Distribution and abundance of syngnathus louisianae and syngnathus scovelli (syngnathidae) in tamiahua lagoon, gulf of mexico

Sex Recognition via Chemical Cues in the Sex-Role-Reversed Gulf Pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli)

Mate choice is often based on multivariate suites of traits perceived in more than one sensory modality (Partan & Marler 2005). A variety of scenarios have recently been proposed to address how these complex sets of traits evolve (Candolin 2003; Hebets & Papaj 2005) and interact to elicit receiver responses (Rowe 1999; Partan & Marler 2005; Chenoweth & Blows 2006). Sex-role-reversed systems pro...

Sexual selection on female ornaments in the sex-role-reversed Gulf pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli).

Understanding how selection acts on traits individually and in combination is an important step in deciphering the mechanisms driving evolutionary change, but for most species, and especially those in which sexual selection acts more strongly on females than on males, we have no estimates of selection coefficients pertaining to the multivariate sexually selected phenotype. Here, we use a labora...

The biometric and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence analysis of syngnathus abaster (Teleostei: Syngnathidae) in Caspian sea

The black-striped pipefish, Syngnathus abaster, is a species of the Syngnathidae family. This study provides data on the morphometric, meristic and genetic structuring of the Caspian Sea pipefish, Syngnathus abaster. Eight morphometric characteristics based on total length and five morphometric characteristics based on standard length were analyzed. A total of 50 specimens were collected in bra...
