During the mid-Palaeozoic, vascular land plants (ie, tracheophytes) underwent a great
radiation that triggered the development of the land biosphere–the so-called Silurian …

This chapter reviews and synthesises knowledge on reproduction and recruitment in estuary‐
dependent and estuary‐associated fishes. Resident and migrating species (anadromous …

Ammocoetes—the filter-feeding larvae of modern lampreys—have long influenced
hypotheses of vertebrate ancestry 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The life history of modern lampreys …

This chapter examines how zoogeography and estuarine typology can influence fish
assemblages. There is a focus on the global classification of estuary‐associated fish species …

For many decades, the role of estuaries as important nursery areas for fishes was accepted
as fact by scientists and environmental managers. At the turn of the 21 st century, a question …

Patterns of growth throughout the lifetime of an animal reflect critical life history traits such as
reproductive timing, physiology, and ecological interactions. The ancestral growth pattern for …

Acanthodians are a poorly understood paraphyletic grade of extinct Palaeozoic fishes. They
play an increasingly prominent role in our understanding of vertebrate evolution as part of …

Actinopterygii makes up half of living vertebrate diversity, and study of fossil members during
their Palaeozoic rise to dominance has a long history of descriptive work. Although research …

This study assessed zooplankton density and Chl-a amount to understand their spatial and
seasonal variation in Lake Malombe. Samples were collected for analysis during the hot, dry …

Shallow littoral waters in estuaries provide important nurseries for a diversity of fish species.
The recent review of Whitfield (2020; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 649: 219-234) reinforced the long …
