Genetic and morphological divergence reveals local subdivision of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.)

Sperm characteristics in perch Perca fluviatilis L

Sperm production is a crucial factor for the potential reproductive success of males in many species (Nakatsuru & Kramer, 1982). Especially under strong sperm competition, higher sperm numbers in the ejaculates are likely to increase a male’s chance of fertilization (Parker et al., 1996). But sperm production is limited by physiological constraints, e.g. by testis size, which often depends on t...

Evolutionary mechanisms of population divergence in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.). 2005

First-year overwinter mortality in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.)

The importance of overwinter mortality of 0+ perch (Perm fluviatilis L.) in central European lakes was estimated using a stochastic simulation model. The probability of overwinter mortality of a perch co­ hort was calculated by using a model developed for yellow perch (P. flavescens Mitchill). Winter duration from a long-term data set and the length of perch at the end of the first year from fi...

Water Transparency Drives Intra-Population Divergence in Eurasian Perch (Perca fluviatilis)

Trait combinations that lead to a higher efficiency in resource utilization are important drivers of divergent natural selection and adaptive radiation. However, variation in environmental features might constrain foraging in complex ways and therefore impede the exploitation of critical resources. We tested the effect of water transparency on intra-population divergence in morphology of Eurasi...
