Male Strategic Association With Mating Partners Under Varying Social Contexts in a Livebearing Fish
We found that in halfbeaks, a shoaling fish species, males preferentially associated with an opposite sex pair (i.e., a female and a male) over rival males, but showed no preference when choosing between a pair and females. Overall, our data show that males followed informed association strategies that are primarily driven by mating opportunities ...

ABSTRACT In fish, sex determination and gonadal development are controlled by various genetic and environmental factors. In this study, experiments were conducted on the estuarine mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to investigate gonadal differentiation following exposure to the synthetic estrogen, 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2).

This study investigated the behavioral response of common minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus) to repeated exposures of the sample phase of an object location task, and the influence of individual behavioral type on cognitive performance. The group exposed to the most sample trials were the only group that learned the task showing significant discrimination ...

An evaluation of Northern Florida Bay as a nursery area for red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, and other juvenile and small resident fishes. [PDF]
Red drum is one ofthe most popular species sought by anglers in Florida Bay, yet juveniles are rarely encountered. We evaluated Florida Bay as a nursery area for red drum by sampling for recently-settled late larvae in basin areas within the bay with an ...

Global Patterns and Gaps in Research on Salinity Tolerance of Inland Fishes
ABSTRACT Freshwater salinization is an emerging threat impacting approximately one‐third of the world's freshwater bodies. However, the salinity tolerance of many inland fishes remains understudied, despite being a crucial factor in determining species distributions and fitness.

Evidence for inbreeding depression in a species with limited opportunity for maternal effects [PDF]
It is often assumed that mating with close relatives reduces offspring fitness. In such cases, reduced offspring fitness may arise from inbreeding depression (i.e., genetic effects of elevated homozygosity) or from post-mating maternal investment.
