The Truth About Nemo’s Dad: Sex-Changing Behaviors in Fishes
Thus far, I have provided evidence in mammals, birds, and reptiles that mammals may adaptively skew sex ratios of offspring and that mechanisms exist...

Age, growth and population dynamics of two congeneric and invasive gobies, Rhinogobius giurinus and R. cliffordpopei (Actinopterygii, Gobiidae) in a plateau lake, southwestern China
Although many goby species have become widely established outside of their native ranges, little is known yet about invasive population biology. The...

Loss of seasonal variability in nekton community structure in a tidal river: evidence for homogenization in a flow-altered system
Modifications to riverine systems that alter freshwater inflow to downstream estuarine habitats have resulted in altered patterns of nekton...

Biological and chemical responses in a temporarily open/closed estuary to variable freshwater inputs
In coastal lagoons with occasional connection to oceans, variations in physicochemical conditions and biological responses can be pronounced. To...
