African annual fishes from the genus Nothobranchius are small teleosts that inhabit
temporary water bodies subject to annual desiccation due to the alternation of the monsoon …

The killifish Nothobranchius furzeri is the shortest-lived vertebrate that can be bred in the
laboratory. Its rapid growth, early sexual maturation, fast aging, and arrested embryonic …

Annual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius inhabit ephemeral habitats in Eastern and
Southeastern Africa. Their life cycle is characterized by very rapid maturation, a posthatch …

Whereas living representatives of Pseudosuchia, crocodylians, number fewer than 30
species, more than 700 pseudosuchian species are known from their 250-million-year fossil …

The inland waters of Eastern Africa are known internationally for their high levels of species
richness and endemism, with the Lake Victoria Basin being specifically recognised in this …

Homomorphic sex chromosomes and their turnover are common in teleosts. We investigated
the evolution of nascent sex chromosomes in several populations of two sister species of …

Phenotypic plasticity can be adaptive in fluctuating environments by providing rapid
environment–phenotype matching and this applies particularly in seasonal environments …

Satellite DNA (satDNA) is a rapidly evolving class of tandem repeats, with some monomers
being involved in centromere organization and function. To identify repeats associated with …

This book is the first to give a complete overview of the current knowledge of annual fishes,
covering their life cycle, reproductive biology, evolutionary ecology, reproductive behavior …

Aim We compared the genetic variability and phylogeographical structure of three sympatric
clades of annual killifishes (the Nothobranchius furzeri complex, N. orthonotus complex and …
