The turquoise killifish, Nothobranchius furzeri, is a promising vertebrate model in ageing
research and an emerging model organism in genomics, regenerative medicine …

An annual life cycle is characterized by short-lived adults that exploit seasonally productive
but temporary habitats, paired with a hardy embryo stage that survives unfavourable …

Repeated, independent emergence of the same trait within different phylogenetic lineages is
termed parallel evolution. It typically occurs as a result of similar selective pressures. Annual …

Embryo–environment interactions are of paramount importance during the development of
all organisms, and impacts during this period can echo far into later stages of ontogeny …

Annual killifish live in temporary pools which completely lose water during the dry season.
They bury their eggs in the muddy bottom where they stay through the entire dry season …

Sex change (sequential hermaphroditism) has evolved repeatedly in teleost fishes when
demographic conditions mediate fundamentally different sex-specific returns for individuals …

Populations of annual killifishes persist in temporary water bodies over the dry season
through the expression of diapause in their drought‐resistant embryos. Environmental cues …

Cellular aspects of oocyte development of the Mexican rivulus Millerichthys robustus were
morphologically described in order to analyze ovarian function and the cellular recruitment …

Leptopanchax opalescens is a critically endangered small annual fish. Reproductive traits of
this species were studied to improve our understanding of the strategies that facilitate the …

Background Theory predicts that drought‐resistant embryos with extended incubations are
evolutionarily favored in environments with high mortality of larvae but safe for eggs. Here …
