LA SPERMATOGENÈSE DE POECILIA RETICULATA. II. — LA PRODUCTION SPERMATOGÉNÉTIQUE [PDF]
La production spermatogénétique de Poecilia reticulata est de 36 spermatozeugmes par jour soit environ 750 000 spermatozoïdes. Dans cette espèce, le canal testiculaire apparaît comme un véritable organe de stockage desspermatozoïdes qui n'assure pas une élimination régulière des spermatozeugmes ce qui conduit à une grande hétérogénéité dans l'âge des ...

Sexual selection and reproductive success in mesocosm populations of African annual killifish
Abstract Variation in individuals’ ability to obtain mates generates sexual selection, which typically acts more strongly on males and can produce pronounced differences in phenotypes between the sexes (i.e., sexual dimorphism). The dynamic of sexual selection and individual reproductive success is considerably affected by the availability of ...

'Selfish herds' of guppies follow complex movement rules, but not when information is limited [PDF]
Under the threat of predation, animals can decrease their level of risk by moving towards other individuals to form compact groups. A significant body of theoretical work has proposed multiple movement rules, varying in complexity, which might underlie ...

Sequencing and characterization of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) transcriptome [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing is providing researchers with a relatively fast and affordable option for developing genomic resources for organisms that are not among the traditional genetic models. Here we present a de novo assembly of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) transcriptome using 454 sequence reads, and we evaluate potential uses of this ...

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

Efficacy of Honey on Sex Reversal of Guppy (Poecilia reticulata Peters)
This study was performed to determine effectiveness of honey on sex reversal of guppy. Guppy broodstock was dipped on 1 L of water containing 0, 20, 40 or 60 mL of honey, for 10 hours.

The use of in vitro (fish cell lines) is a cost-effective, very rapid, and informative tool for toxicological assessments. Using the neutral red (NR) assay, we compared the in vitro acute toxicity (20hEC50) of twenty-six chemical substances on a rainbow ...

Short‐term performance responses of an intertidal fish to sedimentation and warming
Abstract Climate change is altering coastal ecosystems by causing environmental fluctuations, such as increases in temperature and turbidity, which pose major implications for fish physiology and behaviour. Increases in temperature affect fish food intake, swimming capacity and oxygen delivery, while increases in turbidity can impair or enhance prey ...

ABSTRACT Paracamallanus cyathopharynx (Baylis, 1923) specimens were collected from the rectum of the African sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus in Lake Heritage, Crocodile River in the Limpopo River system and in the Vaal River below the Vaal Dam. Attached and unattached parasites were studied with light and scanning electron microscopy along with ...
