Studies of female mate choice commonly use virgin females as test subjects, either to control
for the effects of mating or because virgin females are presumed to be more responsive to …

Chemical pollutants and/or climate change have the potential to break down reproductive
barriers between species and facilitate hybridization. Hybrid zones may arise in response to …

Conservation of endangered or economic fish and control of invasive fish is a great
challenge of hydraulic engineering worldwide. Flow velocity has been recognized to affect …

Increased turbidity due to Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) contamination has been reported in
several water bodies. However, the impact of POME-derived turbidity on the reproductive …

Dam operations considerably influence water temperature regimes in rivers, which affects
fish spawning activities. Previous studies have focused on the effects of critical temperature …

Simple Summary The reproductive processes of fish are known to be sensitive to water
temperatures. However, the mechanism by which altered water temperature by river …

Abstract “Bartram's Bass” Micropterus sp. cf. coosae is endemic to the upper Savannah
River basin of the southeastern United States and is threatened by hybridization with …

Field studies of social behaviour are challenging due to the need to record or infer
interactions between multiple individuals, often under suboptimal environmental conditions …

Vision is very important to fish as it is required for foraging food, fighting competitors, fleeing
from predators, and finding potential mates. Vertebrates express opsin genes in …

Unstable hybrid swarms that arise following the introduction of non‐native species can
overwhelm native congeners, yet the stability of invasive hybrid swarms has not been well …
