Analysis of zoogeographic, paleogeographic, and molecular data has shown that the
ancestors of many fresh-and brackish-water cold-tolerant hydrobionts of the Mediterranean …

Parallel evolution is considered strong evidence for natural selection. However, few studies
have investigated the process of parallel selection as it plays out in real time. The common …

Aquaculture in salt‐alkaline regions is encouraged in China, and culture of many aquatic
species has been introduced into these areas. In this study, we cultured two species, white …

Gymnocypris przewalskii is the only high-land endemic teleost living in Qinghai Lake, the
largest saline–alkaline lake in China. Its osmoregulatory physiology remains elusive due to …

Extreme environments are inhospitable to the majority of species, but some organisms are
able to survive in such hostile conditions due to evolutionary adaptations. For example …

The study of niche and interspecific relationships is one of the classical ecological theories.
We set up four desertification gradients. The “Levins” and “Pianka” method were used to …

How genetic variation contributes to adaptation at different environments is a central focus in
evolutionary biology. However, most free‐living species still lack a comprehensive …

The widespread use of halogenated flame retardants in recent years has led to the
accumulation of TBBPA in water, which may cause potential harm to living organisms. The …

Background The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is a model species for
toxicological research. A high-quality genome reference sequence is available, and …

Salinity adaptation is an important issue in aquaculture. Understanding the immediate-early
response to salinity stress helps in comprehending this process. In vitro experiments using …
