Microplastics are an emerging and increasingly serious pollutant in freshwater environment,
which have become a threat to freshwater organisms. However, whether microplastics …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) dramatically alters the natural daily cycle of light and may
cause a suite of physiological and behavioral responses of freshwater crustacean Daphnia …

Most animals are visually oriented, and their eyes provide their 'window to the world'. Eye
size correlates positively with visual performance, because larger eyes can house larger …

Brain size, brain architecture, and eye size vary extensively in vertebrates. However, the
extent to which the evolution of these components is intricately connected remains unclear …

Morphological variation is sometimes used as an indicator of environmental stress in
animals. Here, we assessed how multiple morphological traits covaried in Daphnia pulex …

Background Freshwater fish populations are facing multiple stressors, including climate
change, species invasion, and anthropogenic interference. Temporal studies of fish …

Background Organisms with broad distribution ranges, such as fish, often exhibit local
ecological specializations based on their utilization of food and habitat. Populations of …

Inducible morphological defences are crucial for understanding predator–prey interactions.
Such defences have been mostly studied in a single‐predator context, ignoring the fact that …

There exists extensive variation in eye size. Much work has provided a connection between
light availability and differences in eye size across taxa. Experimental tests of the role of the …

The study of the large paraphyletic group of extinct 'palaeoniscoid'fishes has shed light on
the diversity and evolutionary history of basal actinopterygians. However, only a little …
