Molecular and Biological Characterization of a Cryptosporidium molnari-Like Isolate from a Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) [PDF]
, 2004 Histological, morphological, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses of a Cryptosporidium molnari-like isolate from a guppy (Poecilia reticulata) identified stages consistent with those of C. molnari and revealed that C.

Male sexually coercive behaviour drives increased swimming efficiency in female guppies [PDF]
, 2015 Sexual coercion of females by males is widespread across sexually reproducing species. It stems from a conflict of interest over reproduction and exerts selective pressure on both sexes.

Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

A Comparison of the Trojan Y Chromosome Strategy to Harvesting Models for Eradication of Non-Native Species [PDF]
, 2019 The Trojan Y Chromosome Strategy (TYC) is a promising eradication method for biological control of non-native species. The strategy works by manipulating the sex ratio of a population through the introduction of \textit{supermales} that guarantee male ...

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Fish Space Use and Behavior in an Aquarium: The Use of Microhabitats as Enrichment
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.The inclusion of microhabitats in a stream tank serves as environmental enrichment for fish in human care. ABSTRACT Environmental enrichment is an important tool to maintain the health and well‐being of animals in human care, but studies of environmental enrichment for fish in human care have lagged behind those of land animals.
