Imagine you are a kind of fish called a goby, part of a huge family of more than 2,000 species. Maybe you're of average size for a goby, about three to four inches long. Your longest relative is about ...

Newswise — Scientists show the extraordinary diversity of cichlid fish in Africa’s Lake Victoria was made possible by ‘genetic recycling’ - repeated cycles of new species appearing and rapidly ...

In Hungary, ethological research is most often identified with tests on dogs, but novel methodological advances could bring another species, the paradise fish, into the spotlight. Fish are easy to ...

Marine fish populations exhibit complex genetic structures shaped by high connectivity, local selection pressures and human exploitation. Genome-wide analyses now reveal that even species with ...

Salmonid fishes, encompassing salmon, trout and char, exhibit remarkable genetic diversity and complex population structures shaped by their anadromous and freshwater life histories. Genetic diversity ...

Scientists show the extraordinary diversity of cichlid fish in Africa’s Lake Victoria was made possible by ‘genetic recycling’ - repeated cycles of new species appearing and rapidly adapting to ...

The rapid formation of 500 different species of fish in a single lake, each with specialized ecological roles, resulted from a small but genetically diverse hybrid population. Scientists show the ...

Sand lance, a vital forage fish, may be facing new challenges as the oceans warm. Researchers have found two genetically distinct populations of Northern sand lance which may help inform conservation ...

Long ago, aquatic animals adapted to live on land, and these first land-dwelling vertebrates are known as tetrapods. This group includes all of the vertebrates that used four limbs and a set of lungs ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Genetic mutations in zebra fish are what one scientist said is leading to interesting study results at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF). Everyone has probably ...
