Not all fish play by the same reproductive rules. Evolutionary biology reveals how deception became a successful mating ...

Fish reproductive biology and ecology encompass a diverse range of phenomena from gametogenesis and spawning strategies to larval development and recruitment patterns. Recent studies have highlighted ...

The ocean is home to a vast array of different animals, each with its own traits. These include different forms of mating, such as parasitic mating. Parasitic mating occurs when the male physically ...

In the deep ocean, where sunlight never reaches, and food drifts down like confetti, survival is less about speed and more ...

Parental egg-care in fish traps them in an evolutionary dead-end through the loss of the chorion-hardening system, according to scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo. Fish have diverse ...

Scientists have discovered they can boost the reproductive success of zebrafish by pairing them on personality rather than appearance. Experts at the University of Stirling, collaborating with the ...

The Tibetan Plateau has the richest water resources in Asia, but is highly affected by global climate change. Intensified water cycling has increasingly affected the aquatic environment since the ...

Researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo present the underlying reasons behind the evolutionary bias in reproductive strategies of egg-care species. Using 240 whole genome sequences of fish species ...
