The Impacts of Pregnancy on Cognition and Cell Proliferation in a Live-Bearing Fish (Poeciliopsis gracilis). [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Neurosci
We assessed the impact of pregnancy on cognition and cell proliferation in the live‐bearing fish Poeciliopsis gracilis. Pregnant females showed reduced spatial learning but unchanged reversal learning, alongside decreased cell proliferation in the olfactory bulb and ventral telencephalon, indicating pregnancy‐induced cognitive and neural changes in a ...

Diurnal Changes in Hypoxia Shape Predator-Prey Interaction in a Bird-Fish System

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Animals often face changing environments, and behavioral flexibility allows them to rapidly and adaptively respond to abiotic factors that vary more or less regularly.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Variable Platyfish Xiphophorus variatus

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Variable Platyfish, Xiphophorus variatus (Meek 1904) (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae). The genome consists of 16,624 bp which encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal ...

New Genome Assemblies for Poeciliidae: A Foundation for Adaptation Studies. [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biol Evol
Abstract Multiple lineages in the family Poeciliidae have independently adapted to hydrogen-sulfide-rich springs. The independent colonizations of such springs mean that there are naturally replicated lineages that provide a powerful model for studying adaptation and convergent evolution.

High Degree of Multiple Paternity and Reproductive Skew in the Highly Fecund Live-Bearing Fish Poecilia gillii (Family Poeciliidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Multiple paternity is a common phenomenon within the live-bearing fish family Poeciliidae. There is a great variety in brood sizes of at least two orders-of-magnitude across the family.

Pantanodontidae (Teleostei, Cyprinodontiformes), the sister group to all other cyprinodontoid killifishes as inferred by molecular data

open access: yesZoosystematics and Evolution, 2018
Pantanodon, containing two African extant species and four European fossil species, for a long time had an uncertain position among the Cyprinodontiformes due to its peculiar morphology. In the last decades, Pantanodon has been considered closely related
