Recent Polygenic Adaptation in Heavily Fished Malawi Cichlids
ABSTRACT Intense fishing pressure can drive rapid evolution in wild populations, yet the underlying genomic mechanisms often remain elusive. Here, we investigate the genomic consequences of five decades of intense harvesting on the cichlid fish Copadichromis mloto in Lake Malombe, Malawi.

Adaptation to warm environments with a fast pace of life in a marine predatory snail
Abstract Understanding how latitudinal temperature variation shapes local adaptation of life‐history strategies is crucial for predicting future responses to warming. Contrasting predictive frameworks explain how growth and other life‐history traits may respond to differing selective pressures across latitude. However, these frameworks have rarely been

Direct and indirect parental exposure to endocrine disruptors and elevated temperature influences gene expression across generations in a euryhaline model fish [PDF]
Aquatic organisms inhabiting polluted waterways face numerous adverse effects, including physiological disruption by endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Little is known about how the temperatures associated with global climate change may influence the

A New Species of Silverside from the Late Miocene of NW Iran [PDF]
The genus Atherina (Atheriniformes, Teleostei) includes five extant brackish and marine species that inhabit the eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea. Several fossil species are known from the Mediterranean and Paratethyan basins. Here we describe a new fossil species, Atherina atropatiensis sp.

Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster

Abstract Drug entry into prisons represents a serious issue for both incarcerated people and prison staff. Although substances enter prisons in many ways, staff drug smuggling represents a consistent problem facing correctional institutions globally. We draw on 131 interviews with correctional officers (COs) working in four Western Canadian prisons to ...

Refining a molecular tool kit to capture tropicalization in Mediterranean marine protected areas
We assess complementarity and trade‐offs between visual census and eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring fish community changes in MPAs. Abstract Tropicalization, the process by which tropical species expand their ranges poleward due to global ocean warming, is a prominent threat to Mediterranean marine ecosystems, challenging their effective management ...

This study addresses the influence of water-level fluctuations on fish distribution at two temporal scales: seasonal (dry and rainy) and interannual (low and high volume conditions).

ABSTRACT Intraspecific genetic diversity is a crucial aspect of biodiversity conservation as it preserves evolutionary potential and enhances resilience to environmental change. Genomic‐informed delineation of Conservation Units (CUs) offers ways of subdividing species into groups based on demographic independence and adaptive differentiation, to ...

ABSTRACT Most of the previously large cod stocks in the North Atlantic are depleted to very low levels. A notable exception has been the Northeast Arctic cod inhabiting the Barents Sea. This cod stock reached a record high level around 2013, but since then has declined sharply, with older fish being fished out and few new recruits entering the stock ...
