Towards improved fish tests in ecotoxicology-efficient chronic and multi-generational testing with the killifish Nothobranchius furzeri
As many freshwaters are chemically polluted, one of the challenges for policy makers is to
determine the potential impact of these pollutants on ecosystems and to define safe …

Spatial scaling of population synchrony in marine fish depends on their life history
The synchrony of population dynamics in space has important implications for ecological
processes, for example affecting the spread of diseases, spatial distributions and risk of …

Conductivity and water level modulate developmental plasticity and explain distribution patterns in a diverse neotropical Odonata assemblage
Developmental plasticity can help organisms to survive in temporally variable environments.
However, it is not well understood how variation in life history plasticity helps species coexist …

Squeezing out the last egg—annual fish increase reproductive efforts in response to a predation threat
AF Grégoir, ESJ Thoré, C Philippe… - Ecology and …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Both constitutive and inducible antipredator strategies are ubiquitous in nature and serve to
maximize fitness under a predation threat. Inducible strategies may be favored over …

Consequences of biodiversity loss diverge from expectation due to post-extinction compensatory responses
Consensus has been reached that global biodiversity loss impairs ecosystem functioning
and the sustainability of services beneficial to humanity. However, the ecosystem …

Population-, sex-and individual level divergence in life-history and activity patterns in an annual killifish
Variation in life-history strategies along a slow-fast continuum is largely governed by life-
history trade-offs. The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) expands on this idea and …
