Heterogeneous evolution of effective recombination landscapes across percomorph fishes

The paper quantifies recombination landscape divergence across percomorph fish species using PRDI and finds divergence increases with genetic differentiation and divergence time, with variation among species pairs.

Sperm attraction by female reproductive fluid in a fish with an unconventional fertilisation strategy

The paper tests if female reproductive fluid (FRF) in bitterling fish retains sperm-attracting properties despite their unique fertilization strategy involving water currents.

Rapid evolution in response to biological invasion: variation in resistance and survival of the European bitterling fish across a gradient of Sinanodonta woodiana expansion

The paper examines how European bitterling fish populations adapt to parasitism by invasive mussels, finding evolved tolerance in long-associated populations.

Sex chromosome turnover in African annual killifishes of the genus Nothobranchius

This study investigates sex chromosome evolution in Nothobranchius killifishes, identifying multiple origins and structural differences in sex chromosomes across species.

Fast centromeric repeat turnover provides a glimpse into satellite DNA evolution in Nothobranchius annual killifishes

The paper investigates satDNA evolution in Nothobranchius killifishes, identifying centromere-associated repeats and suggesting centromere drive and spindle polarity reversal as factors in karyotype change.

Conserved satellite DNA motif and lack of interstitial telomeric sites in highly rearranged African Nothobranchius killifish karyotypes

The paper analyzes the distribution of satellite DNA and telomeric repeats in Nothobranchius killifish species, revealing conserved satDNA patterns and insights into karyotype evolution and sex chromosome differentiation.

Reduced wound healing and angiogenesis in aged zebrafish and turquoise killifish.

This study shows that aged zebrafish and turquoise killifish exhibit reduced fin regeneration and angiogenesis, with VEGF-A expression and vascular density changes, suggesting a key role for angiogenesis in aging wound healing.

Regulation of Life Span by the Gut Microbiota in The Short-Lived African Turquoise Killifish

This study shows that transferring gut bacteria from young African turquoise killifish to middle-aged ones extends their lifespan and delays aging-related behavioral decline.
