Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Barriers can profoundly alter the composition of stream communities. In the tropical island of Sulawesi, streams are inhabited by a diversity of secondary freshwater fishes, mostly diadromous species. Many streams, however, are modified by human activities for various reasons, involving the construction of barriers that impede fish migration ...

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2962-2973, November 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sensitive periods, in which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early in ontogeny. Yet, they may also occur at later ontogenetic stages, such as adolescence.
