Water hardness influenced variations in reproductive potential of two freshwater fish species; Poecilia reticulata and Betta splendens [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2020 Objective Hardness of water in the form of CaCO3 affects reproductive potential in various fish species, differently. This study evaluates the effect of water hardness on growth and reproduction of two aquarium fishes, Poecilia reticulata (Ovo-viviparous

Evidence for cryptic speciation in directly transmitted Gyrodactylid parasites of Trinidadian guppies [PDF]
, 2015 Cryptic species complexes are common among parasites, which tend to have large populations and are subject to rapid evolution. Such complexes may arise through host-parasite co-evolution and/or host switching.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sexual conflict can result in coercive mating. Because males bear low costs of heterospecific mating, coercive males may engage in misdirected mating attempts toward heterospecific females. In contrast, sexual selection through consensual mate choice can

Casanovas are liars : behavioral syndromes, sperm competition risk, and the evolution of deceptive male mating behavior in live-bearing fishes [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]
, 2013 Male reproductive biology can by characterized through competition over mates as well as mate choice. Multiple mating and male mate choice copying, especially in internally fertilizing species, set the stage for increased sperm competition, i.e., sperm ...

Experimental harvesting of fish populations drives genetically based shifts in body size and maturation [PDF]
, 2013 Size-selective harvesting in commercial fisheries can induce rapid changes in biological traits. While experimental and wild harvested populations often exhibit clear shifts in body size and maturation associated with fishing pressure, the relative ...
