A habitat-specific fish-based approach to assess the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons (2009)
Journal Article
Franco, A., Torricelli, P., & Franzoi, P. (2009). A habitat-specific fish-based approach to assess the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. Marine pollution bulletin, 58(11), 1704-1717. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2009.06.016

A habitat approach was promoted in the framework of ecological status assessment of transitional waters, assuming the importance of habitat heterogeneity to the overall system status. The approach was applied to the use of fish-based multimetric indi... Read More about A habitat-specific fish-based approach to assess the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons.

Sex ratio, reproductive mode and genetic diversity in Triops cancriformis (2009)
Journal Article
Zierold, T., Montero-Pau, J., Hänfling, B., & Gómez, A. (2009). Sex ratio, reproductive mode and genetic diversity in Triops cancriformis. Freshwater biology, 54(7), 1392-1405. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2427.2009.02191.x

1. Aquatic invertebrates display a wide array of alternative reproductive modes from apomixis to hermaphroditism and cyclical parthenogenesis. These have important effects on genetic diversity and population structure. Populations of the 'living foss...

Madagascar as a model region of species diversification (2009)
Journal Article

Tropical biotas provide excellent settings in which to explore mechanisms of evolutionary diversification, yet these processes remain poorly understood. Pioneering work on biodiversity patterns and diversification processes in other tropical regions... Read More about Madagascar as a model region of species diversification.

Plasticity in male courtship behaviour as a function of light intensity in guppies (2009)
Journal Article
Chapman, B. B., Morrell, L. J., & Krause, J. (2009). Plasticity in male courtship behaviour as a function of light intensity in guppies. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 63(12), 1757-1763. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-009-0796-4

The environment is profoundly important in shaping many aspects of animal phenotype, including courtship and mating behaviours. Courtship displays rely upon the transmission of visual information from the signaller to the receiver, which means they a...

Do taxonomic divisions reflect genetic differentiation? A comparison of morphological and genetic data in Coenonympha tullia (Müller), Satyrinae (2009)
Journal Article
Joyce, D. A., Dennis, R. L. H., Bryant, S. R., Shreeve, T. G., Pullin, A. S., & Ready, J. S. (2009). Do taxonomic divisions reflect genetic differentiation? A comparison of morphological and genetic data in Coenonympha tullia (Müller), Satyrinae. Biological journal of the Linnean Society, 97(2), 314-327. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2009.01213.x

Historically, morphological variation has been used to classify many species (and subspecies) of Lepidop tera. However, some of this variation may be unsuitable for inferring the recent evolutionary history of populations. Genetic data provide an alt...

Journal Article

Olfactory sensitivity to bile salts is wide-spread in teleosts; however, which bile salts are released in sufficient quantities to be detected is unclear. The current study identified bile salts in the intestinal and bile fluids of Solea senegalensis...
