We document four male colour morphs of the Indo-Pacific goby genus Lentipes in Japan and Philippines. Despite distinctive patterns, males different could not be distinguished by meristic or morphometric characters. In contrast, co-occurring females had very similar colouration sorted into types. observed that types are mitochondrial genome sequences. On other hand, genome-wide SNPs analysis cle...

Pethiyagoda et al. (2012) made available the genus-group name Dravidia (type species Cirrhinus fasciatus Jerdon, 1849: 305) for the ‘Puntius fasciatus’ group of fishes endemic to the peninsula of India. We were unaware at the time this paper was written (2010) that this name had shortly before been preoccupied by Dravidia Lehrer, 2010, in Diptera: Sarcophagidae. As such, a replacement name for ...

A phylogeny was generated for Leiognathidae, commonly known as ponyfishes, using nucleotide characters from two mitochondrial genes. Results indicate that Leiognathidae comprises two major clades, one consisting of species that exhibit internally sexually dimorphic light-organ systems (LOS), and the Leiognathus equulus species complex, whose members exhibit neither internal nor external sexual ...

As has already been announced in SciENCE and the newspaper press, the name of the Scripps Institution was changed on October 14, 1925, by the negents of the University of California from Scripps Institution for Biological Research to Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California. ·rD. connection with the change in name it seems de~irable to . make entirely clear the relati...

In our continuous effort to utilize new technologies in our museum, we must not forget that the starting point is the creation of displays which can be touched by the hands, observed by the eyes, and heard by the ears of the people coming to see them. We have discussed whether to utilize hypermedia to manufacture "a display for conveying messages to museum visitors" instead of "hypermedia to sh...

A software package of realization of mathematical models of pollutants transport in rivers is offered. This package is designed as a up-to-date convenient, reliable tool for specialists of various areas of knowledge such as ecology, hydrology, building, agriculture, biology, ichthyology and so on. It allows us to calculate pollutant concentrations at any point of the river depending on the quan...

In this paper, the main trends of long-term (over 70 years) studies conducted by Laboratory Fish Ecology and Aquatic Invertebrates at Institute Biology Karelian Research Centre RAS are described their results reported. The science school in ichthyology hydrobiology, well-known now Russia abroad, has formed Karelia over years research on aquatic ecosystems. ecosystems Karelia’s greatest asset. r...

Abiotic factors of the water environment are essential for life hydrobionts. They determined by two main criteria – intensity impact factor and tolerance each species. The work aims to substantiate adaptive capabilities this summer's koi carp (Cyprinus carpio koi) under influence low high temperatures, compare coefficients breathing rhythms research objects.
