The development of behaviours that are relevant to larval dispersal of marine, demersal
fishes is poorly understood. This review focuses on recent work that attempts to quantify the …

The bleak Alburnus alburnus is a medium body-size leuciscid fish that is naturally distributed
across central European and western Asian fresh waters. However, during the last two …

Residing within the immense diversity of fishes on earth is an equally impressive array of
locomotor abilities. Some fish continuously swim virtually their entire lives; some move …

Fish inhabit environments greatly varying in intensity of water velocity, and these flow
regimes are generally believed to be of major evolutionary significance. To what extent does …

Differences in predation intensity experienced by organisms can lead to divergent natural
selection, driving evolutionary change. Western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) exhibit …

Most demersal fishes undergo a dispersal phase as larvae, which strongly influences the
connectivity among adult populations and, consequently, their genetic structure and …

The objectives of this manual of recommended practices (MRP) are to summarize
appropriate methods for modelling physical–biological interactions during the early life of …

A predictive model of the fate of coral reef fish larvae in a reef system is proposed that
combines the oceanographic processes of advection and turbulent diffusion with the …

We present a phylogenetic analysis with divergence time estimates, and an
ecomorphological assessment of the role of the benthic-to-pelagic axis of diversification in …

Marine habitats vary widely in structure, from incredibly complex coral reefs to simpler deep
water and open ocean habitats. Hydromechanical models of swimming kinematics and …
