Mudskippers are borderline organisms whose biology, systematics and evolution has attracted research attention for so long. There controversies in their especially because the morphological classifies plastic can be dependent on life stage, living conditions expertise of scientist. This paper sort to characterize Nigerian mudskippers using firstly morphometry, then DNA barcoding complete mitoge...

Aim Specialized life histories can restrict the way that organisms move through landscape. Some fishes, such as mudskippers in family Gobiidae, are obligately amphibious and require a terrestrial phase which adults build burrows lay eggs mudflats. To evaluate whether this restricted, out-of-water might influence population structure one mudskipper, we tested populations separated by water more ...
