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 ...

Aerial Jumping in the Trinidadian Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

PLoS ONE, 2013
Many fishes are able to jump out of the water and launch themselves into the air. Such behavior has been connected with prey capture, migration and predator avoidance. We found that jumping behavior of the guppy Poecilia reticulata is not associated with any of the above.

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.

Turbidity influences individual and group level responses to predation in guppies, Poecilia reticulata [PDF]

, 2015
© 2015 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Increasing turbidity (either sedimentary or organic) from anthropogenic sources has significant negative impacts on aquatic fauna, both directly and indirectly by disrupting behaviour.

Eficiência de peixes nativos brasileiros como predadores de larvas de mosquitos

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2017
Peixes são uma alternativa no controle biológico de mosquitos. Algumas espécies são comprovadamente eficientes em muitos paí­­ses, porém não são nativas brasileiras. Espécies brasileiras podem ser larvófagas, porém há carência de informações.

Parasites alter host community structure in a natural experiment

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Parasites can alter host communities in complex ways, but empirical data from natural systems are rare. This study decomposes the effects of an invasive parasite on natural communities of fish in Trinidad, revealing the direct, indirect, and context dependence of the invasion on host demographic rates and community structure.

Getting into hot water:sick guppies frequent warmer thermal conditions [PDF]

, 2016
Ectotherms depend on the environmental temperature for thermoregulation and exploit thermal regimes that optimise physiological functioning. They may also frequent warmer conditions to up-regulate their immune response against parasite infection and/or ...

Laterality enhances numerical skills in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
It has been hypothesized that cerebral lateralization can significantly enhance cognition and that this was one of the primary selective forces shaping its wide-spread evolution amongst vertebrate taxa. Here, we tested this hypothesis by examining the link between cerebral lateralization and numerical discrimination.
