Systemic Granulomatosis in Guppies Poecilia reticulata
In many guppy Poecilia reticulata farms in the vicinity of Bangkok, diseases have caused longlasting fish death and consequently large cumulative mortality. Diseased guppies were collected and subjected to histopathological analysis. The analysis revealed systemic granulomatosis as a remarkable histological sign. Rod-shaped bacterial cells with strong acid-fastness were found in the granulomas....
متن کاملFamiliarity affects collective motion in shoals of guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
The coordinated and synchronized movement of animals in groups often referred to as collective motion emerges through the interactions between individual animals within the group. Factors which affect these interactions have the potential to shape collective movement. One such factor is familiarity, or the tendency to bias behaviour towards individuals as a result of social recognition. We exam...
متن کاملRapid evolution of escape ability in Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata).
Predators are widely assumed to create selection that shapes the evolution of prey escape abilities. However, this assumption is difficult to test directly due to the challenge of recording both predation and its evolutionary consequences in the wild. We examined these events by studying natural and experimental populations of Trinidadian guppies, Poecilia reticulata, which occur in distinct hi...
متن کاملVariation in anti-predator behavior among five strains of inbred guppies, Poecilia reticulata.
Quantitative genetic studies frequently utilize inbred strains of animals as tools for partitioning the direct and indirect effects of genes from environmental effects in generating an observed phenotype, however, this approach is rarely applied to behavioral studies. Guppies, Poecilia reticulata, perform a set of anti-predator behaviors that may provide an ideal system to study how complex beh...
متن کاملEffects of Deltamethrin on Lipase Activity in Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
Effect of the deltamethrin, which is extensively used synthetic pyrethroid, was investigated on the lipase activity of Poecilia reticulata in the present study. One control and five experimental groups were exposed to different concentrations of deltamethrin. Three experiments, including 60 guppies each, were conducted. Titration method was used in order to determine the lipase activity. Lipase...
