Around 2008, an ecosystem shift occurred in the Gulf of Lions, highlighted by considerable
changes in biomass and fish mean weight of its two main small pelagic fish stocks …

Women's capacity for sexual fluidity is at least as interesting a phenomenon from the point of
view of evolutionary biology and behavioral endocrinology as exclusively homosexual …

While sexual dimorphism in immune responses has been documented in other vertebrates,
evidence for a similar phenomenon in fish is lacking. Here, we review the relationship …

Because most emerging human pathogens originate in mammals, many studies aim to
identify host traits that determine the risk of sourcing zoonotic outbreaks. Studies regularly …

Objectives Sexual selection typically centers on bodily and psychological traits. Non-bodily
traits ranging from housing and vehicles through art to social media can, however, influence …

In recent years, biotechnology has had a significant impact on the aquaculture industry,
particularly in the field of breeding. Molecular selection breeding has emerged as a novel …

Reproduction in wild animals can divert limited resources away from immune defense,
resulting in increased parasite burdens. A long-standing prediction of life-history theory …

When hosts have a long coevolutionary history with their parasites, fitness costs of chronic
infection have often been assumed to be negligible. Yet, experimental manipulation of …

According to life-history theory, limited resources can result in trade-offs between costly
physiological functions. Particularly, it can be expected that individuals present lower …

Present study was aimed to assess the effects of different light spectra on reproductive
performance and mRNA expression of some immune and anti-oxidant defense genes in …
