Population aspects of Sphoeroides testudineus (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
The Tetraodontidae contains about 184 species (Matsuura, 2014), but recent studies have shown the existence of complex and new species in this fishes (Moura e Castro, 2002; Walker and Bussing, 1996; Amaral et al., 2013; Kottelat et al., 2013 ...

Seascape Connectivity Shapes Genetic and Species β-Diversity in Tropical Reef Fishes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study combines species occurrence data from five reef fish families with genomic SNP data for 19 species. A correlation between genetic and species β‐diversity emerges only in the Western Indian Ocean, where higher genetic β‐diversity and significant isolation by distance at both the population and community levels are detected.

Pufferfish exposure and presumed tetrodotoxicosis in Australian dogs: 372 cases (2007-2018). [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Introduction Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin found in pufferfish that results in the blockade of excitatory conduction and clinical signs including gastrointestinal upset and paralysis. The objectives of this study were to describe the epidemiology of pufferfish exposure and presumed tetrodotoxicosis in dogs, and to determine associations with the ...

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Assessment of a Social Media-Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Record of matured female of Arothron stellatus (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae) from Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture, Japan [PDF]

, 2022
Two specimens of Arothron stellatus (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae) were collected from Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture, Japan (34°58′N, 139°45′E). One of them was recognized as a matured female, 57 cm in total length (TL), because its gonads were large ...

Environmental DNA Reveals the Fish Community Structure Exhibited Instability and Trend of Miniaturization in the Xijiang River Basin of the Guizhou. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Monitoring of fish communities is of great significance for the management and sustainability of river ecosystems. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technology has been demonstrated to be a highly sensitive biomonitoring tool. Nevertheless, it has seldom been tested in mountainous rivers within the geographically complex Karst region.

Divergent evolution among teleost V1r receptor genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
The survival of vertebrate species is dependent on the ability of individuals to adequately interact with each other, a function often mediated by the olfactory system. Diverse olfactory receptor repertoires are used by this system to recognize chemicals.
