Variation in reproductive strategies of two amphidromous gobies of the West Indies: Sicydium plumieri and Sicydium punctatum
The trade-off between current and future reproduction remains a central issue for understanding the diversity of fish life-histories along a slow-fast continuum. Fish living in rivers of tropical oceanic islan...

Biogeographical snapshot of life-history traits of European silver eels: insights from otolith microchemistry
Life-history traits of eels display a high level of phenotypic plasticity in response to large-scale biogeographical drivers, as well as local conditions encountered during the continental phase. Here, we prov...

A multi-approach study to reveal eel life-history traits in an obstructed catchment before dam removal
River fragmentation is expected to impact not only movement patterns and distribution of eels within catchment, but also their life-history traits. Here, we used otolith multi-elemental signatures to reconstru...

Looking for environmental and endocrine factors inducing the transformation of Sicyopterus lagocephalus (Pallas 1770) (Teleostei: Gobiidae: Sicydiinae) freshwater prolarvae into marine larvae
During their ontogenetic development, many species of fishes undergo drastic changes which may be defined as true metamorphosis when they are induced by thyroid hormones. Sicyopterus lagocephalus is an amphidromo...

Open AccessFunctional redundancy and sensitivity of fish assemblages in European rivers, lakes and estuarine ecosystems
The impact of species loss on ecosystems functioning depends on the amount of trait similarity between species, i.e. functional redundancy, but it is also influenced by the order in which species are lost. Her...

Reproductive biology of an amphidromous goby, Sicyopterus lagocephalus, in La Réunion Island
In the Indo-Pacific region, rivers are inhabited by amphidromous gobies. They are often subjected to a heavy fishing pressure, highlighting the urgent need to acquire knowledge on their biology for management ...

Habitat selection in amphidromous Gobiidae of Reunion Island: Sicyopterus lagocephalus (Pallas, 1770) and Cotylopus acutipinnis (Guichenot, 1863)
Freshwater populations of the Indo-pacific region are characterized by a large proportion of amphidromous species. In this paper, we analyse habitat selection by two amphidromous sympatric Gobiidae: Sicyopterus l...
