Gametic isolation in guppies ( Poecilia reticulata ) [PDF]
Post-mating reproductive isolating mechanisms may be among the earliest reproductive barriers to emerge among incipient species. Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata , populations in the Caroni and Oropouche drainages in Northern Trinidad exhibit marked genetic divergence and provide an ...

ABSTRACT Histopathological studies of infections with the nematode Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015, an intestinal parasite of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), are scarce. The current study describes histopathological changes in the stomach of C. gariepinus infected with P.

ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Tagging Very Small Fish: Two Effective and Low Impact Methods
ABSTRACT Identifying individuals over time and across contexts is essential in many scientific fields. There are a variety of well‐established methods for uniquely marking individuals (e.g., visible implant elastomer, barcodes, paint). However, for some species, life history stages, and/or experiments, existing methods are not sufficient.

Environmental contamination with the synthetic estrogen 17α‐ethinyl estradiol (EE2) is widespread in coastal ecosystems, yet behavioural effects in marine fishes remain poorly understood. We exposed southern crested weedfish (Cristiceps australis) to low and high EE2 concentrations for 14 days and assessed boldness and anxiety using a refuge‐use assay.

Unprotected Waters: When Protection Fails In Freshwater
ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major driver of biodiversity loss in protected areas (PAs), yet their impacts in aquatic environments are less well documented. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of nonnative freshwater fish in federal PAs in Brazil.

Male sexually coercive behaviour drives increased swimming efficiency in female guppies [PDF]
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.
