Support for eDNA as a quantitative monitoring tool is growing worldwide. Despite advances, there are still uncertainties regarding the representability of signal over varying spatiotemporal scales, influence abiotic forcing, and phenological changes affecting behavior study organism, particularly in open environments. To assess variability predictive power analysis, we applied species-specific ...

S-starts are a major class of fast-start behaviors that serve diverse locomotor functions in fishes, playing roles in both feeding strike and escape startle events. While movement patterns are similar during strike and startle, their motor control mechanisms have not been compared. To investigate heterogeneity in S-start responses and to test the hypothesis that S-starts are generated by the sa...

The practice within recreational fisheries to release captured fish back the wild, known as catch-and-release (C&R), is an increasingly important strategy protect stocks from overexploitation. However, C&R a stressor and since animal reproduction particularly sensitive stress there reason suspect that such induces sublethal fitness consequences. Here, we investigated whether how fishing influen...

This study is devoted to the investigation of Azygia (Digenea: Azygiidae) species diversity using classical morphological, recent molecular tools (28S rRNA and cox1 mtDNA for genetic-based inference) robust statistical techniques (Principal component analysis, PCA). The analysis revealed that genus included four valid species: A. lucii, longa, hwangtsiyui, sibirica n. sp. distribution type luci...
