unique mode of parental care that enables males to protect, osmoregulate, nourish and oxygenate the developing young. Using a very fine O2 probe, we assessed the extent to which males of the broad-nosed pipefish (Syngnathus typhle) oxygenate the developing embryos and are able to maintain ...

Parasites as biological tags of divergence of black-striped pipefish, Syngnathus abaster (Actinopterygii: Syngnathiformes: Syngnathidae), populations in their natural and acquired range [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2023 The presently reported study was intended to describe the current range of an Atlanto–Mediterranean fish, the black-striped pipefish, Syngnathus abaster Risso, 1827, in Ukrainian waters and to analyze biological tags (size parameters and parasites) of ...

Rapid growth and short life spans characterize pipefish populations in vulnerable seagrass beds [PDF]
, 2016 © 2016 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles. The life-history traits of two species of pipefish (Syngnathidae) from seagrass meadows in New South Wales, Australia, were examined to understand whether they enhance resilience to habitat degradation ...

Tripartite species interaction : eukarotic hosts suffer more from phage susceptible than from phage resistant bacteria [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Evolutionary shifts in bacterial virulence are often associated with a third biological player, for instance temperate phages, that can act as hyperparasites. By integrating as prophages into the bacterial genome they can contribute accessory

Parasites make male pipefish careless [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2004 Abstract Parasite-mediated sexual selection is expected to favour the avoidance of matings with infected individuals. However, the extent to which the costs and benefits of discriminating against parasitized mates trade off may depend upon numerous factors.

Sound signatures and production mechanisms of three species of pipefishes (Family: Syngnathidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Background. Syngnathid fishes produce three kinds of sounds, named click, growl and purr. These sounds are generated by different mechanisms to give a consistent signal pattern or signature which is believed to play a role in intraspecific and ...
