Phylogeography of the plains killifish, Fundulus zebrinus.
Drainage systems of the Great Plains and western Gulf Slope underwent substantial changes through diversions and stream captures during the Pleistocene, either as the result of the glacial advances or through independent geologic processes. The distributions of a variety of fishes that range across west-central North America, such as the plains killifish (Fundulus zebrinus), are thought to be t...
متن کاملEndocrinological Studies on the Euryhaline Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus (Linn.) **
The common killifish of the eastern United States, Fundulus heteroclitus (Linn.), is widely employed as an experimental animal by zoologists, em-bryologists, and comparative physiologists. The late Dr. Myron Gordon8' points out that it is a hardy species of convenient size, readily caught in tidal pools but not usually bred in aquaria for purposes of raising the stock. Dr. Gordon warns against ...
متن کاملSwimbladder Function and Buoyancy Regulation in the Killifish Fundulus Heterochtus
Killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, subjected to artificial lift above their center of gravity (10% of body weight) required a minimum of 7-8 days to resorb swimbladder gases completely. The swimbladders of some fish, however, did not fall below 50% of normal volume. The rate of increase in swimbladder volume upon removal of lift varied little among individuals, with approximately 6 days required...

INTRODUCTION The euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus lives in estuaries and salt marshes on the eastern coast of North America. Killifish must dynamically regulate their ion balance because of routine fluctuations in salinity in their natural environment. This species can tolerate changes in salinity from freshwater to nearly four times seawater (Griffith, 1974), and have therefore been ...
متن کاملContemporary and historical influences on the genetic structure of the estuarine-dependent Gulf killifish Fundulus grandis
In comparison to species living in open marine environments, estuarine-dependent species are expected to exhibit stronger genetic population structure due to dispersal limitations. Estuarine habitats are relatively transitory on geological time scales; thus, populations may not be at migration–drift equilibrium, which could confound estimates of current day gene flow or selection. We used 8 nuc...
