Studies of local adaptation provide important insights into the power of natural selection
relative to gene flow and other evolutionary forces. They are a paradigm for testing …

A great deal of information is known regarding the process of sex differentiation in fish, and
the mechanisms involved in primary sex determination are now beginning to be defined. A …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Recent decades have witnessed an explosion of theoretical and empirical studies of sex
allocation, transforming how we understand the allocation of resources to male and female …

Conditions fish encounter during embryogenesis and early life history can leave lasting
effects not only on morphology, but also on growth rate, life‐history and behavioural traits …

In recent years, a number of man-made chemicals have been shown to be able to mimic
endogenous hormones, and it has been hypothesized that alterations in the normal pattern …

Background In gonochoristic vertebrates, sex determination mechanisms can be classified
as genotypic (GSD) or temperature-dependent (TSD). Some cases of TSD in fish have been …

In many species of cultured finfish, females exhibit higher growth rates than males and attain
larger sizes. In addition, in some species, males mature before reaching marketable size …

How do organisms adapt to the differences in temperature and length of the growing season
that occur with latitude? Among Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia) along the east coast …
