Convergent Evolutionary Dead-End and Breakdown of Hard Chorion in Parental-Egg-Care Fish Reproductive Strategies. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Fish exhibit a diverse array of reproductive strategies adapted to various ecological niches. Parental egg‐care, including live‐bearing, mouth‐brooding, and male egg protection by brood pouches, represents an effective strategy for ensuring larval survival and has emerged independently in multiple lineages.

A revision of Plectanocotyle (Monogenea, Plectanocotylidae), with molecular barcoding of three species and the description of a new species from the streaked gurnard Chelidonichthys lastoviza off Algeria [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background The family Plectanocotylidae includes parasites of the gills of marine fish; although nine genera and about 20 species have been described, almost no molecular information is available.

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

The Metapopulation Bridge to Macroevolutionary Speciation Rates: A Conceptual Framework and Empirical Test. [PDF]
Ecol LettCan metapopulation persistence predict speciation rates? Here, we provide a new framework and apply it to 40 years of fish metacommunity data to test this hypothesized bridge between micro‐ and macroevolution. ABSTRACT Whether large‐scale variation in lineage diversification rates can be predicted by species properties at the population level is a key ...

The Influence of Habitat Heterogeneity and Human Disturbance on Trophic Interactions of <i>Sebastiscus marmoratus</i> and <i>Scorpaenopsis cirrosa</i> in Wanshan Archipelago. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigates how habitat heterogeneity and human activity shape trophic interactions between two scorpionfish species (Sebastiscus marmoratus and Scorpaenopsis cirrosa) in China's Wanshan Archipelago. Stable isotope analysis revealed regional shifts in their diets (e.g., annelids to mollusks) and broader niche use by S.

The First Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Flathead Cociella crocodilus (Scorpaeniformes: Platycephalidae) and the Phylogenetic Relationships within Scorpaeniformes Based on Whole Mitogenomes. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2019 Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are important molecular markers for understanding the phylogenetics of various species. Although recent studies on the mitogenomes of the Scorpaeniformes species have been greatly advanced, information regarding molecular studies and the taxonomic localization of Platycephalidae is still sparse.
