Convergent evolution of coloration in experimental introductions of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite the multitude of examples of evolution in action, relatively fewer studies have taken a replicated approach to understand the repeatability of evolution.

Sexual Dimorphism in Fin Size and Shape in Bluefin Killifish

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study shows very high levels of sexual dimorphism in dorsal and anal fin traits compared to other fins. Dorsal and anal fin traits are also correlated, such that individuals with large dorsal fins also have large anal fins. Together, this suggests strong sexual selection on these functionally integrated traits.

Uso de la técnica de diafanización para el estudio del desarrollo óseo de Poecilia sphenops (Pisces: Cyprinodontiformes)

open access: yesManglar
Los estudios osteológicos en peces generalmente se han centrado en regiones específicas del esqueleto, sin considerar la descripción de todo el organismo, siendo la familia Poeciliidae muy poco estudiada; por el cual el objetivo del presente trabajo fue ...

Diversity and Spatiotemporal Distribution of Fish in a Highland Lake in China Based on Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We analyzed water samples from different seasons and locations in Erhai Lake to determine whether eDNA barcoding can effectively show the diversity of fish in such lakes. In the manuscript, we discuss our findings regarding the range of species found, their spatiotemporal distribution, and whether eDNA barcoding gave similar results to traditional ...

Viviparity Stimulates Diversification in an Order of Fish

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceSpecies richness is distributed unevenly across the tree of life and this may be influenced by the evolution of novel phenotypes that promote diversification.

The genome of the live-bearing fish Heterandria formosa implicates a role of conserved vertebrate genes in the evolution of placental fish

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The evolution of complex organs is thought to occur via a stepwise process, each subsequent step increasing the organ’s complexity by a tiny amount. This evolutionary process can be studied by comparing closely related species that vary in the

Checklist of the continental fishes of the state of Chiapas, Mexico, and their distribution

open access: yesZooKeys, 2016
An updated checklist of the distribution of fishes that inhabit the continental waters of the Mexican state of Chiapas is presented. The state was compartmentalized into 12 hydrological regions for the purpose of understanding the distribution of fish ...

Field Guide to Nonindigenous Marine Fishes of Florida [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The purpose of this field guide is to provide information on nonindigenous (i.e., non-native) fishes that have been observed in Florida’s marine waters. Introductions of non-native marine fishes into Florida’s waters could be intentional or unintentional,

Does personality affect premating isolation between locally-adapted populations? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: One aspect of premating isolation between diverging, locally-adapted population pairs is female mate choice for resident over alien male phenotypes.

Auxinic herbicides induce oxidative stress on Cnesterodon decemmaculatus (Pisces: Poeciliidae) [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
Pesticides might increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Dicamba (DIC) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) are auxinic herbicides commonly applied in agroecosystems to control unwanted weeds. We analysed the oxidative damage exerted on the fish Cnesterodon decemmaculatus by an acute exposure to DIC- and 2,4-D-based herbicides ...
