Although first described in 1880, Kryptolebias marmoratus avoided scientific scrutiny until
1961, when it was identified as the only known selfing hermaphroditic vertebrate. The …

The scientific study of networks-computer, social, and biological-has received an enormous
amount of interest in recent years. However, the network approach has been applied to the …

The mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus (Rivulidae, Cyprinodontiformes), is
phylogenetically embedded within a large clade of oviparous (egg laying) and otherwise …

A synopsis is provided of different expressions of whole-animal vertebrate clonality (asexual
organismal-level reproduction), both in the laboratory and in nature. For vertebrate taxa …

This book is the first to give a complete overview of the current knowledge of annual fishes,
covering their life cycle, reproductive biology, evolutionary ecology, reproductive behavior …

The hermaphroditic Mangrove Killifish, Kryptolebias marmoratus, is the world's only
vertebrate that routinely self-fertilizes. As such, highly inbred and presumably isogenic …

Consistent differences in behaviour, termed behavioural types (BTs) are well documented in
the animal kingdom. Relatively little is known, however, about how and why consistency is …

In addition to genetic variation, epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation might
make important contributions to heritable phenotypic diversity in populations. However, it is …

The order Cyprinodontiformes contains an exceptional diversity of amphibious taxa,
including at least 34 species from six families. These cyprinodontiforms often inhabit …

Introgression is a widespread evolutionary process leading to phylogenetic inconsistencies
among distinct parts of the genomes, particularly between mitochondrial and nuclear-based …
