The distribution of the introduced tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi in Australian freshwater fishes.
Native and exotic fishes were collected from 29 sites across coastal and inland New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, using a range of techniques, to infer the distribution of Bothriocephalus acheilognathi (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea) and the host species in which it occurs. The distribution of B. acheilognathi was determined by that of its principal host, carp, Cyprinus carpio; it did not oc...
متن کاملContrasting Patterns of Larval Mortality in Two Sympatric Riverine Fish Species: A Test of the Critical Period Hypothesis
Understanding the causal mechanisms that determine recruitment success is critical to the effective conservation of wild fish populations. Although recruitment strength is likely determined during early life when mortality is greatest, few studies have documented age-specific mortality rates for fish during this period. We investigated age-specific mortality of individual cohorts of two species...
متن کاملCytonuclear evidence for hybridogenetic reproduction in natural populations of the Australian carp gudgeon (Hypseleotris: Eleotridae).
Although most vertebrates reproduce sexually, a small number of fishes, amphibians and reptiles are known in which reproduction is asexual, i.e. without meiotic recombination. In fishes, these so-called unisexual lineages usually comprise only females and utilize co-occurring males of a related sexual species to reproduce via gynogenesis or hybridogenesis. Here, we examine patterns of microsate...
متن کاملIntegration of sedimentology and geoelectrical studies in Quaternary deposits in western and eastern coastal areas of southern part of Lake Urmia
Extended Abstract 1-Introduction Interdisciplinary studies play an important role in answering engineering questions. Identifying the characteristics of alluviums, underground water exploration and minerals, along with geotechnical studies in the construction of heavy structures are just some of these applications. Following the increasing drying of Lake Urmia, various research has been conduc...
متن کاملLaboratory evaluation of the predation efficacy of native Australian fish on Culex annulirostris (Diptera: Culicidae).
The introduction and establishment of fish populations can provide long-term, cost-effective mosquito control in habitats such as constructed wetlands and ornamental lakes. The predation efficacy of 7 native Brisbane freshwater fish on 1st and 4th instars of the freshwater arbovirus vector Culex annulirostris was evaluated in a series of 24-h laboratory trials. The trials were conducted in 30-l...
