Environmental-related variation of stoichiometric traits in body and organs of non-native sailfin catfishes Pterygoplichthys spp. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We found sailfin catfishes can exhibit considerable variation in stoichiometric traits in response to the environmental dynamics of the invaded rivers. Water chemistry contributed to the most of variation of stoichiometric traits of sailfin catfishes.

Fish Diversity and Environmental Relationships in the Jinsha River During the Initial Phases of the 10-Year Fishing Ban: A Metabarcoding Approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing eDNA metabarcoding, we identified 61 fish species in the Jinsha river during the early stage of the Yangtze river fishing ban. Fish diversity showed seasonal and regional variation, with Cypriniformes as the dominant group. Key environmental factors like temperature and dissolved oxygen were closely linked to diversity patterns.

From scales to armor: Scale losses and trunk bony plate gains in ray-finned fishes. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2021 Abstract Actinopterygians (ray‐finned fishes) are the most diversified group of vertebrates and are characterized by a variety of protective structures covering their integument, the evolution of which has intrigued biologists for decades. Paleontological records showed that the first mineralized vertebrate skeleton was composed of dermal bony plates ...

Risk Assessment Model System for Aquatic Animal Introduction Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The spread of invasive species (IS) has the potential to upset ecosystem balances. In extreme cases, this can hinder economical utilization of both aquatic (fisheries) and terrestrial (agricultural) systems.
