Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have been extensively applied to genetics and
breeding in the aquaculture industry. To date, many aquaculture animal genomes have …

Seahorses have a circum-global distribution in tropical to temperate coastal waters. Yet,
seahorses show many adaptations for a sedentary, cryptic lifestyle: they require specific …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

Teleost fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates and provide opportunities to study the
evolution of sex determination (SD) systems. Using genomic and functional analyses, we …

The iconic phenotype of seadragons includes leaf-like appendages, a toothless tubular
mouth, and male pregnancy involving incubation of fertilized eggs on an open “brood patch.” …

Heliconius butterflies, a speciose genus of Müllerian mimics, represent a classic example of
an adaptive radiation that includes a range of derived dietary, life history, physiological and …

In the highly derived syngnathid fishes (pipefishes, seadragons & seahorses), the evolution
of sex-role reversed brooding behavior culminated in the seahorse lineage's male …

Background Seahorses, seadragons, pygmy pipehorses, and pipefishes (Syngnathidae,
Syngnathiformes) are among the most recognizable groups of fishes because of their …

Nautilus is the sole surviving externally shelled cephalopod from the Palaeozoic. It is unique
within cephalopod genealogy and critical to understanding the evolutionary novelties of …
