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 …

In ephemeral habitats, the same genotypes cope with unpredictable environmental
conditions, favouring the evolution of developmental plasticity and alternative life‐history …

Many populations have consistently biased adult sex ratios with important demographic and
evolutionary consequences. However, geographical variation, the mechanisms, temporal …

Temporary aquatic habitats are common in arid and semiarid ecosystems across the globe.
They are an especially harsh and challenging environment for aquatic organisms, and this …

Resveratrol is reported as having neuroprotective properties, however, much of this
reputation has come from research using disease and injury models of neurodegeneration …

Background Interspecific reproductive isolation is typically achieved by a combination of
intrinsic and extrinsic barriers. Behavioural isolating barriers between sympatric, closely …

Organisms inhabiting unpredictable environments often evolve diversified reproductive bet‐
hedging strategies, expressed as production of multiple offspring phenotypes, thereby …

The present study was conducted to examine, for the first time in Nothobranchius furzeri, the
effects of mating in different aged breeders with particular emphasis on reproductive fitness …

Studies on parental aging are a very attractive field, although it is poorly understood how
parental age affects embryonic development and adult traits of the offspring. In this study, we …

Intersexual differences in life span (age at death) and aging (increase in mortality risk
associated with functional deterioration) are widespread among animals, from nematodes to …
