The co-evolution of acclimation capacity and thermal performance breadth has been a
contentious issue for decades, and little is known regarding the extent to which acclimation …

Variation in offspring development is expected to be driven by constraints on resource
allocation between growth and maintenance (eg thermoregulation). Rapid post‐natal …

Behavioural plasticity is an advantageous trait for animals living in dynamic environments,
and can be induced through learning. While some behavioural traits are innate, others are …

Life-history trait expression not only depends on the current environmental constraints, but
also on the past ones that shaped traits expressed earlier in life. Such an effect, named carry …

Resource partitioning facilitates the coexistence of sympatric species through spatial,
temporal and/or trophic strategies. Fishes living in the intertidal zone demonstrate highly …

Spatial learning is an important cognitive function found across a multitude of species.
Natural selection can enhance specific cognitive abilities depending on species ecology but …

Larval dispersal and juvenile survival are crucial in determining variation in recruitment,
stock size and adult distribution of commercially important fish. This study investigates the …

This chapter introduces the phylogeographic patterns and historical demography of coastal
fishes of Japan. The author examines the phylogeographic characteristics of Japan, with a …

Populations exposed to sustained differences in predation pressure often diverge in
morphological, behavioural or physiological features. However, predation pressures can …

The complex life histories of demersal fishes are artificially separated into multiple stages
along with changes in morphology and habitat. It is worth exploring whether the phenotypes …
