Debunking Arguments in Metaethics and Metaphysics [PDF]

, 2019
Evolutionary debunking arguments abound, but it is widely assumed that they do not arise for our perceptual beliefs about midsized objects, insofar as the adaptive value of our object beliefs cannot be explained without reference to the objects ...

Expression of corticoid‐regulatory genes in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and smolt and during salinity acclimation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...

A comparison of methods for determining ploidy in white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) [PDF]

, 2019
Release of sturgeon with abnormal ploidy into the wild may result in reduced fitness due to lowered fertility in the F2 and subsequent generations. Further, there is evidence that ploidy affects reproductive development and caviar yield.

The key mechanisms associated with the survival of Gulf toadfish, Opsanus beta, when in severe hypoxia

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Florida's shallow seagrass beds experience daily diurnal fluctuations in environmental oxygen, leading to hypoxic episodes (PO2 < 2 mg L−1, ~6 kPa) that have increased in frequency and intensity in recent decades. The native Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) have been shown to employ a suite of adaptive cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic ...

Pollock and Sturgeon on defeaters

Synthese, 2016
Scott Sturgeon has recently challenged Pollock’s account of undercutting defeaters. The challenge involves three primary contentions: (1) the account is both too strong and too weak, (2) undercutting defeaters exercise their power to defeat only in conjunction with higher-order beliefs about the basis of the lower-order beliefs whose justification they

Longest documented coastal migrations of shortnose sturgeon

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The shortnose sturgeon (SNS; Acipenser brevirostrum) is a United States federally endangered diadromous species. Although SNS spend much of their time in riverine habitat, inter‐river migrations have been documented in northern populations.

Reproduction and embryonic development of monkeyface prickleback Cebidichthys violaceus in captivity

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the sequence of embryonic and larval development and the factors necessary to induce reproduction in captivity are critical for developing new species for commercial or conservation aquaculture. In this study, we describe the adult reproductive behaviours and development of eggs, embryos and early larvae of captive monkeyface ...

Human Impacts on Great Lakes Walleye Sander vitreus Structure, Diversity and Local Adaptation

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial propagation and wild release may influence the genetic integrity of wild populations. This practice has been prevalent in fisheries for centuries and is often termed ‘stocking’. In the Laurentian Great Lakes (Great Lakes here‐on), walleye populations faced declines from the 1950s to the 1970s, prompting extensive stocking efforts ...

Comparative study on the effects of different feeding habits and diets on intestinal microbiota in Acipenser baeri Brandt and Huso huso

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri Brandt) and Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) are two important commercial fish in China, and the feeding habits of them are very different.
