In coral reef fish, the transition from pelagic larvae to reef-associated juveniles is a complete
metamorphosis in which coordinated physiological, morphological, and behavioural …

This assesses features of otoliths from laboratory‐reared embryos, larvae and juvenile
European chub Squalius cephalus from hatching to 180 days post‐hatching (dph). We …

Fish are ubiquitous in pumped artificial drains but channel maintenance exposes fish to high
flows and predators, and fish communities may experience population‐level threats if they …

Understanding the relationship between intraspecific phenotypic variation and habitat is
fundamentally important to ecology and evolution. However, it is largely unknown whether …

An otolith shape and morphometric analysis was performed on European eel (Anguilla
anguilla) subpopulations from five rivers and three coastal lagoons of Sardinia (central …

The present work aimed to record the first presence of abnormal age rings in Cathorops
spixii lapillus otoliths from Cananeia-Iguape Estuarine-Lagoon Complex (CIELC), Southern …

Long-term surveys confirm the rapidity of environmental and biological changes undergone
by endangered species but that also concerned relatively “tolerant” species, especially …

Alterations of natural hydrology in aquatic ecosystems are known to strongly impact the
community composition of different taxa. Surprisingly, literature on the potential influence of …

While otolith shape analysis can provide a valuable tool for discriminating between fish
populations, factors which may influence otolith shape, such as the effect of size, directional …

Anthropogenic modifications to freshwater ecosystems have significantly altered rivers
through the construction of dams, weirs, culverts, gates and structures with water intakes …
