How blind cavefish rewrote evolution. In a new study, Yale researchers used genomic analysis to show when cavefishes lost their eyes, which provides a method for dating cave systems. Small, colourless […]
Salmon genes unlock secrets of puberty and evolution. A study carried out at the University of Helsinki shows how a single gene in Atlantic salmon can dramatically influence the timing […]
Prehistoric fish fills 100 million year gap in evolution of the skull. A 455-million-year-old fossil fish provides a new perspective on how vertebrates evolved to protect their brains, a study […]
Ancient theory FINally supported. A centuries old theory that has long been fiercely contested has now been backed-up by UK scientists. The theory first mooted in the late 1800s, suggested that paired fins evolved from gills, but has since been widely discounted. Now researchers have found evidence […]
Time shifted inhibition helps electric fish ignore their own signals. According to an article in Science Daily, electric fish generate electric pulses to communicate with other fish and sense their […]
How fishing affects fish growth. Over recent decades, many commercially harvested fish have grown slower and matured earlier, which can translate into lower yields and a reduced resilience to overexploitation. […]
Why do we eat fish, could some chimps’ crustacean crave yield clues about human evolution? At some point eons ago, our primarily fruit-eating ancestors put their hands in the water […]
Sea temperature can create new fish species. Warm and cool water temperatures over a long stretch of coastline cause new species of marine fish to evolve without being isolated from […]
