Article Synopsis
- The roundscale spearfish (Tetrapturus georgii) is not well-studied, leading to gaps in knowledge regarding its biology, ecology, and population status.
- Despite being morphologically distinct from similar species like the white marlin, misidentification complicates population assessments.
- This study presents the first documented records of a T. georgii egg and juvenile, offering new insights into its reproductive biology and early life stages, emphasizing the need for further research for effective conservation.
Article Synopsis
- * A study examined the long-term effects of fluoxetine exposure on male guppies, focusing on their boldness, metabolic rate, and morphology over an 8-month period.
- * While fluoxetine exposure did not significantly affect boldness or metabolic rate, it did change body condition, indicating the need for further research on how prolonged exposure influences wildlife fitness traits.
Article Synopsis
- - Juvenile pugnose pipefish, Bryx dunckeri, were found during a research survey in the Sargasso Sea, expanding their known range to the Western North Atlantic
- - The study provides essential information on the distribution, population structure, and size of this poorly understood species
- - Detailed photos and morphological data of the specimens are included, and the findings are discussed in the context of dispersal abilities and population dynamics in syngnathids
Aquatic ectotherms are vulnerable to thermal stress, with embryos predicted to be more sensitive than juveniles and adults. When examining the vulnerability of species and life stages to warming, comparable methodology must be used to obtain robust conclusions. Critical thermal methodology is commonly used to characterize acute thermal tolerances in fishes, with critical thermal maximum (CT) referring to the acute upper thermal tolerance limit.

This includes, for example, sharing code, data and research materials, embracing new publishing formats such as registered reports and preprints, pursuing replication studies and reanalyses, optimising statistical approaches to improve evidence assessment and re-evaluating institutional incentives. The ongoing shift towards open science practices is partly due to mounting evidence that studies across disciplines suffer from biases, underpowered designs and irreproducible or non-replicable results.
