Spread of Amazonian Freshwater Fishes Beyond Their Native Ranges
ABSTRACT The spread and establishment of Amazonian species outside their native ranges through activities such as sport fishing, aquaculture, and the ornamental fish industry may lead to ecological changes in recipient ecosystems. We investigated the global distribution of Amazonian freshwater fish (AFF) and conducted a case study in the upper Paraná ...

ABSTRACT Aim The isolated nature of islands makes them particularly vulnerable to climate change. The freshwater fishes of the Greater Antilles remain understudied and are further threatened by habitat fragmentation and the introduction of exotic invasive species.

Macro‐Hybrid and Micro‐Hybrid of Fish
ABSTRACT This study reviews the progress in fish breeding, focusing on distant hybridization and gynogenesis, and introduces the theory of macro‐hybrid and micro‐hybrid. The macro‐hybrid refers to the allo‐progeny derived from distant hybridization, including the allo‐progenies.

Background Elucidating the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation is a major challenge in natural systems with large quantities of environmental and phenotypic data, mostly because of the scarcity of genomic resources for non-model organisms.

ABSTRACT Barriers can profoundly alter the composition of stream communities. In the tropical island of Sulawesi, streams are inhabited by a diversity of secondary freshwater fishes, mostly diadromous species. Many streams, however, are modified by human activities for various reasons, involving the construction of barriers that impede fish migration ...

Sexual harassment in live-bearing fishes (Poeciliidae): comparing courting and noncourting species [PDF]
Sexual harassment by males has been reported from several live-bearing fishes (Poeciliidae) and has been shown to inflict costs on females. For example, poeciliid females have reduced feeding opportunities when accompanied by a male because females ...

Abstract Coercive mating is a sexual selection strategy that is likely to influence female cognition. Female harassment levels have been linked to altered brain gene expression patterns and brain size evolution, suggesting females may respond to coercive mating by investing energy into “outsmarting” males.
